Why Computer Security • The past decade has seen an explosion in the concern for the security of information – Malicious codes (viruses, worms, etc. ) caused over $28 billion in economic losses in 2003 • Security specialists markets are expanding ! – “Salary Premiums for Security Certifications Increasing” (Computerworld 2007) • Up to 15% more salary • Demand is being driven not only by compliance and government regulation, but also by customers who are "demanding more security" from companies 1

Why Computer Security (cont’d) • Internet attacks are increasing in frequency, severity and sophistication • Denial of service (Do. S) attacks – Cost $1. 2 billion in 2000 – 1999 CSI/FBI survey 32% of respondents detected Do. S attacks directed to their systems – Thousands of attacks per week in 2001 – Yahoo, Amazon, e. Bay, Microsoft, White House, etc. , attacked 2

The History of Computing • For a long time, security was largely ignored in the community – The computer industry was in “survival mode”, struggling to overcome technological and economic hurdles – As a result, a lot of comers were cut and many compromises made – There was lots of theory, and even examples of systems built with very good security, but were largely ignored or unsuccessful • E. g. , ADA language vs. C (powerful and easy to use) 5

Computing Today is Very Different • Computers today are far from “survival mode” –

Computing Today is Very Different • Computers today are far from “survival mode” – Performance is abundant and the cost is very cheap – As a result, computers now ubiquitous at every facet of society • Internet – Computers are all connected and interdependent – This codependency magnifies the effects of any failures 6

Biological Analogy • Computing today is very homogeneous. – A single architecture and a handful of OS dominates • In biology, homogeneous populations are in danger – A single disease or virus can wipe them out overnight because they all share the same weakness – The disease only needs a vector to travel among hosts • Computers are like the animals, the Internet provides the vector. – It is like having only one kind of cow in the world, and having them drink from one single pool of water! 7

The Definition of Computer Security • Security is a state of well-being of information

The Definition of Computer Security • Security is a state of well-being of information and infrastructures in which the possibility of successful yet undetected theft, tampering, and disruption of information and services is kept low or tolerable • Security rests on confidentiality, authenticity, integrity, and availability 10

The Basic Components • Confidentiality is the concealment of information or resources. – E.

The Basic Components • Confidentiality is the concealment of information or resources. – E. g. , only sender, intended receiver should “understand” message contents • Authenticity is the identification and assurance of the origin of information. • Integrity refers to the trustworthiness of data or resources in terms of preventing improper and unauthorized changes. • Availability refers to the ability to use the information or resource desired. 11

Security Threats and Attacks • A threat/vulnerability is a potential violation of security. –

Security Threats and Attacks • A threat/vulnerability is a potential violation of security. – Flaws in design, implementation, and operation. • An attack is any action that violates security. – Active adversary • An attack has an implicit concept of “intent” – Router mis-configuration or server crash can also cause loss of availability, but they are not attacks 12

RSA (Rivest, Shamir, Adleman) • The most popular one. • Support both public key encryption and digital signature. • Assumption/theoretical basis: – Factoring a big number is hard. • Variable key length (usually 512 bits). • Variable plaintext block size. – Plaintext must be “smaller” than the key. – Ciphertext block size is the same as the key length. 63

What Is RSA? • To generate key pair: – Pick large primes (>= 512

What Is RSA? • To generate key pair: – Pick large primes (>= 512 bits each) p and q – Let n = p*q, keep your p and q to yourself! – For public key, choose e that is relatively prime to ø(n) =(p-1)(q-1), let pub = <e, n> – For private key, find d that is the multiplicative inverse of e mod ø(n), i. e. , e*d = 1 mod ø(n), let priv = <d, n> 64

RSA Example 1. Select primes: p=17 & q=11 2. Compute n = pq =17×

RSA Example 1. Select primes: p=17 & q=11 2. Compute n = pq =17× 11=187 3. Compute ø(n)=(p– 1)(q-1)=16× 10=160 4. Select e : gcd(e, 160)=1; choose e=7 5. Determine d: de=1 mod 160 and d < 160 Value is d=23 since 23× 7=161= 10× 160+1 6. Publish public key KU={7, 187} 7. Keep secret private key KR={23, 17, 11} 65

Cryptanalysis Scheme • Ciphertext only: – Exhaustive search until “recognizable plaintext” – Need enough ciphertext • Known plaintext: – Secret may be revealed (by spy, time), thus <ciphertext, plaintext> pair is obtained – Great for monoalphabetic ciphers • Chosen plaintext: – Choose text, get encrypted – Pick patterns to reveal the structure of the key 85

One-Time Pad • If a truly random key as long as the message is

One-Time Pad • If a truly random key as long as the message is used, the cipher will be secure - One-Time pad • E. g. , a random sequence of 0’s and 1’s XORed to plaintext, no repetition of keys • Unbreakable since ciphertext bears no statistical relationship to the plaintext • For any plaintext, it needs a random key of the same length – Hard to generate large amount of keys • Have problem of safe distribution of key 86

Confusion and Diffusion • Cipher needs to completely obscure statistical properties of original message

Confusion and Diffusion • Cipher needs to completely obscure statistical properties of original message • A one-time pad does this • More practically Shannon suggested S-P networks to obtain: • Diffusion – dissipates statistical structure of plaintext over bulk of ciphertext • Confusion – makes relationship between ciphertext and key as complex as possible 87

Padding Twist • Given original message M, add padding bits “ 10*” such that resulting length is 64 bits less than a multiple of 512 bits. • Append (original length in bits mod 264), represented in 64 bits to the padded message • Final message is chopped 512 bits a block 95

Why Does RSA Work? • Given pub = <e, n> and priv = <d, n> – n =p*q, ø(n) =(p-1)(q-1) – e*d = 1 mod ø(n) – xe d = x mod n – encryption: c = me mod n – decryption: m = cd mod n = me d mod n = m (since m < n) – digital signature (similar) 96
