5. Security mechanisms usually involve more than a particular algorithm or protocol. They
usually also require that participants be in possession of some secret information (e.g., an
encryption key), which raises questions about the creation, distribution, and protection of
that secret information. There is also a reliance on communications protocols whose
behavior may complicate the task of developing the security mechanism.

UNIT III
MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION

3.1 MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION AND HASH FUNCTIONS

V Message authentication is a mechanism or service used to verify the integrity of
a message. Message authentication assures that data received are exactly as
sent by (i.e., contain no modification, insertion, deletion, or replay) and that the
purported identity of the sender is valid.
V Symmetric encryption provides authentication among those who share the secret
key. Encryption of a message by a sender's private key also provides a form of
authentication.
V The two most common cryptographic techniques for message authentication are
a message authentication code (MAC) and a secure hash function.
V A MAC is an algorithm that requires the use of a secret key. A MAC takes a
variable-length message and a secret key as input and produces an
authentication code. A recipient in possession of the secret key can generate an
authentication code to verify the integrity of the message.
V A hash function maps a variable-length message into a fixed length hash value,
or message digest. For message authentication, a secure hash function must be
combined in some fashion with a secret key.

A.1 AUTHENTICATION REQUIREMENTS
During communications across a network, the following attacks can be identified:
Disclosure: Release of message contents to any person or process not possessing
the appropriate cryptographic key.
Traffic analysis: Discovery of the pattern of traffic between parties. In a
connection-oriented application, the frequency and duration of connections could
be determined. In either a connection-oriented or connectionless environment,
the number and length of messages between parties could be determined.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.2

Masquerade: Insertion of messages into the network from a fraudulent source.
This includes the creation of messages by an opponent that are purported to
come from an authorized entity. Also included are fraudulent acknowledgments
of message receipt or nonreceipt by someone other than the message recipient.
Content modification: Changes to the contents of a message, including
insertion, deletion, transposition, and modification.
Sequence modification: Any modification to a sequence of messages between
parties, including insertion, deletion, and reordering.
Timing modification: Delay or replay of messages. In a connection-oriented
application, an entire session or sequence of messages could be a replay of some
previous valid session, or individual messages in the sequence could be delayed
or replayed. In a connectionless application, an individual message (e.g.,
datagram) could be delayed or replayed.
Source repudiation: Denial of transmission of message by source.
Destination repudiation: Denial of receipt of message by destination.

For 1 and 2 Message Confidentality
3,4,5,6 Message Authentication
7 Digital Signatures
8 Digital Signature with protocol designed to counter the attack

A.2 AUTHENTICATION FUNCTIONS
Any message authentication or digital signature mechanism has two levels of
functionality.

At Lower Level -- There must be some sort of function that produces an authenticator:
a value to be used to authenticate a message.

At Higher Level -- This lower-level function is then used as a primitive in a higher-
level authentication protocol that enables a receiver to verify the authenticity of a
message.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.3

The types of functions that may be used to produce an authenticator, grouped
into three classes, as follows:
Message encryption: The ciphertext of the entire message serves as its
authenticator
Message authentication code (MAC): A function of the message and a secret
key that produces a fixed-length value that serves as the authenticator
Hash function: A function that maps a message of any length into a fixed-
length hash value, which serves as the authenticator

MESSAGE ENCRYPTION
Message encryption by itself can provide a measure of authentication. The
analysis differs for symmetric and public-key encryption schemes.

Symmetric Encryption
A message M transmitted from source A to destination B is encrypted using a
secret key K shared by A and B. If no other party knows the key, then confidentiality is
provided: No other party can recover the plaintext of the message.
In addition, we may say that B is assured that the message was generated by A.
Why? The message must have come from A because A is the only other party that
possesses K and therefore the only other party with the information necessary to
construct ciphertext that can be decrypted with K.
Furthermore, if M is recovered, B knows that none of the bits of M have been
altered, because an opponent that does not know K would not know how to alter bits in
the ciphertext to produce desired changes in the plaintext.
So we may say that symmetric encryption provides authentication as well as
confidentiality. However, this flat statement needs to be qualified. Consider exactly
what is happening at B. Given a decryption function D and a secret key K, the
destination will accept any input X and produce output Y = D(K, X).
If X is the ciphertext of a legitimate message M produced by the corresponding
encryption function, then Y is some plaintext message M. Otherwise, Y will likely be a
meaningless sequence of bits.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.4

There may need to be some automated means of determining at B whether Y is
legitimate plaintext and therefore must have come from A.
The implications of the line of reasoning in the preceding paragraph are
profound from the point of view of authentication.
Suppose the message M can be any arbitrary bit pattern. In that case, there is no
way to determine automatically, at the destination, whether an incoming message is
the ciphertext of a legitimate message. This conclusion is incontrovertible: If M can be
any bit pattern, then regardless of the value of X, the value Y = D(K, X) is some bit
pattern and therefore must be accepted as authentic plaintext.

(c) Public-key encryption: authentication and signature

Provides authentication and signature because of PRa
(d) Public-key encryption: confidentiality, authentication, and signature
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.6

It may be difficult to determine automatically if incoming ciphertext decrypts to
intelligible plaintext. If the plaintext is, say, a binary object file or digitized X-rays,
determination of properly formed and therefore authentic plaintext may be difficult.
Thus, an opponent could achieve a certain level of disruption simply by issuing
messages with random content purporting to come from a legitimate user.
One solution to this problem is to force the plaintext to have some structure that
is easily recognized but that cannot be replicated without recourse to the encryption
function.
Note that the order in which the FCS and encryption functions are performed is
critical. The sequence illustrated in below Figure as internal error control, which the
authors contrast with external error control.
With internal error control, authentication is provided because an opponent
would have difficulty generating ciphertext that, when decrypted, would have valid
error control bits. If instead the FCS is the outer code, an opponent can construct
messages with valid error-control codes. Although the opponent cannot know what the
decrypted plaintext will be, he or she can still hope to create confusion and disrupt
operations.



UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.7

Public-Key Encryption
The straightforward use of public-key encryption provides confidentiality but not
authentication. The source (A) uses the public key PUb of the destination (B) to encrypt
M. Because only B has the corresponding private key PRb, only B can decrypt the
message. This scheme provides no authentication because any opponent could also use
B's public key to encrypt a message, claiming to be A.
To provide authentication, A uses its private key to encrypt the message, and B
uses A's public key to decrypt. This provides authentication using the same type of
reasoning as in the symmetric encryption case: The message must have come from A
because A is the only party that possesses PRa and therefore the only party with the
information necessary to construct ciphertext that can be decrypted with PUa.
Again, the same reasoning as before applies: There must be some internal
structure to the plaintext so that the receiver can distinguish between well-formed
plaintext and random bits.
To provide both confidentiality and authentication, A can encrypt M first using
its private key, which provides the digital signature, and then using B's public key,
which provides confidentiality. The disadvantage of this approach is that the public-key
algorithm, which is complex, must be exercised four times rather than two in each
communication.

MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION CODE
An alternative authentication technique involves the use of a secret key to
generate a small fixed-size block of data, known as a cryptographic checksum or MAC
that is appended to the message.
This technique assumes that two communicating parties, say A and B, share a
common secret key K. When A has a message to send to B, it calculates the MAC as a
function of the message and the key: MAC = C (K, M), where




M = input message
C = MAC function
K = shared secret key
MAC = message authentication code

(c) Message authentication and confidentiality: authentication tied to

UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.9

The message plus MAC are transmitted to the intended recipient. The recipient
performs the same calculation on the received message, using the same secret key, to
generate a new MAC. The received MAC is compared to the calculated MAC.
If we assume that only the receiver and the sender know the identity of the
secret key, and if the received MAC matches the calculated MAC, then
[1] The receiver is assured that the message has not been altered. If an attacker
alters the message but does not alter the MAC, then the receiver's calculation of
the MAC will differ from the received MAC. Because the attacker is assumed not
to know the secret key, the attacker cannot alter the MAC to correspond to the
alterations in the message.
[2] The receiver is assured that the message is from the alleged sender. Because no
one else knows the secret key, no one else could prepare a message with a proper
MAC.
[3] If the message includes a sequence number (such as is used with HDLC, X.25,
and TCP), then the receiver can be assured of the proper sequence because an
attacker cannot successfully alter the sequence number.

A MAC function is similar to encryption. One difference is that the MAC
algorithm need not be reversible, as it must for decryption.
In general, the MAC function is a many-to-one function. The domain of the
function consists of messages of some arbitrary length, whereas the range consists of all
possible MACs and all possible keys.
If an n-bit MAC is used, then there are 2
n
possible MACs, whereas there are N
possible messages with N >> 2
n
. Furthermore, with a k-bit key, there are 2
k
possible
keys.

HASH FUNCTION
A variation on the message authentication code is the one-way hash function. As
with the message authentication code, a hash function accepts a variable-size message
M as input and produces a fixed-size output, referred to as a hash code H(M). Unlike a
MAC, a hash code does not use a key but is a function only of the input message.

The hash code is also referred to as a message digest or hash value.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.11


The hash code is a function of all the bits of the message and provides an error-
detection capability: A change to any bit or bits in the message results in a change to
the hash code.

Above figure illustrates a variety of ways in which a hash code can be used to
provide message authentication, as follows:
a. The message plus concatenated hash code is encrypted using symmetric
encryption. This is identical in structure to the internal error control strategy.
The same line of reasoning applies: Because only A and B share the secret key,
the message must have come from A and has not been altered. The hash code
provides the structure or redundancy required to achieve authentication.
Because encryption is applied to the entire message plus hash code,
confidentiality is also provided.

b. Only the hash code is encrypted, using symmetric encryption. This reduces the
processing burden for those applications that do not require confidentiality. Note
that the combination of hashing and encryption results in an overall function
that is, in fact, a MAC. That is, E(K, H(M)) is a function of a variable-length
message M and a secret key K, and it produces a fixed-size output that is secure
against an opponent who does not know the secret key.

c. Only the hash code is encrypted, using public-key encryption and using the
sender's private key. As with (b), this provides authentication. It also provides a
digital signature, because only the sender could have produced the encrypted
hash code. In fact, this is the essence of the digital signature technique.

d. If confidentiality as well as a digital signature is desired, then the message plus
the private-key-encrypted hash code can be encrypted using a symmetric secret
key. This is a common technique.

UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.12

e. It is possible to use a hash function but no encryption for message
authentication. The technique assumes that the two communicating parties
share a common secret value S. A computes the hash value over the
concatenation of M and S and appends the resulting hash value to M. Because B
possesses S, it can recompute the hash value to verify. Because the secret value
itself is not sent, an opponent cannot modify an intercepted message and cannot
generate a false message.

f. Confidentiality can be added to the approach of (e) by encrypting the entire
message plus the hash code.

When confidentiality is not required, methods (b) and (c) have an advantage over
those that encrypt the entire message in that less computation is required.

Nevertheless, there has been growing interest in techniques that avoid
encryption. Several reasons for this interest are pointed out in:

V Encryption software is relatively slow. Even though the amount of data to be
encrypted per message is small, there may be a steady stream of messages into
and out of a system.

V Encryption hardware costs are not negligible. Low-cost chip implementations of
DES are available, but the cost adds up if all nodes in a network must have this
capability.

V Encryption hardware is optimized toward large data sizes. For small blocks of
data, a high proportion of the time is spent in initialization/invocation overhead.

V Encryption algorithms may be covered by patents. For example, until the patent
expired, RSA was patented and had to be licensed, adding a cost.

A.3 MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION CODES
A MAC, also known as a cryptographic checksum, is generated by a function C of
the form
MAC = C(K, M)
where M is a variable-length message, K is a secret key shared only by sender and
receiver, and C(K, M) is the fixed-length authenticator.

The MAC is appended to the message at the source at a time when the message
is assumed or known to be correct. The receiver authenticates that message by
recomputing the MAC.

Requirements for MACs
When an entire message is encrypted for confidentiality, using either symmetric
or asymmetric encryption, the security of the scheme generally depends on the bit
length of the key.

In the case of a MAC, it is a many-to-one function. If confidentiality is not
employed, the opponent has access to plaintext messages and their associated MACs.

Suppose k > n; that is, suppose that the key size is greater than the MAC size.
Thus, a number of keys will produce the correct MAC and the opponent has no way of
knowing which is the correct key.
On average, a total of 2
k
/2
n
= 2
(k-n)
keys will produce a match.

Second, the opponent can concatenate the new message as follows, Consider the
following MAC algorithm. Let M = (X1||X2||...||Xm) be a message that is treated as a
concatenation of 64-bit blocks Xi. Then define
(M) = X
1
X
2
... X
m

C(K, M) = E(K, (M))
where is the exclusive-OR (XOR) operation and the encryption algorithm is DES in
electronic codebook mode. Thus, the key length is 56 bits and the MAC length is 64 bits.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.15

If an opponent observes {M||C(K, M)}, a brute-force attempt to determine K will
require at least 2
56
encryptions. But the opponent can attack the system by replacing X1
through Xm-1 with any desired values Y1 through Ym-1 and replacing Xm with Ym where
Ym is calculated as follows:
Ym = Y1 Y2 ... Ym1 (M)
The opponent can now concatenate the new message, which consists of Y1
through Ym, with the original MAC to form a message that will be accepted as authentic
by the receiver. With this tactic, any message of length 64 x (m - 1) bits can be
fraudulently inserted.

Thus, in assessing the security of a MAC function, we need to consider the types
of attacks that may be mounted against it. With that in mind, let us state the
requirements for the function.
Assume that an opponent knows the MAC function C but does not know K. Then
the MAC function should satisfy the following requirements:
i) If an opponent observes M and C(K, M), it should be computationally infeasible
for the opponent to construct a message M' such that C(K, M') = C(K, M).
ii) C(K, M) should be uniformly distributed in the sense that for randomly chosen
messages, M and M', the probability that C(K, M) = C(K, M') is 2
n
, where n is the
number of bits in the MAC.
iii) Let M' be equal to some known transformation on M. That is, M' = f(M). For
example, f may involve inverting one or more specific bits. In that case,
Pr[C(K, M) = C(K, M')] = 2
n
.

