Ralph Merkle and Martin Hellman in 1978.Ralph Merkle and Martin Hellman in 1978.

 What is a knapsack problem?What is a knapsack problem?
 Given N = {17, 38, 73, 4, 11, 1}
 Find a subset of N whose elements adds up to 53.
 Is it 73? No!
 How about 17? If 17, the balance would be 36 and therefore it
cannot be 17.
 38? 53 - 38 = 15 = 4 + 11.
 Therefore {38, 11, 4} is the solution
 Generally to solve it, what it needs is an NP-Complete
complexity, exponential time behavior in term off the size
of the problem, in this case the number of integers.
 needs to backtrack, discard etc….

 The scheme is to encode a binary message as a
solution to a knapsack problem, reducing the
ciphertext to the target sum obtained by adding terms
corresponding to 1s in the plaintext.

 Target Sum = 1 + 5 + 43 2 + 5 + 20
= 49 = 27

Superincreasing Knapsack
 When the elements of the set are arranged strictly such
that
ak > Σ aj from j = 1 to k-1
the knapsack problem becomes simpler This kind of
arrangement are called superincreasing.
 Example: Set of {1, 4, 11, 17, 38, 73}
 Because the elements are ordered, and an element ai is
always > sum of all the lower elements, it is easy to
decide whether to discard or to include.

Encryption Technique
 It is a public-key cryptosystem:
 public key : is the set of integers of a knapsack problem
(non-superincreasing knapsack – NSI)
 private key : is the corresponding superincreasing
knapsack - SI
 Genius of Merkle Hellman was to discover a means
to transform an SI knapsack to NSI knapsack.
 The transformation is not obvious but reversible.

Transforming SI (Superincreasing) to NSI (Non – Superincreasing)
 Let s = {s1, s2, s3, ……sM}. Choose a multiplier w and a
modulus n such that
n > sM
(w, n) is relatively prime (no common factor)
 Then h = {h1, h2, h3, ……hM} such that
h1 = w * s1 mod n, h2 = w * s2 mod n, and so on.

Example of transforming SI to NSIExample of transforming SI to NSI
Suppose s = {1, 2, 4, 9} and suppose w = 15
and n = 17
1 * 15 mod 17 = 15
2 * 15 mod 17 = 13
4 * 15 mod 17 = 9
9 * 15 mod 17 = 16
So H = {15, 13, 9, 16} and this is NSI.

Example (Encrypt Process)
 Given S = {1, 2, 4, 9} (private key) and H = {15,
13, 9, 16} (public key) with w = 15, n = 17 and m
= 4 (divide the block into m bits). Message is
0100 1011 1010 0101.
 With H = {15, 13, 9, 16} the message is encoded
as follows:
[0 1 0 0] * [15, 13, 9, 16] = 13
[1 0 1 1] * [15, 13, 9, 16] = 40
[1 0 1 0] * [15, 13, 9, 16] = 24
[0 1 0 1] * [15, 13, 9, 16] = 29

Example Decryption Process
 To decrypt, we first need to find the inverse of
15 mod 17 and this is equal to 8. Multiply all the
encrypted message C with 8 mod 17 to get the
sum si.
 Note :
S = {1, 2, 4, 9} (private key)
13 * 8 mod 17 = 2 = [0100]
40 * 8 mod 17 = 14 = [1011]
24 * 8 mod 17 = 5 = [1010]
29 * 8 mod 17 = 11 = [0101]
 The recovered message is 0100101110100101

Inverse 15 mod 17Inverse 15 mod 17
15 * y mod 17 = 115 * y mod 17 = 1
15 * 1 mod 17 = 15 mod 17 = 1515 * 1 mod 17 = 15 mod 17 = 15

15 * 7 mod 17 = 105 mod 17 = 315 * 7 mod 17 = 105 mod 17 = 3
15 * 8 mod 17 = 120 mod 17 = 115 * 8 mod 17 = 120 mod 17 = 1

The RSA algorithm is named after Ron
Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman
who invented it in 1977.
The RSA algorithm can be used for both
public key encryption and digital
signatures (authentication).

