Cryptanalysis Of Two Anonymous Buyer-Seller Watermarking Protocols And An Improvement For True Anonymity, Bok-Min Goi, Raphael C. W. Phan, Yanjiang Yang, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng, M. U. Siddiqi
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
By combining techniques of watermarking and fingerprinting, a sound buyer-seller watermarking protocol can address the issue of copyright protection in e-commerce. In this paper, we analyze the security of two recent anonymous buyer-seller watermarking protocols proposed by Ju et. al and Choi et. al respectively, and prove that they do not provide the features and security as claimed. In particular, we show that i) the commutative cryptosystem used in Choi et. als protocol fails to prevent the watermark certification authority (WCA) from discovering the watermark (fingerprint) chosen by the buyer; ii) for both protocols, the seller can discover the watermark …
A Framework For Secure Group Key Management, Sahar Mohamed Ghanem
A Framework For Secure Group Key Management, Sahar Mohamed Ghanem
Computer Science Theses & Dissertations
The need for secure group communication is increasingly evident in a wide variety of governmental, commercial, and Internet communities. Secure group key management is concerned with the methods of issuing and distributing group keys, and the management of those keys over a period of time. To provide perfect secrecy, a central group key manager (GKM) has to perform group rekeying for every join or leave request. Fast rekeying is crucial to an application's performance that has large group size, experiences frequent joins and leaves, or where the GKM is hosted by a group member. Examples of such applications are interactive …
Security Analysis Of Some Proxy Signature, Guilin Wang, Feng Bao, Jianying Zhou, Robert H. Deng
Security Analysis Of Some Proxy Signature, Guilin Wang, Feng Bao, Jianying Zhou, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
A proxy signature scheme allows an entity to delegate his/her signing capability to another entity in such a way that the latter can sign messages on behalf of the former. Such schemes have been suggested for use in a number of applications, particularly in distributed computing where delegation of rights is quite common. Followed by the first schemes introduced by Mambo, Usuda and Okamoto in 1996, a number of new schemes and improvements have been proposed. In this paper, we present a security analysis of four such schemes newly proposed. By successfully identifying several interesting forgery attacks, we show that …

Within the overall context of protection of health care information, privacy of prescription data needs special treatment. First, the involvement of diverse parties, especially nonmedical parties in the process of drug prescription complicates the protection of prescription data. Second, both patients and doctors have privacy stakes in prescription, and their privacy should be equally protected. Third, the following facts determine that prescription should not be processed in a truly anonymous manner: certain involved parties conduct useful research on the basis of aggregation of prescription data that are linkable with respect to either the patients or the doctors; prescription data has …

A Secure Lightweight Currency Service Provider, Chih-Wen Hsiao, David Turner, Keith Ross
Theses Digitization Project
The main purpose of this project is to build a bank system that offers a friendly and simple interface to let users easily manage their lightweight currencies. The Lightweight Currency Protocol (LCP) was originally proposed to solve the problem of fairness in resource cooperatives. However, there are other possible applications of the protocol, including the control of spam and as a general purpose medium of exchange for low value transactions. This project investigates the implementation issues of the LCP, and also investigates LCP bank services to provide human interface to currency operations.

Optimisation Of John The Ripper In A Clustered Linux Environment, Christian Frichot
Optimisation Of John The Ripper In A Clustered Linux Environment, Christian Frichot
Theses : Honours
To aid system administrators in enforcing strict password policies, the use of password cracking tools such as Cisilia (C.I.S.I.ar, 2003) and John the Ripper (Solar Designer, 2002), have been employed as software utilities to look for "weak" passwords. John the Ripper (JtR) attempts to crack the passwords by using a dictionary, brute-force or "other" mode of attack. The computational intensity of cracking passwords has led to the utilisation of parallel-processing environments to increase the speed of the password-cracking task. Parallel-processing environments can consist of either single systems with multiple processors, or a collection of separate computers working together as a …