The first requirement speaks to the earlier example, in which an opponent is
able to construct a new message to match a given MAC, even though the opponent does
not know and does not learn the key.
The second requirement deals with the need to thwart a brute-force attack based
on chosen plaintext.
The final requirement dictates that the authentication algorithm should not be
weaker with respect to certain parts or bits of the message than others.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.16

Message Authentication Code Based on DES
The Data Authentication Algorithm, based on DES, has been one of the most
widely used MAC. The algorithm can be defined as using the cipher block chaining
(CBC) mode of operation of DES with an initialization vector of zero.
The data (e.g., message, record, file, or program) to be authenticated are grouped
into contiguous 64-bit blocks: D1, D2,..., DN. If necessary, the final block is padded on the
right with zeroes to form a full 64-bit block. Using the DES encryption algorithm, E,
and a secret key, K, a data authentication code (DAC) is calculated as follows:
O
1

= E(K, D
1
)
O
2

= E(K, [D
2
O
1
])
O
3

= (K, [D
3
O
2
])



O
N

= E(K, [D
N
O
N1
])
The DAC consists of either the entire block ON or the leftmost M bits of the
block, with 16 M 64.

Thangavel Murugan 3.17

A.4 HASH FUNCTIONS
A hash value h is generated by a function H of the form
h = H(M)
where M is a variable-length message and H(M) is the fixed-length hash value.
The hash value is appended to the message at the source at a time when the
message is assumed or known to be correct. The receiver authenticates that message by
recomputing the hash value. Because the hash function itself is not considered to be
secret, some means is required to protect the hash value.

REQUIREMENTS FOR A HASH FUNCTION
A hash function H must have the following properties:
V H can be applied to a block of data of any size.
V H produces a fixed-length output.
V H(x) is relatively easy to compute for any given x, making both hardware and
software implementations practical.
V For any given value h, it is computationally infeasible to find x such that H(x) = h.
This is sometimes referred to in the literature as the one-way property.
V For any given block x, it is computationally infeasible to find y x such that
H(y) = H(x). This is sometimes referred to as weak collision resistance.
V It is computationally infeasible to find any pair (x, y) such that H(x) = H(y). This is
sometimes referred to as strong collision resistance.

One-Way Property
It is easy to generate a code given a message but virtually impossible to generate
a message given a code. This property is important if the authentication technique
involves the use of a secret value.
The secret value itself is not sent; however, if the hash function is not one way,
an attacker can easily discover the secret value: If the attacker can observe or intercept
a transmission, the attacker obtains the message M and the hash code C = H(SAB||M).
The attacker then inverts the hash function to obtain SAB||M = H
1
(C). Because the
attacker now has both M and SAB||M, it is a trivial matter to recover SAB.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.18

Weak Collision Resistance
It guarantees that an alternative message hashing to the same value as a given
message cannot be found. This prevents forgery when an encrypted hash code is used.

Strong Collision Resistance
It refers to how resistant the hash function is to a type of attack known as the
birthday attack, which we examine shortly.

SIMPLE HASH FUNCTIONS
One of the simplest hash functions is the bit-by-bit exclusive-OR (XOR) of every
block. This can be expressed as follows:
Ci = bi1 bi1 ... bim
where
Ci = ith bit of the hash code, 1 i n
m = number of n-bit blocks in the input
bij = ith bit in jth block

= XOR operation

This operation produces a simple parity for each bit position and is known as a
longitudinal redundancy check. It is reasonably effective for random data as a data
integrity check. Each n-bit hash value is equally likely. Thus, the probability that a
data error will result in an unchanged hash value is 2
n
. With more predictably
formatted data, the function is less effective.
For example, in most normal text files, the high-order bit of each octet is always
zero. So if a 128-bit hash value is used, instead of an effectiveness of 2
128
, the hash
function on this type of data has an effectiveness of 2
112
.

Related XOR
A simple way to improve matters is to perform a one-bit circular shift, or
rotation, on the hash value after each block is processed.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.19

The procedure can be summarized as follows:
1) Initially set the n-bit hash value to zero.
2) Process each successive n-bit block of data as follows:
a. Rotate the current hash value to the left by one bit.
b. XOR the block into the hash value.
This has the effect of "randomizing" the input more completely and overcoming any
regularities that appear in the input.

Use CBC for Hash Functions
A technique originally proposed by the National Bureau of Standards used the
simple XOR applied to 64-bit blocks of the message and then an encryption of the entire
message that used the cipher block chaining (CBC) mode.
We can define the scheme as follows: Given a message consisting of a sequence of
64-bit blocks X1, X2,..., XN, define the hash code C as the block-by-block XOR of all
blocks and append the hash code as the final block:
C = XN+1 = X1 X2 ... XN
Next, encrypt the entire message plus hash code, using CBC mode to produce the
encrypted message Y1, Y2,..., YN+1.

Birthday Attacks
Suppose that a 64-bit hash code is used. One might think that this is quite
secure. For example, if an encrypted hash code C is transmitted with the corresponding
unencrypted message M, then an opponent would need to find an M' such that H(M') =
H(M) to substitute another message and fool the receiver.
On average, the opponent would have to try about 2
63
messages to find one that
matches the hash code of the intercepted message. However, a different sort of attack is
possible, based on the birthday paradox.

Yuval proposed the following strategy:
1) The source, A, is prepared to "sign" a message by appending the appropriate m-
bit hash code and encrypting that hash code with A's private key.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.20

2) The opponent generates 2
m/2
variations on the message, all of which convey
essentially the same meaning. The opponent prepares an equal number of
messages, all of which are variations on the fraudulent message to be
substituted for the real one.
3) The two sets of messages are compared to find a pair of messages that produces
the same hash code. The probability of success, by the birthday paradox, is
greater than 0.5. If no match is found, additional valid and fraudulent messages
are generated until a match is made.
4) The opponent offers the valid variation to A for signature. This signature can
then be attached to the fraudulent variation for transmission to the intended
recipient. Because the two variations have the same hash code, they will produce
the same signature; the opponent is assured of success even though the
encryption key is not known.

Thus, if a 64-bit hash code is used, the level of effort required is only on the order of 2
32
.

Block Chaining Techniques
A number of proposals have been made for hash functions based on using a
cipher block chaining technique, but without the secret key.
One of the first such proposals was that of Rabin, Divide a message M into fixed-
size blocks M1, M2,..., MN and use a symmetric encryption system such as DES to
compute the hash code G as follows:
Ho = initial value
Hi = E(Mi, Hi, Hi1)
G = HN
This is similar to the CBC technique, but in this case there is no secret key

A.5 SECURITY OF HASH FUNCTIONS AND MACS
Just as with symmetric and public-key encryption, we can group attacks on hash
functions and MACs into two categories: brute-force attacks and cryptanalysis.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.21

Brute-Force Attacks
The nature of brute-force attacks differs somewhat for hash functions and MACs.