Decryption processDecryption process
Recipient B does the following:
Uses his private key (n, d) to compute
m = cd
mod n
Extracts the plaintext from the integer
representative m.

Example :
Key Generation:
 Let p = 11, q = 13, so
n = p*q = 143
(ΦΦ) = (p-1)(q-1) = 10 * 12 = 120
 Choose e relatively prime to (ΦΦ), say e = 11
e * d mod ΦΦ = 1
11 * d mod 120 = 1
Therefore d = 11
 Now we know : Public key ( e = 11, n = 143)
: Private key (d = 11)
p & q – prime number
n = p * q
(ΦΦ) = (p-1) (q-1)
e, n public key
d private key

Example :
Encryption process:
 If plaintext m = 7,
C = me
mod n
711 mod 143 = 106
Decryption process:
 To decrypt, since c = 106
 m = cd
mod n = 10611
mod 143 = 7

How do you calculate 711
mod 143 = 106??
711
mod 143 =

= 113 * 113 * 49 * 7 (mod 143)
= 12769 * 343 (mod 143)
= 42 * 57 (mod 143)
= 2394 mod 143
= 106

DES (Data Encryption Standard)DES (Data Encryption Standard)
 Invented by a team (led by Walter Tuchman)
based on a concept originated by Horst Feistel
of IBM and known as Lucifer
 Its proper name is DEA (Data Encryption
Algorithm) in US and DEA1 in other countries.
 Mandated for encryption by all federal agencies
for sensitive data.
 When used for communication, both sender and
receiver must know the same secret key, which
can be used to encrypt and decrypt the message

DES CharacteristicsDES Characteristics
 Symmetric Encryption
 Combination of substitution technique and transposition
technique.
 Provide confusion by systematically substituting some
bit patterns for others.
 Provide diffusion by reordering bits.
 Uses only standard arithmetic and logical operations.
 Plaintext is encrypted in blocks of 64 bits
 56-bit key - Choosing 56 bits also allowed DES to be
implemented on a single chip
 64-bit key-block (8 parity bits embedded)

 Refer to your extra notes !Refer to your extra notes !

Decryption
One advantage of DES is that decryption
is essentially the same as encryption.
The key schedule is reversed.
This is due to the fact that DES is based
on a Feistel network.

DES Weak Keys
• Because of the way the key is modified at each round to get the
sub-key, certain keys are weak keys.
• Weak keys are those which are unmodified at each round, because
they contain all 1’s or all 0’s in each half of the key.
Weak Key 64-bit value Actual subkey values after
(with parity) initial permutation (2x28)
0101 0101 0101 0101 00000000 00000000

E0E0 E0E0 E0E0 E0E0 FFFFFFFF 00000000
FEFE FEFE FEFE FEFE FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF

DES Semi-Weak Keys
• Some pairs of keys will encrypt a given plaintext to the same
ciphertext.
• This is because they yeild only two different subkeys, each of
which is used 8 times in the algorithm.
• These pairs are known as semi-weak keys

01E0 01E0 01E0 01E0 E001 E001 E001 E001

Security of DES
• There have been two major points of criticism about DES :
– key size is too small,
– the S-boxes contained secret design criteria.
• With advances in the field of cryptanalysis and the huge
increase in available computing power, DES is no longer
considered to be very secure.

Triple-DES Algorithm
• Triple-DES is a secure variation of the Data Encryption Standard
first developed by IBM, and later in 1977 adopted by the
U.S.government.
• Triple-DES is a 192 bit (24 characters) cipher that uses three
separate 64 bit keys and encrypts data using the DES algorithm
three times. ABI- CODER uses a variation that takes a single 192
bit (24 characters) key and then;
– encrypts data using first 64 bits (8 characters)
– decrypts same data using second 64 bits (8 characters)
– encrypts same data using the last 64 bits (8 characters)
