Attacks. Services, and mechanisms Security attack: Any action that compromises the securi of information Security Mechanism: A mechanism that is designed to detect, prevent, or recover from a security attack Security service: a service that enhances the security of data processing systems and information transfers. A security service makes use of one or more security mechanisms
Attacks, Services, and Mechanisms * Security Attack: Any action that compromises the security of information. * Security Mechanism: A mechanism that is designed to detect, prevent, or recover from a security attack. * Security Service: A service that enhances the security of data processing systems and information transfers. A security service makes use of one or more security mechanisms
Cryptosystem A cryptosystem is a five -tuple(P, C, K, E,D), where the following conditions are satisfied 1. P is a finite set of possible plain teXts 2. C is a finite set of possible ciphertexts 3. K, the keyspace, is a finite set of possible keys 4. For each kEK, there is an encryption rule eK E E and a corresponding decryption rule dk∈D. Each ek:P> C and d,:C→Pare functions such that dex( x )=x for every plaintext X∈P

Background on Functions (ctd) • one-way function if – f(x) is easy to compute for all x X, but – it is computationally infeasible to find any x X such that f(x) =y. • trapdoor one-way function if – given trapdoor information, it becomes feasible to find an x X such that f(x) =y

Models for evaluating security(ctd) Computational security(Practical security) We might define a cryptosystem to be computationally secure if the best algorithm for breaking it requires at least N operations, where N is some specified, very large number The problem is that no known practical cryptosystem can be proved to be secure under this definition neither the Shift Cipher, the Substitution Cipher nor the Vigenke Cipher is computationally secure against a ciphertext-only attack(given a sufficient amount of ciphertext) Ad hoc security(heuristic security) any variety of convincing computational security unforeseen attacks may remain