Hash Functions
The strength of a hash function against brute-force attacks depends solely on the
length of the hash code produced by the algorithm.
Recall from our discussion of hash functions that there are three desirable
properties:
V One-way:
For any given code h, it is computationally infeasible to find x such that H(x) = h.
V Weak collision resistance:
For any given block x, it is computationally infeasible to find y x with H(y) =
H(x).
V Strong collision resistance:
It is computationally infeasible to find any pair (x, y) such that H(x) = H(y).

For a hash code of length n, the level of effort required, as we have seen is
proportional to the following:
One way 2
n

Weak collision resistance 2
n

Strong collision resistance 2
n/2


Message Authentication Codes
A brute-force attack on a MAC is a more difficult undertaking because it
requires known message-MAC pairs.
To attack a hash code, we can proceed in the following way. Given a fixed
message x with n-bit hash code h = H(x), a brute-force method of finding a collision is to
pick a random bit string y and check if H(y) = H(x).
The attacker can do this repeatedly off line. Whether an off-line attack can be
used on a MAC algorithm depends on the relative size of the key and the MAC.

UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.22

To proceed, we need to state the desired security property of a MAC algorithm,
which can be expressed as follows:
Computation resistance:
Given one or more text-MAC pairs [xi, C(K, xi)], it is computationally infeasible
to compute any text-MAC pair [x, C(K, x)] for any new input x xi.
In other words, the attacker would like to come up with the valid MAC code for a given
message x. There are two lines of attack possible: Attack the key space and attack the
MAC value. We examine each of these in turn.

Cryptanalysis
As with encryption algorithms, cryptanalytic attacks on hash functions and MAC
algorithms seek to exploit some property of the algorithm to perform some attack other
than an exhaustive search.
The way to measure the resistance of a hash or MAC algorithm to cryptanalysis
is to compare its strength to the effort required for a brute-force attack. That is, an
ideal hash or MAC algorithm will require a cryptanalytic effort greater than or equal to
the brute-force effort.

Hash Functions

UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.23

The hash function takes an input message and partitions it into L fixed-sized
blocks of b bits each. If necessary, the final block is padded to b bits. The final block also
includes the value of the total length of the input to the hash function.
The inclusion of the length makes the job of the opponent more difficult. Either
the opponent must find two messages of equal length that hash to the same value or
two messages of differing lengths that, together with their length values, hash to the
same value.

The hash algorithm involves repeated use of a compression function, f, that
takes two inputs (an n-bit input from the previous step, called the chaining variable,
and a b-bit block) and produces an n-bit output.

At the start of hashing, the chaining variable has an initial value that is
specified as part of the algorithm. The final value of the chaining variable is the hash
value. Often, b > n; hence the term compression. The hash function can be summarized
as follows:
CVo = IV = initial n-bit value
CVi = f(CVi1, Yi1) 1 i L
H(M) = CVL
where the input to the hash function is a messageM consisting of the blocks Yo,Y1,.., YL1.

Cryptanalysis of hash functions focuses on the internal structure of f and is
based on attempts to find efficient techniques for producing collisions for a single
execution of f. Once that is done, the attack must take into account the fixed value of
IV. The attack on f depends on exploiting its internal structure.

Message Authentication Codes
There is much more variety in the structure of MACs than in hash functions, so
it is difficult to generalize about the cryptanalysis of MACs.

3.2 MD5 MESSAGE DIGEST ALGORITHM
MD5 was developed by Ron Rivest at MIT in 1991. MD5 was the most widely
used secure hash algorithm. MD5 defend itself against collisions.

How MD5 Works? (MD5 Logic)
The algorithm takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as
output a 128-bit message digest. The input is processed in 512-bit blocks.

MD5 Algorithm
Above figure depicts the overall processing of a message to produce a digest. The
processing consists of the following steps:
1. Append padding bits:
The message is padded so that its length in bits is congruent to 448 modulo 512
( 512 mod 448 4 length ). That is, the length of the padded message is 64 bits less than an
integer multiple of 512 bits.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.25

Padding is always added, even if the message is already of the desired length.
For example, if the message is 448 bits long, it is padded with 512 bits to a length of
960 bits. Thus, the number of padding bits is in the range of 1 to 512. The padding
consists of a single 1-bit followed by the necessary number of 0-bits.
2. Append length:
A 64-bit representation of the length in bits of the original message (before the
padding) is appended to the result of Step 1 (least significant byte first). If the original
length is greater than 2
64
, then only the lower-order 64 bits of the length are used.
Thus, the field contains the length of the original message, modulo 2
64
.

The outcome of the first two steps yields a message that is an integer multiple
of 512 bits in length. In Figure, the expanded message is represented as the sequence of
512-bit blocks
1 1 0
,.., ,
1 L
Y Y Y , so that the total length of the expanded message is 512 5 L
bits. Equivalently, the result is a multiple of 16 32-bit words. Let M[0..N-1] denote the
words of the resulting message with N an integer multiple of 16. Thus, 16 16 L N .

3. Initialize MD buffer:
A 128-bit buffer is used to hold intermediate and final results of the hash
function. The buffer can be represented as four 32-bit registers (A,B,C,D). These
registers are initialized to the following 32-bit integers (hexadecimal values):
A = 6 7 4 5 2 3 0 1
B = E F C D A B 8 9
C = 9 8 B A D C F E
D = 1 0 3 2 5 4 7 6
These values are stored in little-endian format, which is the least-significant
byte of a word in the low-address byte position. As 32-bit strings, the initialization
values (in hexadecimal format) appear as follows:
Word A : 01 23 45 67
Word B : 89 AB CD EF
Word C : FE DC BA 98
Word D : 76 54 32 10
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.26

4. Process message in 512-bit (16-word) blocks:
The heart of the algorithm is a compression function that consists of four
rounds of processing; this module is labeled
5 MD
H . The four rounds have a similar
structure, but each uses a different primitive logical function, referred to as F, G, H,
and I in the specification.

Each round takes as input the current 512-bit block being processed (
q
Y ) and the
128-bit buffer value ABCD and updates the contents of the buffer. Each round also
makes use of one-fourth of a 64-element table T[1..64], constructed from the sine
function. The i-th element of T, denoted T[i], has the value equal to the integer part
of )) (sin( 2
32
i abs ab , where i is in radians.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.27

Because ] 1 , 0 [ )) (sin( 0 [ i abs , each element of T is an integer that can be represented
in 32 bits. The table provides a randomized set of 32-bit patterns, which should
eliminate any regularities in the input data.
The output of the fourth round is added to the input to the first round (
q
CV ) to
produce
11 q
CV . The addition is done independently for each of the four words in the
buffer with each of the corresponding words in
q
CV , using addition modulo 2
32
.

