Presentation Transcript

  1. Cryptography (Cryptography)

  2. the basics • cryptography deals with techniques for secure communication in the presence of third parties (adversaries). • modern cryptography uses • mathematics, computer science, • and electrical engineering • the word “cryptography” originates • from two Greek words: • “hidden/secret” and “writing”

  3. cipher systems • a cipher is the algorithm that transforms information • symmetric vs. asymmetric serpent

  4. the olden days • cryptography was basically encryption • information -> nonsense -> information • whoever wrote the message provided the recipient with the decoding key

  5. exhaustive key search on a Caesar Cipher code = XMZVH

  6. modular arithmetic in a Caesar Cipher, a shift of 26 is the same as a shift of 0. for example: 37 = 11(mod 26)

  7. we want a large number of keys (but having lots of keys is no guarantee of a strong system) number of potential keys = number of ways 26 letters can be arranged 26! = 403,291,461,126,605,635,584,000,000

  8. a large number of keys does not guarantee that a cipher is unbreakable German Armed Forces, WWII Enigma Machine Mary, Queen of Scots 1542 - 1587

  9. Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange

  10. asymmetric cipher systems and more modular arithmetic

  11. the primitive root of 17 is a number that has no factors in common (3)
