Components of Cryptographic Systems​

Plaintext​

The original form of information.

Ciphertext​

The result of encoding plaintext.

Encryption Algorithm​

The process of encoding plaintext is called encryption, and the rules of encoding are called encryption algorithms.

Decryption Algorithm​

The process of recovering plaintext from ciphertext is called decryption, and the rules of recovery are called decryption algorithms.

Key​

Controls the mutual conversion between plaintext and ciphertext, divided into encryption key and decryption key.

Classification of Cryptographic Systems​

Based on Data Processing Characteristics​

  • Block Ciphers: Encrypt data on a block-by-block basis.
  • Stream Ciphers: Encrypt data bit by bit.

Based on Development Stage of Cryptography​

  • Traditional Ciphers (Classical Ciphers)
    • Substitution Ciphers: Shuffle the order of plaintext (e.g., rotor cipher).
    • Transposition Ciphers: Change the letters of plaintext (e.g., Caesar cipher).
  • Modern Ciphers

Based on Cryptographic Characteristics​

  • Symmetric Ciphers
  • Asymmetric Ciphers (Public Key Cryptography)

Block ciphers and stream ciphers can be regarded as subclasses of symmetric encryption.

Elements Required by Cryptographic Devices​

Security, performance, ease of use, cost.

Design Principles of Block Ciphers and Their Meanings​

Confusion​

Complex relationship between the key, ciphertext, and plaintext to thwart cryptanalysis.

Diffusion​

Each bit of plaintext affects many bits of ciphertext to hide statistical properties of plaintext.

Each bit of the key affects many bits of ciphertext to prevent cracking the key bit by bit.

Enigma Cipher Machine​

Plugboard​

Increased complexity of the key space.

Rotors​

Increased algorithm complexity.

Reflector​

Security depends on the key.

Five Elements​

  • Plaintext: Original text.
  • Ciphertext: Encrypted text.
  • Encryption Algorithm: Single-table substitution + multi-table substitution.
  • Decryption Algorithm: Same as encryption algorithm.
  • Key: Plugboard settings, rotor arrangement, rotor positions.

DES Encryption Algorithm​

Block cipher that divides plaintext into 64 bits, uses a 56-bit key to generate 48-bit subkeys, encrypts each 64-bit plaintext block with subkeys to produce 64-bit ciphertext.

Subkey Generation Algorithm​

Simple and fast to generate.

Each bit of the key has roughly the same influence on each bit of the subkey.

Round Function​

  • Non-linearity: Reflects algorithm complexity.
  • Reversibility: Enables decryption.
  • Avalanche Effect

Requirements for Sequence Passwords' Password Sequence Generators​

  • Long seed key length
  • Maximum period
  • Randomness
  • Irreversibility
  • Avalanche effect
  • Password sequence unpredictability (knowing the first half should not predict the second half)

Symmetric Encryption​

Advantages​

Fast computation speed.

Relatively short key length.

No data expansion.

Disadvantages​

Difficult key distribution.

Large number of keys to be kept secret, difficult to maintain.

Difficult to achieve digital signature and authentication functions.

Public Key Cryptography​

Significance​

Public key cryptography is a hallmark of modern cryptography and is the largest and only true revolution in the history of cryptography.

Idea​

Encryption key is the public key.

Decryption key is the private key.

Advantages​

Easy key distribution.

Small amount of secret keys to be kept secret.

Ability to implement digital signature and authentication functions.

Disadvantages​

Regarding Hash and Authentication: Without a certificate, the identity of the party obtaining the public key cannot be confirmed.

Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange​

Scheme​

Publicly agree on p and g.

Alice and Bob each choose a number a and b.

Compute g^a mod p = Ka and g^b mod p = Kb to exchange.

Ka^b mod p = Kb^a mod p = K is the key.

Achievement

Limitations

RSA Public Key Cryptography​

One-way Trapdoor Function​

Given P and M, calculating C = P(M) is easy.

Given C but not S, calculating M is difficult.

Algorithm​

  • Select two large prime numbers, p and q.
  • Calculate n=pq*.
  • Select e such that gcd(e,φ(n))=1.
  • d*e ≡1 (mod φ(n)).

Keep p and q secret.

e and n are public keys.

d is the private key.

Encryption Algorithm: C = E(M) ≡ M^e (mod n).

Decryption Algorithm: M = D(C) ≡ C^d (mod n).

Summary​

  • The first practical public key algorithm.
  • The most widely used public key encryption algorithm.
  • RSA's theoretical basis is Euler's theorem in number theory.
  • RSA's security relies on the difficulty of factoring large numbers.

  • ->SYN request
  • <-SYN/ACK response
  • ->ACK packet

DoS Attack:

  • Sending a SYN with a fake IP source address.
  • Server responds with SYN/ACK to the fake IP and waits for an ACK.
  • No response, server retries and waits.

DDoS:

Using a botnet to distribute denial of service attacks.

  • Detection: Scanning for vulnerable hosts.
  • Injection: Planting a trojan on vulnerable hosts.
  • Control: Choosing MasterServer, placing a guardian program.
  • Command: Sending attack signal to other hosts.

Password Authentication Based on Hash Functions​

Benefits​

  • Passwords are not stored anywhere.
  • Passwords are stored as hash values.
  • Passwords are not known by the administrator.