5. Output:
After all L 512-bit blocks have been processed, the output from the L-th stage is
the 128-bit message digest.

One of the four primitive logical functions is used for each of the four rounds of

output is a function of the three inputs. The functions can be summarized as follows:

MD4 is the precursor to MD5, and was widely used. It uses 3 instead of 4 rounds, and
the round functions are a little simpler. In creating MD5 Rivest aimed to strengthen
the algorithms by introducing the extra round, and varying the constants used.

Strength of MD5
MD5 hash is dependent on all message bits
Rivest claims security is good as can be
known attacks are:
Berson 92 attacked any 1 round using differential cryptanalysis (but cant
extend)
Boer & Bosselaers 93 found a pseudo collision (again unable to extend)
Dobbertin 96 created collisions on MD compression function (but initial
constants prevent exploit)
conclusion is that MD5 looks vulnerable soon
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

3.3 SECURE HASH ALGORITHM (SHA-1)
Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) was developed by National institute of standards
and technology (NIST) in 1993. SHA is based on MD4 Algorithm and its design closely
models MD4.

How SHA Works?
The algorithm takes an input a message with a maximum length of less than 2
64
bits and produces as output a 160-bit message digest. The input is processed in 512-bit
blocks.

Computationally Infeasible:
SHA is designed to be computationally infeasible to
a) Obtain the original message, given its message digest.
b) Find two messages producing same message digest

Processing Steps:
Step 1: Append padding bits.
The message is padded so that its length is congruent to 448 modulo 512.
Padding is always added, even if the message is already of the desired length. Thus, the
number of padding bits is in the range of 1 to 512.
Step 2: Append length.
The length of original message excluding the padding length is calculated and
appended to the end of padding as a 64-bit block.
Step 3: Initialize hash buffer.

The RIPEMD -160 message digest algorithm was developed under the European
Race Integrity Primitives Evaluation (RIPE) project.

Processing Steps:
Step 1: Append Padding Bits
9 The message is padded so that its length is congruent to 448 modulo 512.
9 Padding is always added even if the message is already of the desired length.
Step 2: Append Length
A block of 64 bits is appended to the message.

3.5 HMAC
HMAC Design Objectives
RFC 2104 lists the following design objectives for HMAC:
V To use, without modifications, available hash functions. In particular, hash
functions that perform well in software, and for which code is freely and widely
available.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.38

V To allow for easy replaceability of the embedded hash function in case faster or
more secure hash functions are found or required.
V To preserve the original performance of the hash function without incurring a
significant degradation.
V To use and handle keys in a simple way.
V To have a well understood cryptographic analysis of the strength of the
authentication mechanism based on reasonable assumptions about the
embedded hash function.

The first two objectives are important to the acceptability of HMAC. HMAC
treats the hash function as a "black box." This has two benefits. First, an existing
implementation of a hash function can be used as a module in implementing HMAC.
Second, if it is ever desired to replace a given hash function in an HMAC
implementation, all that is required is to remove the existing hash function module and
drop in the new module.
The last design objective in the preceding list is, in fact, the main advantage of
HMAC over other proposed hash-based schemes. HMAC can be proven secure provided
that the embedded hash function has some reasonable cryptographic strengths.

HMAC Algorithm

UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.39

Figure illustrates the overall operation of HMAC. Define the following terms:
H = embedded hash function (e.g., MD5, SHA-1, RIPEMD-160)
IV = initial value input to hash function
M = message input to HMAC(including the padding specified in the embedded hash
function)
Yi = ith block of M, 0 i (L - 1)
L = number of blocks in M
b = number of bits in a block
n = length of hash code produced by embedded hash function
K = secret key recommended length is n; if key length is greater than b; the key is
input to the hash function to produce an n-bit key
K
+
= K padded with zeros on the left so that the result is b bits in length
ipad = 00110110 (36 in hexadecimal) repeated b/8 times
opad = 01011100 (5C in hexadecimal) repeated b/8 times

Then HMAC can be expressed as follows:
HMAC(K,M) = H[(K
+
opad)||H[(K
+
ipad)||M]]
In words,
1) Append zeros to the left end of K to create a b-bit string K
+
(e.g., if K is of length
160 bits and b = 512 then K will be appended with 44 zero bytes 0 x 00).
2) XOR (bitwise exclusive-OR) K
+
with ipad to produce the b-bit block Si.
3) Append M to Si.
4) Apply H to the stream generated in step 3.
5) XOR K
+
with opad to produce the b-bit block So
6) Append the hash result from step 4 to So
7) Apply H to the stream generated in step 6 and output the result.

UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.40

Security of HMAC
; The security of any MAC function based on an embedded hash function depends
in some way on the cryptographic strength of the underlying hash function. The
appeal of HMAC is that its designers have been able to prove an exact
relationship between the strength of the embedded hash function and the
strength of HMAC.
; The security of a MAC function is generally expressed in terms of the probability
of successful forgery with a given amount of time spent by the forger and a given
number of message-MAC pairs created with the same key.

3.6 DIGITAL SIGNATURES AND AUTHENTICATION PROTOCOLS
V A digital signature is an authentication mechanism that enables the creator of a
message to attach a code that acts as a signature. The signature is formed by
taking the hash of the message and encrypting the message with the creator's
private key. The signature guarantees the source and integrity of the message.
V Mutual authentication protocols enable communicating parties to satisfy
themselves mutually about each other's identity and to exchange session keys.
V In one-way authentication, the recipient wants some assurance that a message is
from the alleged sender.
V The digital signature standard (DSS) is an NIST standard that uses the secure
hash algorithm (SHA).

B.1 DIGITAL SIGNATURES
Requirements
Message authentication protects two parties who exchange messages from any
third party. However, it does not protect the two parties against each other. Several
forms of dispute between the two are possible. The digital signature is analogous to the
handwritten signature. It must have the following properties:
V It must verify the author and the date and time of the signature.
V It must to authenticate the contents at the time of the signature.
V It must be verifiable by third parties, to resolve disputes.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.41

Thus, the digital signature function includes the authentication function. On the basis
of these properties, we can formulate the following requirements for a digital signature:
V The signature must be a bit pattern that depends on the message being signed.
V The signature must use some information unique to the sender, to prevent both
forgery and denial.
V It must be relatively easy to produce the digital signature.
V It must be relatively easy to recognize and verify the digital signature.
V It must be computationally infeasible to forge a digital signature, either by
constructing a new message for an existing digital signature or by constructing a
fraudulent digital signature for a given message.

It must be practical to retain a copy of the digital signature in storage. A variety
of approaches has been proposed for the digital signature function. These approaches
fall into two categories: direct and arbitrated.

Direct Digital Signature
The direct digital signature involves only the communicating parties (source,
destination). It is assumed that the destination knows the public key of the source. A
digital signature may be formed by encrypting the entire message with the sender's
private key or by encrypting a hash code of the message with the sender's private key.

