The document discusses public key cryptography and the RSA algorithm. It explains that RSA works by using a public/private key pair, where the public key is used to encrypt messages and the private key is used to decrypt them. Finding the private key from only knowing the public key is computationally infeasible if large prime numbers are used. RSA is widely used in applications like HTTPS, PGP, and DNSSEC to provide encryption, authentication and digital signatures.
Monero is a cryptocurrency that uses ring signatures to obscure the origin of transactions. It uses twisted Edwards curves to implement elliptic curve cryptography. Ring signatures allow multiple people to sign a transaction at once, making it difficult to determine the true signer. Monero implements ring signatures and uses the Ed25519 elliptic curve for its digital signatures.
A Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) system provides a logical abstraction of shared memory built using interconnected nodes with distributed physical memories. There are hardware, software, and hybrid DSM approaches. DSM offers simple abstraction, improved portability, potential performance gains, large unified memory space, and better performance than message passing in some applications. Consistency protocols ensure shared data coherency across distributed memories according to the memory consistency model.
RSA is a public-key cryptosystem that uses both public and private keys for encryption and decryption. It was the first practical implementation of such a cryptosystem. The algorithm involves four main steps: 1) generation of the public and private keys, 2) encryption of messages using the public key, 3) decryption of encrypted messages using the private key, and 4) potential cracking of the encrypted message. It works by using two large prime numbers to generate the keys and performs exponentiation and modulo operations on messages to encrypt and decrypt them. There were some drawbacks to the original RSA algorithm related to redundant calculations and representing letters numerically that opened it up to easier hacking. Enhancements to RSA improved it by choosing

Clock synchronization in distributed systemSunita Sahu
This document discusses several techniques for clock synchronization in distributed systems:
1. Time stamping events and messages with logical clocks to determine partial ordering without a global clock. Logical clocks assign monotonically increasing sequence numbers.
2. Clock synchronization algorithms like NTP that regularly adjust system clocks across the network to synchronize with a time server. NTP uses averaging to account for network delays.
3. Lamport's logical clocks algorithm that defines "happened before" relations and increments clocks between events to synchronize logical clocks across processes.

The document describes routing algorithms used in computer networks. It discusses two main types of routing algorithms: link-state algorithms and distance-vector algorithms. Link-state algorithms use a complete map of the entire network topology to calculate the shortest paths between all nodes, while distance-vector algorithms use an iterative process where each router shares routing information with neighbors to determine the shortest paths. The document then provides examples of how Dijkstra's algorithm, a link-state algorithm, and the Bellman-Ford distance-vector algorithm work to calculate the optimal paths through a sample network.

Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) was developed by NIST and NSA to hash messages into fixed-length message digests. SHA has multiple versions including SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3. SHA-1 produces a 160-bit message digest and works by padding the input message, appending the length, dividing into blocks, initializing variables, and processing blocks through 80 rounds of operations to output the digest. SHA-512 is closely modeled after SHA-1 but produces a 512-bit digest and uses 1024-bit blocks.

Elliptic Curve Cryptography was presented by Ajithkumar Vyasarao. He began with an introduction to ECC, noting its advantages over RSA like smaller key sizes providing equal security. He described how ECC works using elliptic curves over real numbers and finite fields. He demonstrated point addition and scalar multiplication on curves. ECC can be used for applications like smart cards and mobile devices. For key exchange, Alice and Bob can agree on a starting point and generate secret keys by multiplying a private value with the shared point. ECC provides security through the difficulty of solving the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem.

Dijkstra's algorithm is used to find the shortest paths from a source node to all other nodes in a network. It works by marking all nodes as tentative with initial distances from the source set to 0 and others to infinity. It then extracts the closest node, adds it to the shortest path tree, and relaxes distances of its neighbors. This process repeats until all nodes are processed. When applied to the example network, Dijkstra's algorithm finds the shortest path from node A to all others to be A-B=4, A-C=6, A-D=8, A-E=7, A-F=7, A-G=7, and A-H=9.
Digital signatures provide authentication of digital messages or documents. There are three main algorithms involved: hashing, signature generation, and signature verification. Common digital signature schemes include ElGamal, Schnorr, and the Digital Signature Standard (DSS). The DSS is based on ElGamal and Schnorr schemes. It uses smaller signatures than ElGamal by employing two moduli, one smaller than the other. Digital signatures are widely used to provide authentication in protocols like IPSec, SSL/TLS, and S/MIME.
Security Hash Algorithm (SHA) was developed in 1993 by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and National Security Agency (NSA).

