Automated Side-Channel Vulnerability Discovery and Hardening

Ali Galip Bayrak

In traditional cryptography, an attacker tries to infer a mathematical relationship between the inputs and outputs of a cryptosystem to recover secret information. With the advances in the theoretical basis of the cryptographic algorithms, this task became ...

Breaking `128-bit Secure' Supersingular Binary Curves

Robert Granger

The discrete logarithm problem (DLP) in finite fields of small characteristic recently enjoyed a dramatic series of breakthrough results and computational records, with its (heuristic) complexity dropping from subexponential to quasi-polynomial. While thes ...

Breaking the IOC Authenticated Encryption Mode

Serge Vaudenay, Reza Reyhanitabar, Paul Bottinelli

In this paper we cryptanalyse a block cipher mode of operation, called Input Output Chaining (IOC), designed by Recacha and submitted to NIST in 2013 for consideration as a lightweight authenticated encryption mode. We present an existential forgery attack ...

Bounded Tamper Resilience: How to go beyond the Algebraic Barrier

Sebastian Faust

Related key attacks (RKAs) are powerful cryptanalytic attacks where an adversary can change the secret key and observe the effect of such changes at the output. The state of the art in RKA security protects against an a-priori unbounded number of certain a ...

Statistical and Algebraic Cryptanalysis of Lightweight and Ultra-Lightweight Symmetric Primitives

Pouyan Sepehrdad

Symmetric cryptographic primitives such as block and stream ciphers are the building blocks in many cryptographic protocols. Having such blocks which provide provable security against various types of attacks is often hard. On the other hand, if possible, ...

Unconditionally-Secure Robust Secret Sharing with Compact Shares

Alfonso Bolívar Cevallos Manzano

We consider the problem of reconstructing a shared secret in the presence of faulty shares, with unconditional security. We require that any t shares give no information on the shared secret, and reconstruction is possible even if up to t out of the n shar ...

A Mobile World of Security

Christine Neuberg

Security in mobile communications is a topic of increasing relevance in everyday life. We all use mobile devices for everyday communications, maybe even for exchanging confidential information with the work place. This requires security systems that are re ...

Adaptive Message Authentication for Multi-Hop Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Nikodin Ristanovic, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Georgios Theodorakopoulos

Recent benchmarks indicate that the use of public key cryptography results in non negligible verification times on platforms with limited processing power. In this paper, we focus on multi-hop Inter-Vehicle Communication and show that the increase in messa ...

Using the Cloud to Determine Key Strengths

Arjen Lenstra, Thorsten Kleinjung

We develop a new methodology to assess cryptographic key strength using cloud computing, by calculating the true economic cost of (symmetric- or private-) key retrieval for the most common cryptographic primitives. Although the present paper gives the curr ...

A First Step Towards Automatic Application of Power Analysis Countermeasures

Paolo Ienne, Francesco Regazzoni, Philip Brisk, Ali Galip Bayrak

In cryptography, side channel attacks, such as power analysis, attempt to uncover secret information from the physical implementation of cryptosystems rather than exploiting weaknesses in the cryptographic algorithms themselves. The design and implementati ...