Confidentiality can be provided by further encrypting the entire message plus
signature with either the receiver's public key (public-key encryption) or a shared secret
key (symmetric encryption). Note that it is important to perform the signature function
first and then an outer confidentiality function.

In case of dispute, some third party must view the message and its signature. If
the signature is calculated on an encrypted message, then the third party also needs
access to the decryption key to read the original message. However, if the signature is
the inner operation, then the recipient can store the plaintext message and its
signature for later use in dispute resolution.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.42

All direct schemes described so far share a common weakness. The validity of the
scheme depends on the security of the sender's private key. If a sender later wishes to
deny sending a particular message, the sender can claim that the private key was lost
or stolen and that someone else forged his or her signature.

Administrative controls relating to the security of private keys can be employed
to thwart or at least weaken this ploy, but the threat is still there, at least to some
degree. One example is to require every signed message to include a timestamp (date
and time) and to require prompt reporting of compromised keys to a central authority.

Another threat is that some private key might actually be stolen from X at time
T. The opponent can then send a message signed with X's signature and stamped with
a time before or equal to T.

Arbitrated Digital Signature
The problems associated with direct digital signatures can be addressed by using
an arbiter. As with direct signature schemes, there is a variety of arbitrated signature
schemes.

In general terms, they all operate as follows. Every signed message from a
sender X to a receiver Y goes first to an arbiter A, who subjects the message and its
signature to a number of tests to check its origin and content.

The message is then dated and sent to Y with an indication that it has been
verified to the satisfaction of the arbiter. The presence of A solves the problem faced by
direct signature schemes: that X might disown the message.

The arbiter plays a sensitive and crucial role in this sort of scheme, and all
parties must have a great deal of trust that the arbitration mechanism is working
properly.

Thangavel Murugan 3.43

(2) A Y: E(Kay, [IDX||M||E(Kxa, [IDX||H(M)])||T])
(a) Conventional Encryption, Arbiter Sees Message

(b) Conventional Encryption, Arbiter Does Not See Message
(1) X A: IDX||E(PRx, [IDX||E(PUy, E(PRx, M))])
(2) A Y: E(PRa, [IDX||E(PUy, E(PRx, M))||T])
(c) Public-Key Encryption, Arbiter Does Not See Message
Notation:
X = sender
Y = recipient
A = Arbiter
M = message
T = timestamp

The arbiter uses Kay to recover IDX, M, and the signature, and then uses Kxa to
decrypt the signature and verify the hash code. In this scheme, Y cannot directly check
X's signature; the signature is there solely to settle disputes. Y considers the message
from X authentic because it comes through A. In this scenario, both sides must have a
high degree of trust in A:

X must trust A not to reveal Kxa and not to generate false signatures of the form
E(Kxa,[IDX||H(M)]).Y must trust A to send E(Kay, [IDX||M||E(Kxa, [IDX||H(M)])||T])
only if the hash value is correct and the signature was generated by X.

Both sides must trust A to resolve disputes fairly. If the arbiter does live up to
this trust, then X is assured that no one can forge his signature and Y is assured that X
cannot disavow his signature.

UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.44

B.2 AUTHENTICATION PROTOCOLS
MUTUAL AUTHENTICATION
An important application area is that of mutual authentication protocols. Such
protocols enable communicating parties to satisfy themselves mutually about each
other's identity and to exchange session keys.
Central to the problem of authenticated key exchange are two issues:
confidentiality and timeliness. To prevent masquerade and to prevent compromise of
session keys, essential identification and session key information must be
communicated in encrypted form. This requires the prior existence of secret or public
keys that can be used for this purpose.
The second issue, timeliness, is important because of the threat of message
replays. Such replays, at worst, could allow an opponent to compromise a session key or
successfully impersonate another party. At minimum, a successful replay can disrupt
operations by presenting parties with messages that appear genuine but are not.

Replay attacks
Simple replay:
The opponent simply copies a message and replays it later.
Repetition that can be logged:
An opponent can replay a time stamped message within the valid time window.
Repetition that cannot be detected:
This situation could arise because the original message could have been
suppressed and thus did not arrive at its destination; only the replay message arrives.
Backward replay without modification:
This is a replay back to the message sender. This attack is possible if symmetric
encryption is used and the sender cannot easily recognize the difference between
messages sent and messages received on the basis of content.

One approach to coping with replay attacks is to attach a sequence number to
each message used in an authentication exchange. A new message is accepted only if its
sequence number is in the proper order.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.45


The difficulty with this approach is that it requires each party to keep track of
the last sequence number for each claimant it has dealt with. Because of this overhead,
sequence numbers are generally not used for authentication and key exchange.

Instead, one of the following two general approaches is used:

Timestamps:
Party A accepts a message as fresh only if the message contains a timestamp
that, in A's judgment, is close enough to A's knowledge of current time. This approach
requires that clocks among the various participants be synchronized.

Challenge/response:
Party A, expecting a fresh message from B, first sends B a nonce (challenge) and
requires that the subsequent message (response) received from B contain the correct
nonce value.


Symmetric Encryption Approaches
A two-level hierarchy of symmetric encryption keys can be used to provide
confidentiality for communication in a distributed environment. In general, this
strategy involves the use of a trusted key distribution center (KDC).

Each party in the network shares a secret key, known as a master key, with the
KDC. The KDC is responsible for generating keys to be used for a short time over a
connection between two parties, known as session keys, and for distributing those keys
using the master keys to protect the distribution.

A proposal initially put forth by Needham and Schroeder for secret key
distribution using a KDC that includes authentication features.

UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.46


The protocol can be summarized as follows:
1. A KDC: IDA||IDB||N1
2. KDC A: E(Ka, [Ks||IDB||N1||E(Kb, [Ks||IDA])])
3. A B: E(Kb, [Ks||IDA])
4. A A: E(Ks, N2)
5. A B: E(Ks, f(N2))

Secret keys Ka and Kb are shared between A and the KDC and B and the KDC,
respectively. The purpose of the protocol is to distribute securely a session key Ks to A
and B. A securely acquires a new session key in step 2. The message in step 3 can be
decrypted, and hence understood, only by B.
Step 4 reflects B's knowledge of Ks, and step 5 assures B of A's knowledge of Ks
and assures B that this is a fresh message because of the use of the nonce N2. The
purpose of steps 4 and 5 is to prevent a certain type of replay attack. In particular, if an
opponent is able to capture the message in step 3 and replay it, this might in some
fashion disrupt operations at B.

Despite the handshake of steps 4 and 5, the protocol is still vulnerable to a form
of replay attack. Suppose that an opponent, X, has been able to compromise an old
session key. Admittedly, this is a much more unlikely occurrence than that an opponent
has simply observed and recorded step 3.
Nevertheless, it is a potential security risk. X can impersonate A and trick B into
using the old key by simply replaying step 3. Unless B remembers indefinitely all
previous session keys used with A, B will be unable to determine that this is a replay.
If X can intercept the handshake message, step 4, then it can impersonate A's
response, step 5. From this point on, X can send bogus messages to B that appear to B
to come from A using an authenticated session key.

UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.47

Denning proposes to overcome this weakness by a modification to the
Needham/Schroeder protocol that includes the addition of a timestamp to steps 2 and 3.
Her proposal assumes that the master keys, Ka and Kb are secure, and it consists of the
following steps:

1. A KDC: IDA||IDB
2. KDC A: E(Ka, [Ks||IDB||T||E(Kb, [Ks||IDA||T])])
3. A B: E(Kb, [Ks||IDA||T])
4. B A: E(Ks, N1)
5. A B: E(Ks, f(N1))

The Denning protocol seems to provide an increased degree of security compared
to the Needham/Schroeder protocol. However, a new concern is raised: namely, that
this new scheme requires reliance on clocks that are synchronized throughout the
network.

The risk is based on the fact that the distributed clocks can become
unsynchronized as a result of sabotage on or faults in the clocks or the synchronization
mechanism. The problem occurs when a sender's clock is ahead of the intended
recipient's clock.
In this case, an opponent can intercept a message from the sender and replay it
later when the timestamp in the message becomes current at the recipient's site. This
replay could cause unexpected results. Gong refers to such attacks as suppress-replay
attacks.

An attempt is made to respond to the concerns about suppress-replay attacks
and at the same time fix the problems in the Needham/Schroeder protocol.
Subsequently, an inconsistency in this latter protocol was noted and an improved
strategy was presented.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.48

The protocol is as follows:
1. A B: IDA||Na
2. B KDC: IDB||Nb||E(Kb, [IDA||Na||Tb])
3. KDC A: E(Ka, [IDB||Na||Ks||Tb])||E(Kb,[IDA||Ks||Tb])||Nb
4. A B: E(Kb, [IDA||Ks||Tb])||E(Ks, Nb)

Let us follow this exchange step by step.
1. A initiates the authentication exchange by generating a nonce, Na, and sending that
plus its identifier to B in plaintext. This nonce will be returned to A in an encrypted
message that includes the session key, assuring A of its timeliness.
2. B alerts the KDC that a session key is needed. Its message to the KDC includes its
identifier and a nonce, Nb This nonce will be returned to B in an encrypted message
that includes the session key, assuring B of its timeliness. B's message to the KDC
also includes a block encrypted with the secret key shared by B and the KDC. This
block is used to instruct the KDC to issue credentials to A; the block specifies the
intended recipient of the credentials, a suggested expiration time for the
credentials, and the nonce received from A.
3. The KDC passes on to A B's nonce and a block encrypted with the secret key that B
shares with the KDC. The block serves as a "ticket" that can be used by A for
subsequent authentications, as will be seen. The KDC also sends to A a block
encrypted with the secret key shared by A and the KDC. This block verifies that B
has received A's initial message (IDB) and that this is a timely message and not a
replay (Na) and it provides A with a session key (Ks) and the time limit on its use
(Tb).
4. A transmits the ticket to B, together with the B's nonce, the latter encrypted with
the session key. The ticket provides B with the secret key that is used to decrypt
E(Ks, Nb) to recover the nonce. The fact that B's nonce is encrypted with the session
key authenticates that the message came from A and is not a replay.

UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.49

This protocol provides an effective, secure means for A and B to establish a
session with a secure session key. Furthermore, the protocol leaves A in possession of a
key that can be used for subsequent authentication to B, avoiding the need to contact
the authentication server repeatedly.
Suppose that A and B establish a session using the aforementioned protocol and
then conclude that session. Subsequently, but within the time limit established by the
protocol, A desires a new session with B. The following protocol ensues:
1. A B: E(Kb, [IDA||Ks||Tb])||N'a
2. B A: N'b||E(Ks, N'a)
3. A B: E(Ks, N'b)
When B receives the message in step 1, it verifies that the ticket has not expired. The
newly generated nonces N'a and N'b assure each party that there is no replay attack.

Public-Key Encryption Approaches
One approach to the use of public-key encryption for the purpose of session key
distribution. This protocol assumes that each of the two parties is in possession of the
current public key of the other. It may not be practical to require this assumption.

A protocol using timestamps:
1. A AS: IDA||IDB
2. AS A: E(PRas, [IDA||PUa||T])||E(PRas, [IDB||PUb||T])
3. A B: E(PRas, [IDA||PUa||T])||E(PRas, [IDB||PUb||T])||E(PUb, E(PRa,
[Ks||T]))

In this case, the central system is referred to as an authentication server (AS),
because it is not actually responsible for secret key distribution. Rather, the AS
provides public-key certificates. The session key is chosen and encrypted by A; hence,
there is no risk of exposure by the AS. The timestamps protect against replays of
compromised keys.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.50

Another approach, proposed by Woo and Lam, makes use of nonces. The protocol
consists of the following steps:
1. A KDC: IDA||IDB
2. KDC A: E(PRauth, [IDB||PUb])
3. A B: E(PUb, [Na||IDA])
4. B KDC: IDA||IDB||E(PUauth, Na)
5. KDC B: E(PRauth, [IDA||PUa])||E(PUb, E(PRauth, [Na||Ks||IDB]))
6. B A: E(PUa, E(PRauth, [(Na||Ks||IDB)||Nb]))
7. A B: E(Ks, Nb)
In step 1, A informs the KDC of its intention to establish a secure connection
with B. The KDC returns to A a copy of B's public-key certificate (step 2). Using B's
public key, A informs B of its desire to communicate and sends a nonce Na (step 3).

In step 4, B asks the KDC for A's public-key certificate and requests a session
key; B includes A's nonce so that the KDC can stamp the session key with that nonce.
The nonce is protected using the KDC's public key.

In step 5, the KDC returns to B a copy of A's public-key certificate, plus the
information {Na, Ks, IDB}. This information basically says that Ks is a secret key
generated by the KDC on behalf of B and tied to Na; the binding of Ks and Na will
assure A that Ks is fresh. This triple is encrypted, using the KDC's private key, to allow
B to verify that the triple is in fact from the KDC. It is also encrypted using B's public
key, so that no other entity may use the triple in an attempt to establish a fraudulent
connection with A.
In step 6, the triple {Na, Ks, IDB}, still encrypted with the KDC's private key, is
relayed to A, together with a nonce Nb generated by B. All the foregoing are encrypted
using A's public key. A retrieves the session key Ks and uses it to encrypt Nb and return
it to B. This last message assures B of A's knowledge of the session key.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.51

This seems to be a secure protocol that takes into account the various attacks.
However, the authors themselves spotted a flaw and submitted a revised version of the
algorithm:
1. A KDC: IDA||IDB
2. KDC A: E(PRauth, [IDB||PUb])
3. A B: E(PUb, [Na||IDA])
4. B KDC: IDA||IDB||E(PUauth, Na)
5. KDC B: E(PRauth, [IDA||PUa])||E(PUb, E(PRauth, [Na||Ks||IDA||IDB])
6. B A: E(PUa, E(PRauth, [(Na||Ks||IDA||IDB)||Nb]))
7. A B: E(Ks, Nb)
The identifier of A, IDA, is added to the set of items encrypted with the KDC's
private key in steps 5 and 6. This binds the session key Ks to the identities of the two
parties that will be engaged in the session. This inclusion of IDA accounts for the fact
that the nonce value Na is considered unique only among all nonces generated by A, not
among all nonces generated by all parties. Thus, it is the pair {IDA, Na} that uniquely
identifies the connection request of A.