• Hashing function is one of the most commonly used encryption methods. A hash is a special mathematical function that performs one-way encryption.
• SHA-l is a revised version of SHA designed by NIST and was published as a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS).
• Like MD5, SHA-l processes input data in 512-bit blocks.
• SHA-l generates a 160-bit message digest. Whereas MD5 generated message digest of 128 bits.
• The procedure is used to send a non secret but signed message from sender to receiver. In such a case following steps are followed:
1. Sender feeds a plaintext message into SHA-l algorithm and obtains a 160-bit SHA-l hash.
2. Sender then signs the hash with his RSA private key and sends both the plaintext message and the signed hash to the receiver.
3. After receiving the message, the receiver computes the SHA-l hash himself and also applies the sender's public key to the signed hash to obtain the original hash H.

Controller encryption using RSA public-key encryption scheme (Asian Control C...Kiminao Kogiso
The document summarizes research on encrypting controllers using RSA public-key cryptography. It presents:
1) The problem of encrypting control signals and parameters to conceal a system's dynamics from attackers.
2) A proposed encrypted controller that calculates encrypted control signals directly from encrypted feedback and reference using encrypted parameters and the homomorphic properties of RSA encryption.

The document discusses various topics related to user security in Linux systems. It covers selecting strong passwords, managing passwords using tools like passwd and PAM, using utilities like sudo and vlock to control access, and seeing who is logged into the system. It emphasizes the importance of password security and provides tips for creating secure passwords.
PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) provides a common interface for authentication that allows system administrators to use a single authentication method across multiple applications and services. It implements a modular framework that applications can link to for authentication, with modules that handle authentication, account management, session management, and password management. PAM configurations specify stacks of modules that will be used in a given order for each management group for a service.
Public-key cryptography uses message authentication codes (MACs) and digital signatures to verify the authenticity and integrity of messages. MACs are calculated using a secret key shared between the sender and receiver. Digital signatures are generated using the sender's private key and can be verified by the receiver using the sender's public key. Common MAC algorithms include HMAC, which uses a cryptographic hash function combined with a secret key. Asymmetric encryption algorithms like RSA enable confidential communication by encrypting messages with the public key while only the holder of the private key can decrypt.
This document discusses running a local copy of the DNS root zone on resolvers to provide additional resiliency against DDoS attacks and decrease query response times. It presents three options: running the root zone on the resolver without DNSSEC validation; running it with DNSSEC validation but requiring the use of views; and running authoritative nameservers off the resolver to serve the root zone, which is the recommended approach. Maintaining a local root copy could improve resilience but also introduces complexity, so careful consideration is required before implementation.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Encryption obscures information to authorize access while hiding it from others. Private key encryption uses a shared key while public key encryption uses separate keys for encryption and decryption. Digital signatures authenticate information through encryption with a private key. Key management creates, distributes, certifies, protects, and revokes keys, while hierarchical and web of trust models establish trust in encryption systems.
Using ~300 Billion DNS Queries to Analyse the TLD Name Collision ProblemAPNIC
This document summarizes a study analyzing over 300 billion DNS queries to understand the problem of name collisions with new generic top-level domains (gTLDs). The study found that:
1) Around 12% of root server DNS traffic consisted of queries with the RD bit set to 1, which is more than expected but does not appear to be causing major problems.
2) Traffic for most new gTLDs with the RD bit set was 4 orders of magnitude lower than for existing TLDs, suggesting name collisions may not be a large problem.
3) Some isolated examples of misconfigured devices and applications accounted for abnormal traffic levels for a few new gTLDs, but overall the analysis

This document summarizes a joint research project between JPRS and several Japanese ISPs to enhance DNS resiliency. The goals were to install DNS servers in multiple regions of Japan to distribute query load and ensure continuity of DNS services during natural disasters. ISPs configured their networks to direct queries to local DNS nodes hosted by JPRS within their networks. Evaluation found queries shifted towards local nodes, response times improved, and Internet services remained available within ISP networks even when other DNS sites were unreachable, demonstrating increased DNS resiliency.
Public key cryptography uses key pairs - a public key and a private key - to encrypt and decrypt messages. The public key can be shared widely, while the private key is kept secret. This allows users to securely share encrypted messages without having to first share secret keys. Common applications of public key cryptography include public key encryption and digital signatures.
Practical Cryptography and Security Concepts for DevelopersGökhan Şengün
This document summarizes Gökhan Şengün's presentation on practical cryptography and security concepts for developers at DEVOPS Zirvesi 2017. The presentation covers the history of cryptography, cryptographic hash functions, secure storage of secrets, symmetric and asymmetric encryption, public key infrastructure (PKI) and digital signatures, and techniques and use cases including HTTPS and SSL/TLS handshakes. The presentation aims to help developers understand basic cryptography concepts and how they apply to building secure systems.
This document provides an overview of key concepts in DNSSEC including public/private keys, message digests or hashes, and digital signatures. It explains that public/private key pairs are used, where the private key is kept secret and the public key can be freely distributed. It also describes how one-way hashing functions work to generate fixed-length hashes from variable-length data, and how digital signatures are created by encrypting a message hash with a private key. These three concepts of public/private keys, hashes, and digital signatures form the basis of cryptographic techniques used in DNSSEC.
IRJET- Comparative Analysis of Encryption TechniquesIRJET Journal
The document compares and analyzes different encryption techniques. It summarizes the Data Encryption Standard (DES), Triple DES (3DES), and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). DES uses a 56-bit key and 64-bit block size, while 3DES extends DES to 168 bits for improved security. AES was developed later to replace DES and uses 128, 192, or 256 bit keys and block sizes. The document concludes that AES is more secure than DES and 3DES based on its longer key lengths and that it is the symmetric encryption algorithm of choice for future applications.