Nowadays mobile phones and PDAs are part and parcel of our lives. By carrying a portable mobile device with us all the time we are already living in partial Pervasive Computing Environment (PCE) that is waiting to be exploited very soon. One of the advantages of pervasive computing is that it strongly supports the deployment of Location-Based Service(s) (LBSs). In PCE, there would be many competitive service providers (SPs) trying to sell different or similar LBSs to users. In order to avail a particular service, it becomes very di#cult for a low-computing and resourcepoor mobile device to handle many such …

A Novel Approach To Information Security Risk Analysis, Bilge Karabacak, Ibrahim Sogukpinar
All Faculty and Staff Scholarship
A number of risk analysis methods became obsolete because of the profound changes in information technologies. Revolutionary changes in information technologies have converted many risk analysis methods into inconsistent, long lasting and expensive instruments. Therefore, risk analysis methods should be adaptively modified or redesigned according to the changes in information technologies, so that they meet the information security requirements of the organizations. By taking these requirements into consideration, a survey based approach is proposed for analyzing the risks of information technologies. This new method is named as Risk Analysis Method for Information Security (RAMIS). A case study is conducted to …

Aa Flexible And Scalable Authentication Scheme For Jpeg 2000 Image Codestreams, Cheng Peng, Robert H. Deng, Yongdong Wu, Weizhong Shao
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
JPEG2000 is an emerging standard for still image compression and is becoming the solution of choice for many digital imaging fields and applications. An important aspect of JPEG2000 is its "compress once, decompress many ways" property [1], i. e., it allows extraction of various sub-images (e.g., images with various resolutions, pixel fidelities, tiles and components) all from a single compressed image codestream. In this paper, we present a flexible and scalable authentication scheme for JPEG2000 images based on the Merkle hash tree and digital signature. Our scheme is fully compatible with JPEG2000 and possesses a "sign once, verify many ways" …
Content-Aware Authentication Of Motion Jpeg2000 Stream In Lossy Networks, Yongdong Wu, Robert H. Deng
Content-Aware Authentication Of Motion Jpeg2000 Stream In Lossy Networks, Yongdong Wu, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Stream authentication schemes (SAS) aim to achieve effective authentication of multicast streams over lossy networks. Almost all the existing SASs is designed for stream data integrity protection only. In this paper, we argue that content integrity protection is more important than data integrity to human users. We present a content-aware SAS in motion JPEG2000 streaming. In our scheme, a chunk of JPEG2000 codestreams is encapsulated into a block of packets using multiple description coding (MDC). Our MDC exploits the inherent structure of motion JPEG2000 codestreams and is used to preserve the semanteme/content of the stream over lossy networks. To achieve …