ONE-WAY AUTHENTICATION
One application for which encryption is growing in popularity is electronic mail
(e-mail). The very nature of electronic mail, and its chief benefit, is that it is not
necessary for the sender and receiver to be online at the same time. Instead, the e-mail
message is forwarded to the receiver's electronic mailbox, where it is buffered until the
receiver is available to read it.
The "envelope" or header of the e-mail message must be in the clear, so that the
message can be handled by the store-and-forward e-mail protocol, such as the Simple
Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) or X.400. However, it is often desirable that the mail-
handling protocol not require access to the plaintext form of the message, because that
would require trusting the mail-handling mechanism.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.52

Accordingly, the e-mail message should be encrypted such that the mail-
handling system is not in possession of the decryption key. A second requirement is
that of authentication. Typically, the recipient wants some assurance that the message
is from the alleged sender.

Symmetric Encryption Approach
Using symmetric encryption, the decentralized key distribution scenario is
impractical. This scheme requires the sender to issue a request to the intended
recipient, await a response that includes a session key, and only then send the message.

With some refinement, the KDC strategy is a candidate for encrypted electronic
mail. Because we wish to avoid requiring that the recipient (B) be on line at the same
time as the sender (A), steps 4 and 5 must be eliminated.

For a message with content M, the sequence is as follows:
1. A KDC: IDA||IDB||N1
2. KDC A: E(Ka, [Ks||IDB||N1||E(Kb, [Ks||IDA])])
3. A B: E(Kb, [Ks||IDA])||E(Ks, M)

This approach guarantees that only the intended recipient of a message will be
able to read it. It also provides a level of authentication that the sender is A. As
specified, the protocol does not protect against replays.
Some measure of defense could be provided by including a timestamp with the
message. However, because of the potential delays in the e-mail process, such
timestamps may have limited usefulness.

Public-Key Encryption Approaches
Public-key encryption approaches those are suited to electronic mail, including
the straightforward encryption of the entire message for confidentiality, authentication,
or both.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.53

If confidentiality is the primary concern, then the following may be more efficient:
A B: E(PUb, Ks)||E(Ks, M)
In this case, the message is encrypted with a one-time secret key. A also encrypts this
one-time key with B's public key. Only B will be able to use the corresponding private
key to recover the one-time key and then use that key to decrypt the message. This
scheme is more efficient than simply encrypting the entire message with B's public key.

If authentication is the primary concern, then a digital signature may suffice:
A B:M||E(PRa, H(M))
This method guarantees that A cannot later deny having sent the message.
However, this technique is open to another kind of fraud. Bob composes a message to
his boss Alice that contains an idea that will save the company money. He appends his
digital signature and sends it into the e-mail system. Eventually, the message will get
delivered to Alice's mailbox.
But suppose that Max has heard of Bob's idea and gains access to the mail queue
before delivery. He finds Bob's message, strips off his signature, appends his, and
requeues the message to be delivered to Alice. Max gets credit for Bob's idea.

To counter such a scheme, both the message and signature can be encrypted with the
recipient's public key:
A B: E(PUb, [M||E(PRa, H(M))])
The latter two schemes require that B know A's public key and be convinced that it is
timely. An effective way to provide this assurance is the digital certificate. Now we have
A B:M||E(PRa, H(M))||E(PRas, [T||IDA||PUa])
In addition to the message, A sends B the signature, encrypted with A's private
key, and A's certificate, encrypted with the private key of the authentication server.
The recipient of the message first uses the certificate to obtain the sender's public key
and verify that it is authentic and then uses the public key to verify the message itself.
If confidentiality is required, then the entire message can be encrypted with B's
public key. Alternatively, the entire message can be encrypted with a one-time secret
key; the secret key is also transmitted, encrypted with B's public key.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

B.3 DIGITAL SIGNATURE STANDARD
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has published
Federal Information Processing Standard FIPS 186, known as the Digital Signature
Standard (DSS). The DSS makes use of the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) and presents
a new digital signature technique, the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA).

The DSS Approach
The DSS uses an algorithm that is designed to provide only the digital signature
function. Unlike RSA, it cannot be used for encryption or key exchange. Nevertheless, it
is a public-key technique.


Above figure contrasts the DSS approach for generating digital signatures to
that used with RSA. In the RSA approach, the message to be signed is input to a hash
function that produces a secure hash code of fixed length. This hash code is then
encrypted using the sender's private key to form the signature.
Both the message and the signature are then transmitted. The recipient takes
the message and produces a hash code. The recipient also decrypts the signature using
the sender's public key.
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.55

If the calculated hash code matches the decrypted signature, the signature is
accepted as valid. Because only the sender knows the private key, only the sender could
have produced a valid signature.

The DSS approach also makes use of a hash function. The hash code is provided
as input to a signature function along with a random number k generated for this
particular signature.

The signature function also depends on the sender's private key (PRa)and a set of
parameters known to a group of communicating principals. We can consider this set to
constitute a global public key (PUG). The result is a signature consisting of two
components, labeled s and r.

At the receiving end, the hash code of the incoming message is generated. This
plus the signature is input to a verification function. The verification function also
depends on the global public key as well as the sender's public key (PUa), which is
paired with the sender's private key.

The output of the verification function is a value that is equal to the signature
component r if the signature is valid. The signature function is such that only the
sender, with knowledge of the private key, could have produced the valid signature.

The Digital Signature Algorithm
The DSA is based on the difficulty of computing discrete logarithms and is based
on schemes originally presented by ElGamal and Schnorr.
Below table summarizes the algorithm. There are three parameters that are
public and can be common to a group of users. A 160-bit prime number q is chosen.
Next, a prime number p is selected with a length between 512 and 1024 bits such that q
divides (p - 1).
Finally, g is chosen to be of the form h
(p - 1)/q
mod p where h is an integer between
1 and (p - 1) with the restriction that g must be greater than 1.

u1 = [H(M')w] mod q
u2 =(r')w mod q
v = [(g
u - 1
y
u - 2
) mod p] mod q
TEST: v = r'
M = message to be signed
H(M) = hash of M using SHA-1
M', r', s' = received versions of M, r, s
UNIT 3 : MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION NETWORK SECURITY

Thangavel Murugan 3.57



The structure of the algorithm, is quite interesting. Note that the test at the end
is on the value r, which does not depend on the message at all. Instead, r is a function of
k and the three global public-key components.
The multiplicative inverse of k (mod q) is passed to a function that also has as
inputs the message hash code and the user's private key. The structure of this function
is such that the receiver can recover r using the incoming message and signature, the
public key of the user, and the global public key.