Cryptography involves encrypting and decrypting information using algorithms and keys. There are two main types: public key cryptography uses different keys for encryption and decryption while private (symmetric) key cryptography uses the same key. Digital signatures provide authentication by encrypting a hash of a message with a private key so receivers can validate the sender. Key management and distribution present challenges to ensure secrecy and prevent unauthorized access.

Implementing a Secure and Effective PKI on Windows Server 2012 R2Frank Lesniak
The infrastructure that deploys and manages digital certificates, known as a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), is often the center for cryptography in an organization. It is also in service for 10+ years, which means that one must carefully consider design options before implementation. In this presentation, Frank will cover modern standards for cryptography, how they apply to a Microsoft PKI infrastructure, and share recommendations based on he has seen in the field.
The document provides an overview of public key infrastructure (PKI) and how it works. It explains foundational concepts like encryption, authentication, and digital signatures. It then discusses how PKI enables the use of public/private key cryptography to securely distribute keys and authenticate parties through the use of digital certificates verified by a certificate authority. The document covers common algorithms like RSA, ECC, AES, and hash functions and provides recommendations around implementing and securing a PKI.
Cryptography is the process of encrypting and decrypting data to protect it from unauthorized access. The document discusses the history of cryptography from early substitution ciphers to modern algorithms like AES. It describes symmetric cryptography which uses a single key and asymmetric cryptography which uses public/private key pairs. Popular algorithms for encryption, digital signatures, and hashing are also outlined along with attacks that can compromise cryptosystems like brute force and man-in-the-middle attacks.
The document describes the history and types of cryptography. It discusses symmetric and asymmetric cryptography algorithms such as DES, AES, RSA, and Diffie-Hellman. It also covers cryptanalysis techniques like brute force attacks and digital signatures. Public key infrastructure (PKI) uses digital certificates to authenticate users, while protocols like PGP, S/MIME, and PEM can encrypt email messages.
The document provides an overview of encryption:
1) Encryption is the process of encoding information to prevent unauthorized access. It involves transforming plain text into ciphertext using cryptographic algorithms and encryption keys.
2) There are two main types of encryption - symmetric which uses the same key for encryption and decryption, and asymmetric which uses a public/private key pair.
3) When implementing encryption, organizations must determine what data needs protection, how it will be encrypted both in transit and at rest, and how encryption keys will be managed. Failure to properly manage keys could result in permanent data loss.
Phreebird Suite 1.0: Introducing the Domain Key InfrastructureDan Kaminsky
Phreebird Suite 1.0 introduces the Domain Key Infrastructure through DNSSEC to enable easy and secure authentication across domains. It includes Phreebird, a zero configuration DNSSEC server that can sign responses in real-time without requiring offline key generation or zone signing. It also includes Phreeload, which integrates DNSSEC validation into OpenSSL using LD_PRELOAD to enable end-to-end security for applications. The suite aims to make DNSSEC easy to deploy and leverage its authentication capabilities to enable new secure cross-domain applications.
This document provides an introduction to DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) in 3 parts:
1. It explains the purpose of DNSSEC is to address vulnerabilities in the DNS like cache poisoning and lack of data integrity by cryptographically signing DNS records.
2. It discusses some of the operational implications of DNSSEC like increased response sizes requiring EDNS0, using multiple keys (KSK and ZSK), and developing a DNSSEC Policy and Practice Statement.
3. It provides resources for further learning including open source DNSSEC software, mailing lists, and examples of deployed DNSSEC at the root zone and in some top-level domains.