Making The Key Agreement Protocol In Mobile Ad Hoc Network More Efficient, Gang Yao, Kui Ren, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng, Dengguo Feng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Mobile ad hoc networks offer convenient infrastructureless communications over the shared wireless channel. However, the nature of mobile ad hoc networks makes them vulnerable to security attacks, such as passive eavesdropping over the wireless channel and denial of service attacks by malicious nodes. To ensure the security, several cryptography protocols are implemented. Due to the resource scarcity in mobile ad hoc networks, the protocols must be communication efficient and need as less computational power as possible. Broadcast communication is an important operation for many application in mobile ad hoc networks. To securely broadcast a message, all the members in the …
Validating Digital Signatures Without Ttp’S Time-Stamping And Certificate Revocation, Jianying Zhou, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng
Validating Digital Signatures Without Ttp’S Time-Stamping And Certificate Revocation, Jianying Zhou, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In non-repudiation services where digital signatures usually serve as irrefutable cryptographic evidence for dispute resolution, trusted time-stamping and certificate revocation services, although very costly in practice, must be available, to prevent big loss due to compromising of the signing key. In [12], a new concept called intrusion-resilient signature was proposed to get rid of trusted time-stamping and certificate revocation services and a concrete scheme was presented. In this paper, we put forward a new scheme that can achieve the same effect in a much more efficient way. In our scheme, forward-secure signature serves as a building block that enables signature …
Adaptive Collusion Attack To A Block Oriented Watermarking Scheme, Yongdong Wu, Robert H. Deng
Adaptive Collusion Attack To A Block Oriented Watermarking Scheme, Yongdong Wu, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this paper, we propose an adaptive collusion attack to a block oriented watermarking scheme [1]. In this attack, traitors conspire to selectively manipulate watermarked blocks to remove the watermark information. To this end, the traitors compare the watermarked blocks generated from the same original block. If two watermarked block are not equal, they average these two blocks to generate a pirated block. Then, replace the watermarked blocks with the pirated blocks so as to build a pirated image. The pirated image has no watermark but has much higher quality than watermarked images. We also give a theoretical analysis on …
An Efficient Public-Key Framework, Jianying Zhou, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng
An Efficient Public-Key Framework, Jianying Zhou, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Public-key certificates play an important role in binding the public key with the identity of the owner of the corresponding private key. A certificate might be revoked before its scheduled expiry date by the issuing CA. Efficient and timely distribution of certificate revocation information is a big challenge facing the PKI providers. Existing certificate revocation schemes place a considerable processing, communication, and storage overheads on the CA as well as the relying parties. To improve the current situation, we propose a revocation-free public-key framework, in which the maximum lifetime of a certificate is divided into short periods and the certificate …
Security Remarks On A Group Signature Scheme With Member Deletion, Guilin Wang, Feng Bao, Jianying Zhou, Robert H. Deng
Security Remarks On A Group Signature Scheme With Member Deletion, Guilin Wang, Feng Bao, Jianying Zhou, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
A group signature scheme allows a group member of a given group to sign messages on behalf of the group in an anonymous and unlinkable fashion. In case of a dispute, however, a designated group manager can reveal the signer of a valid group signature. Based on the Camenisch-Michels group signature scheme, Kim, Lim and Lee proposed the first group signature scheme with a member deletion procedure at ICISC 2000. Their scheme is very efficient in both communication and computation aspects. Unfortunately, their scheme is insecure. In this paper, we first identify an effective way that allows any verifier to …

Variations Of Diffie-Hellman Problem, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng, Huafei Zhu
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This paper studies various computational and decisional Diffie-Hellman problems by providing reductions among them in the high granularity setting. We show that all three variations of computational Diffie-Hellman problem: square Diffie-Hellman problem, inverse Diffie-Hellman problem and divisible Diffie-Hellman problem, are equivalent with optimal reduction. Also, we are considering variations of the decisional Diffie-Hellman problem in single sample and polynomial samples settings, and we are able to show that all variations are equivalent except for the argument DDH ⇐ SDDH. We are not able to prove or disprove this statement, thus leave an interesting open problem. Keywords: Diffie-Hellman problem, Square Diffie-Hellman …
An Efficient Known Plaintext Attack On Fea-M, Hongjun Wu, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng
An Efficient Known Plaintext Attack On Fea-M, Hongjun Wu, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Yi et al. have proposed a cipher called the fast encryption algorithm for multimedia (FEA-M). Recently Mihaljevi and Kohno pointed out that FEA-M is insecure. However, their attacks are not efficient: their chosen plaintext attack and known plaintext attack require 237-bit chosen plaintext and 260-bit known plaintext, respectively. In this paper we give an efficient known plaintext attack against FEA-M. Our attack requires only 228-bit known plaintext and about 233 XOR operations.

Telemedicine services involve transmission of patient data over open computer network, and thus confront serious security challenges when the consequences are a matter of life and death. In this paper, we introduce an image-based simulated system for kyphoplasty telesurgery, wherein special attention is given to the fine-grained security implementation issues. Various security requirements are formalized and corresponding solutions are presented. Consequently, we implement the system to work in a secure way, while taking efficiency as a premier consideration.

