Introduction
Neha Patel

CSPIT-Changa.

• The advancement of technology has made man dependent on Internet for all
his needs.
• Internet has given man easy access to everything while sitting at one place.
Social networking, online shopping, storing data, gaming, online studying,
online jobs, every possible thing that man can think of can be done through
the medium of internet.
• Internet is used in almost every sphere.
• With the development of the internet and its related benefits also developed
the concept of cyber crimes.
• Cyber crimes are committed in different forms. A few years back, there was
lack of awareness about the crimes that could be committed through internet.
Why Need to Study this Subject?

Cyber Attacks
• Phishing fraud :Escorts MD Nikhil Nanda, son-in-law of Amitabh Bachchan, was cheated into submitting
his email ID, password and date of birth to a fake Microsoft account on July 21-13. The scamsters hacked
two email accounts and his social network profile, and sought money from his contacts by impersonating
him.
• Sony Cyber Attack One of Worst in Corporate History. Wiper-Malware attack. Nov-14
– Thousands of files, seized by hackers last week, have been leaked online including personal details of
around 6,000 Sony employees, upcoming Sony feature films and the salary details of top executives.
• Xbox Live is Struggling Due to a Lizard Squad DDoS Attack .Dec-14
– This DDoS has resulted in many users being unable to connect to the service, making online play next
to impossible, in addition to impacting update and game downloads.
• Huawei hacked India’s Biggest telecommunication Network ‘BSNL’ –Feb -14
• Sony Xperia Smartphones have default installed Spyware, Sending data to China –oct-14
• One in Six Smartphone Users Victim of Cyber Attack: Study The Indian News Express.
• Report by Arbor Networks reveals that India has seen a significant increase in attacks against financial
and government organizations, with 34 percent and 43 percent reporting cyber threats and attacks
respectively, up from last year’s 15 percent and 19 percent respectively

The Internet landscape has been
transformed into a binary battlefield.

keyboard?

Tutorial#1
• For the two entities A and B to communicate with each other semantically correctly,
• Identify what are the properties desired in the protocol that facilitates the
communication ?
• What additional properties are required in presence of an adversary ?
A B
Adversary

Security Goals(CIA)
• Confidentiality :-
– The protection of data from unauthorized disclosure.
• Integrity:-
– The assurance that data received are exactly as sent by an authorized entity
(i.e., contain no modification, insertion, deletion or replay).
• Availability
– The information created and stored by an organization needs to be available
to authorized entities

Attacks
• Security attack: Any action that compromises the security Goals.
• The three goals of security confidentiality, integrity, and availability can be
threatened by security attacks.
• Attacks Threatening Confidentiality:-
A B
C

Attacks Threatening Confidentiality:-
• Snooping - unauthorized access to or interception of data.
o For example, if you login to a website that uses no encryption, your username and password can
be sniffed off the network by someone who can capture the network traffic between you and the
web site.
• Traffic Analysis- monitoring online traffic.

Attacks Threatening Integrity.
• Modification means that the attacker intercepts the message and changes it.
• An example is the man-in-the-middle attack, in which an intruder reads messages from the
sender and sends (possibly modified) versions to the recipient,
• Masquerading or spoofing happens when the attacker impersonates somebody
else.
• Replaying means the attacker obtains a copy of a message sent by a user and later
tries to replay it.
• Repudiation means that sender of the message might later deny that she has sent
the message; the receiver of the message might later deny that he has received the
message

Attacks Threatening Availability
• Attacks Denial of service (DoS) is a very common attack. It may slow down or
totally interrupt the service of a system
A B
C

• Passive attack: The goal of the opponent is to obtain information that is being
transmitted.
• Active attack :Involve some modification of the data stream or the creation of a
false stream
Passive versus Active Attacks [Forouzan]

Cryptanalysis
objective to recover key not just message
• general approaches:
– cryptanalytic attack
– brute-force attack
• if either succeed all key use compromised

Kerckhoff’s Principle [Forouzan]
Based on Kerckhoff’s principle, one should always assume that
the adversary, Eve, knows the encryption/decryption algorithm.
The resistance of the cipher to attack must be based only on the
secrecy of the key.

Cryptanalytic Attacks
 ciphertext only
 only know algorithm & ciphertext, is statistical, know or can identify
plaintext
 known plaintext
 know/suspect plaintext & ciphertext
 chosen plaintext
 select plaintext and obtain ciphertext
 chosen ciphertext
 select ciphertext and obtain plaintext

Brute-force attack
• The attacker tries every possible key on a piece of
ciphper text until an intelligent translation into
plaintext is obtained. On average half of all possible
keys must be tried

The OSI Security Architecture [William Stalling]
• ITU-T provides some security services and some mechanisms to achieve security
goals services. Security services and mechanisms are closely related because a
mechanism or combination of mechanisms are used to provide a service..
• Security service: A processing or communication service that enhances the security
of the data processing systems and the information transfers of an organization.
• Security mechanism: A process (or a device incorporating such a process) that is
designed to detect, prevent, or recover from a security attack.
– Methods or techniques to achieve security services.

Mechanisms[William Stalling]

About Subject
• In this subject you will learn different security
mechanism/techniques to achieve security goals and services.
• There are many cryptanalytic techniques.

1.22
Encipher Techniques
• The actual implementation of security goals needs some techniques. Two
techniques are prevalent today: cryptography and steganography.
• Cryptography :
o Cryptography, a word with Greek origins, means “secret writing.” However,
we use the term to refer to the science and art of transforming messages to
make them secure and immune to attacks.
• Steganography
o The word steganography, with origin in Greek, means “covered/Hide
writing,” in contrast with cryptography, which means “secret writing.”

Cryptography Characteristics
• can characterize cryptographic system by:
– type of encryption operations used
• substitution
• transposition
• product
– number of keys used
• single-key or private
• two-key or public
– way in which plaintext is processed
• block
• stream

THE REST OF THE BOOK
The rest of this book is divided into four parts.
Part One: Symmetric-Key Enciphermen
Part Two: Asymmetric-Key Encipherment
Part Three: Integrity, Authentication, and Key Management
Part Four: Network Security