Why use Cryptography?
Public key cryptography can be used in a number of ways:
– protecting a session from third party eavesdroppers
Encryption using a session key that is known only to the parties to the conversation
– protecting a session from interference
Injection (or removal) of part of a session can only be undertaken by the parties to the
session
– authentication and non-repudiation
What is received is exactly what the other party sent, and cannot be repudiated
6. 2017#apricot2017
The Asymmetric Crypto Challenge
Devise an algorithm (encoding) and
keys such that:
– Messages encoded with one key can
only be decoded with the other key
– Knowledge of the value of one key does
not infer the value of the other key
http://bit.ly/2iQ0oi7
8. 2017#apricot2017
Why does RSA work?
Encryption using the public key consists of taking a message x and
raising it to the power e
Crypt = xe
Decryption consists of taking an encrypted message and raising it
to the power d, mod n
Decrypt = Cryptd mod n = (xe)d mod n = xed mod n = x
Similarly, one can encrypt a message with the private key (xd ) and
decrypt with the public key ((xd ) e mod n = x)
9. 2017#apricot2017
Why does RSA work?
If you know e and n (the public key) then how can you calculate d (the
private key)?
Now d.e = 1 mod ⏀(n)
If you know ⏀(n) you can calculate d
But ⏀(n) = (p-1).(q-1), where p.q = n
i.e. you need to find the prime factors of n, a large composite number that
is the product of two primes
10. 2017#apricot2017
The ‘core’ of RSA
(xe)d ≡ x mod n
As long as d and n are relatively large, and n is
the product of two large prime numbers, then
finding the value of d when you already know
the values of e and n is computationally
expensive

13. 2017#apricot2017
Why is this important?
Because much of the foundation of
Internet Security rests upon this
relationship
14. 2017#apricot2017
How big can RSA go?
In theory we can push this to very large sizes of n to generate RSA
private keys
The algorithm is not itself arbitrarily limited in terms of key size
But as the numbers get larger there is higher computation overhead to
generate and manipulate these keys
So we want it large enough not to be ‘broken’ by most forms of brute
force, but small enough to be computed by our everyday processors
15. 2017#apricot2017
How big should RSA go?
You need to consider time as well
How long do you want or need your secret to remain a secret?
Because if the attacker has enough time a brute force attack may work
Also time is on the attacker’s side: keys that are considered robust today may not
be as robust tomorrow, assuming that feasible compute capabilities rise over time
So you want to pick a key size that is resistant to attempts to brute force the
key both today and tomorrow
16. 2017#apricot2017
Bigger and bigger?
Well, no – the larger the key sizes compared to compute
capabilities means:
– Longer times to generate keys
– Longer times to encrypt (and decrypt) messages
– More space to represent the key values
So you need to use big keys, but no bigger then necessary!

The Key to My Bank
Yes, the fine print says my
bank is using a 2048-bit RSA
Public key to as the foundation
of the session key used to
secure access to my bank
22. 2017#apricot2017
I trust its my bank because …
• The server has demonstrated knowledge of a private key that
is associated with a public key that I have been provided
• The public key has been associated with a particular domain
name by a Certificate Authority
• My browser trusts that this Certificate Authority never lies
about such associations
• So if the server can demonstrate that it has the private key
then my browser will believe that its my bank!

DNSSEC and the DNS
Another major application for crypto in the Internet is securing
the DNS
You want to be assured that the response you get to from DNS
query is:
– Authentic
– Complete
– Current

RSA signed response – 937 octets
30. 2017#apricot2017
Not every application can tolerate
large keys…
The DNS and DNSSEC is a problem here:
– including the digital signature increases the response size
– Large responses generate packet fragmentation
– Fragments are commonly filtered by firewalls
– IPv6 Fragments required IPv6 Extension Headers, and
packets with Extension Headers are commonly filtered
– DNS over TCP imposes server load
– DNS over TCP is commonly filtered
If you can avoid large responses in the DNS, you should!
31. 2017#apricot2017
The search for small keys
• Large keys and the DNS don’t mix very well:
– We try and make UDP fragmentation work reliably (for once!)
– Or we switch the DNS to use TCP
– Or we look for smaller keys
37. 2017#apricot2017
ECDSA and OpenSSL
• OpenSSL added ECDSA support as from 0.9.8 (2005)
• Other bundles and specific builds added ECDSA support later
• But deployed systems often lag behind the latest bundles, and
therefore still do not include ECC support in their running
configuration
39. 2017#apricot2017
Do folk use ECDSA for public keys?

So lets use ECDSA for DNSSEC
Or maybe we should look before we leap...
– Is ECDSA a “well supported” crypto protocol? *
– If you signed using ECDSA would resolvers
validate the signature?
It’s not that crypto libraries deliberately exclude ECDSA support these days.
The more likely issue appears to be the operational practic es of some ISPs
who use crufty old software sets to support DNS resolvers which are now
running old libraries that predate the incorporation of ECDSA into Open SSL
*