Stegfs: A Steganographic File System, Hwee Hwa Pang, Kian-Lee Tan, Xuan Zhou
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
While user access control and encryption can protect valuable data from passive observers, those techniques leave visible ciphertexts that are likely to alert an active adversary to the existence of the data, who can then compel an authorized user to disclose it. This paper introduces StegFS, a steganographic file system that aims to overcome that weakness by offering plausible deniability to owners of protected files. StegFS securely hides user-selected files in a file system so that, without the corresponding access keys, an attacker would not be able to deduce their existence, even if the attacker is thoroughly familiar with the …

A Deception Based Framework For The Application Of Deceptive Countermeasures In 802.11b Wireless Networks, Suen Yek
Theses : Honours
The advance of 802.11 b wireless networking has been beset by inherent and in-built security problems. Network security tools that are freely available may intercept network transmissions readily and stealthily, making organisations highly vulnerable to attack. Therefore, it is incumbent upon defending organisations to take initiative and implement proactive defences against common network attacks. Deception is an essential element of effective security that has been widely used in networks to understand attack methods and intrusions. However, little thought has been given to the type and the effectiveness of the deception. Deceptions deployed in nature, the military and in cyberspace were …
Defending Against Redirect Attacks In Mobile Ip, Robert H. Deng, Jianying Zhou, Feng Bao
Defending Against Redirect Attacks In Mobile Ip, Robert H. Deng, Jianying Zhou, Feng Bao
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The route optimization operation in Mobile IP Version 6 (MIPv6) allows direct routing from any correspondent node to any mobile node and thus eliminates the problem of "triangle routing" present in the base Mobile IP Version 4 (MIPv4) protocol. Route optimization, however, requires that a mobile node constantly inform its correspondent nodes about its new care-of addresses by sending them binding update messages. Unauthenticated or malicious binding updates open the door for intruders to perform redirect attacks, i.e., malicious acts which redirect traffic from correspondent nodes to locations chosen by intruders. How to protect binding update messages to defend against …
Cryptanalysis Of Some Hash Functions Based On Block Ciphers And Codes, Hongjun Wu, Feng Bao, Robert Huijie Deng
Cryptanalysis Of Some Hash Functions Based On Block Ciphers And Codes, Hongjun Wu, Feng Bao, Robert Huijie Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
At PKC 2000, Inoue and Sakurai proposed some methods to design hash functions from block ciphers and codes (block codes and convolutional codes). They claimed that their hash functions are secure: 2(d-1)m/2 encryptions are necessary to find a collision, where d and m are the minimal distance of the code and the block size of block cipher, respectively. However, we show in this paper that a collision could be found with about a.2m encryptions, where a is a small number.
Security Analysis And Improvement Of The Global Key Recovery System, Yanjiang Yang, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng
Security Analysis And Improvement Of The Global Key Recovery System, Yanjiang Yang, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Key recovery is a technology that allows the owner of encrypted data or a trusted third party to recover encrypted data, mostly by reconstructing lost decryption key. In [HLG99], Harn et al proposed a Global Key Recovery System (GKRS) that combines the functions of the key recovery authorities and the public key certification authorities (CAs). Among other features, user-dominance, i.e., a user is allowed to select his own public-private key pair and especially a public element for verifying the validity of the public-private key pair, is considered extremely important by [HLG99] for wide acceptance of GKRS. In this paper, we …
Performance Analysis Of A Secure Ieee 802.11b Wireless Network Incorporating Personal Digital Assistants, John L. Camp
Performance Analysis Of A Secure Ieee 802.11b Wireless Network Incorporating Personal Digital Assistants, John L. Camp
Theses and Dissertations
Research results of this thesis indicate very poor performance of a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) utilizing PDAs. Network throughput is adversely effected most by VPN implementation and slightly by increased file size. The client distance factor has virtually no effect on the throughput. The impact of each of these factor levels is small when compared to the magnitude of the overall mean throughput (<6%). The average network throughput with the PDA client is much lower than expected (=11,500 bps). This is attributed to several factors with degradation primarily resulting from limitations of the PDA hardware and O/S. Because of the low throughput values achieved (regardless if VPN is on or off), an operational WLAN with PDAs (as tested) is not feasible. Operational use of the network tested would require an in-depth analysis of the type of network traffic and performance required to maintain functionality. To deploy such a system, custom designed Winsock controls would need to be implemented to minimize limitations imposed by the PDA. As PDA technology continues to develop, future hardware and O/S functionality may provide a more robust platform for network communications. The battery life of the PDA and packet battery combination is observed to be about 164 minutes with additional jackets adding about 90 minutes each.
