Authentication definition Protocol architectures Cryptographic properties Freshness Types of attack on protocols Two-way authentication protocol attack The Diffie-Hellman key exchange attack Authentication protocol using a KDC
Outline
Authentication deals with the question of whether you are actually communicating with a specific process.
Authorization is concerned with what that process is permitted to do.
Authentication definition
Authentication deals with the question of whether you are actually communicating with a specific process.
Authorization is concerned with what that process is permitted to do.
Example:
Is this actually Scott's process (authentication)? Is Scott allowed to delete this file (authorization)?

The principals already share a secret key
An off-line server is used. Principals possess certified public keys
An on-line server is used. Each principal shares a key with a trusted server

A key transport protocol A key agreement protocol
Protocol architectures: method of session key generation
One of the principals generates the key and this key is then transferred to all protocol users (Ks in this example)

Protocol architectures: method of session key generation
Session key is a function of inputs by all protocol users
Confidentiality Data integrity Data origin authentication Non-repudiation
Cryptographic properties
Ensures that data is only available to those authorised to obtain it.Usually achieved through encryption/decryption.
Confidentiality Data integrity Data origin authentication Non-repudiation
Cryptographic properties
Ensures that data has not been altered by unauthorised entities.Usually achieved:• Use of hash functions in combination with encryption• Use of message authentication code to create a separate check field
Confidentiality Data integrity Data origin authentication Non-repudiation
Cryptographic properties
Guarantees the origin of data.Normally achieved by the same mechanisms like wehave in data integrity.
Confidentiality Data integrity Data origin authentication Non-repudiation
Cryptographic properties
Ensures that entities cannot deny sending data that they have committed to.Typically provided using a digital signature mechanism.
Timestamps Nonces (random challenges) Counters
FreshnessUser of the session key should be able to verify that key is new and not replayed from old sessions.
On recipients side if message is within an acceptable window of the current time then the message is regarded as fresh.
Timestamps Nonces (random challenges) Counters
FreshnessUser of the session key should be able to verify that key is new and not replayed from old sessions.
The message is fresh because the message cannot have been formed before the nonce was generated.
Timestamps Nonces (random challenges) Counters
FreshnessUser of the session key should be able to verify that key is new and not replayed from old sessions.
The sender and recipient maintain a synchronized counter whose value is sent with the message and then incremented.

Types of attack on protocols

Protocol interaction
Two-way authentication protocol
A, B are the identities of Alice and Bob.Ri - the challenge, where the subscript identifies the challenger.Ki - are keys, where i indicates the owner.
Two-way authentication protocol: reflection attack
Second session is opened (message 3), supplying the RB taken from message 2. Bob encrypts it and sends back KAB (RB) in message 4.
Two-way authentication protocol: solution of the problem
Both HMACs include values chosen by the sending party, something which Trudy cannot control.
• HMAC – hashed message authentication code• Data structured is hashed into the HMAC, for example using SHA-1.• Based on received information, Alice can compute the HMAC herself.
The Diffie-Hellman key exchange
n and g are two agreed large numbersx and y are large (say, 512-bit) private numbers generated by both sides
The trouble is, given only g mod n, it is hard to find x. All currently-known algorithms simply take too long, even on massively parallel supercomputers.

The Diffie-Hellman key exchange: man-in-the-middle attack
Alice thinks she is talking to Bob so she establishes a session key (with Trudy). So does Bob. Every message that Alice sends on the encrypted session is captured by Trudy, stored, modified if desired, and then (optionally) passed on to Bob. Similarly, in the other direction.
Authentication Using a Key Distribution Center: replay attack
KDC - Key distribution centerKs - generated session key
By snooping on the network, Trudy copies message 2 and the money-transfer request that follows it. Later, she replays both of them to Bob.
Authentication Using a Key Distribution Center: Needham-Schroeder authentication protocol
½ messages – ticket request (RA assures that message 2 is fresh, and not a replay)Message 4 - Bob sends back it to prove to Alice that she is talking to the real Bob
