In our case these approximations can be learned by a simple iterative procedure, which yields a unified and simple proof, achieving for any graph with density d and any approximation parameter the partition size. The novelty in our proof is: (a) a simple approach which yields both strong and weaker variant, and (b) improvements when d = o(1).

Simultaneously, a high amortized parallel area-time complexity (aAT) is incurred per evaluation. In practice, MHFs are used to limit the rate at which an adversary (using a custom computational device) can evaluate a security sensitive function that still occasionally needs to be evaluated by honest users (using an off-the-shelf general purpose device). The most prevalent examples of such sensitive functions are Key Derivation Functions (KDFs) and password hashing algorithms where rate limits help mitigate off-line dictionary attacks. As the honest users' inputs to these functions are often (low-entropy) passwords special attention is given to a class of side-channel resistant MHFs called iMHFs.\r\n\r\nEssentially all iMHFs can be viewed as some mode of operation (making n calls to some round function) given by a directed acyclic graph (DAG) with very low indegree. Recently, a combinatorial property of a DAG has been identified (called \"depth-robustness\") which results in good provable security for an iMHF based on that DAG. Depth-robust DAGs have also proven useful in other cryptographic applications. Unfortunately, up till now, all known very depth-robust DAGs are impractically complicated and little is known about their exact (i.e. non-asymptotic) depth-robustness both in theory and in practice.\r\n\r\nIn this work we build and analyze (both formally and empirically) several exceedingly simple and efficient to navigate practical DAGs for use in iMHFs and other applications. For each DAG we:\r\n*Prove that their depth-robustness is asymptotically maximal.\r\n*Prove bounds of at least 3 orders of magnitude better on their exact depth-robustness compared to known bounds for other practical iMHF.\r\n*Implement and empirically evaluate their depth-robustness and aAT against a variety of state-of-the art (and several new) depth-reduction and low aAT attacks. \r\nWe find that, against all attacks, the new DAGs perform significantly better in practice than Argon2i, the most widely deployed iMHF in practice.\r\n\r\nAlong the way we also improve the best known empirical attacks on the aAT of Argon2i by implementing and testing several heuristic versions of a (hitherto purely theoretical) depth-reduction attack. Finally, we demonstrate practicality of our constructions by modifying the Argon2i code base to use one of the new high aAT DAGs. Experimental benchmarks on a standard off-the-shelf CPU show that the new modifications do not adversely affect the impressive throughput of Argon2i (despite seemingly enjoying significantly higher aAT).\r\n"}],"department":[{"_id":"KrPi"}],"publisher":"ACM Press","title":"Practical graphs for optimal side-channel resistant memory-hard functions","publication_status":"published","status":"public","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"6527","year":"2017","oa_version":"Submitted Version","date_created":"2019-06-06T13:21:29Z","date_updated":"2021-01-12T08:07:53Z","author":[{"full_name":"Alwen, Joel F","id":"2A8DFA8C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Joel F","last_name":"Alwen"},{"last_name":"Blocki","first_name":"Jeremiah","full_name":"Blocki, Jeremiah"},{"first_name":"Ben","last_name":"Harsha","full_name":"Harsha, Ben"}],"scopus_import":1,"publication_identifier":{"isbn":["9781450349468"]},"month":"10","day":"30","page":"1001-1017","project":[{"grant_number":"682815","_id":"258AA5B2-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"H2020","name":"Teaching Old Crypto New Tricks"}],"quality_controlled":"1","citation":{"ama":"Alwen JF, Blocki J, Harsha B.

Extending the results of Acharya et al. (SODA'15) on estimating Rényi entropy, we present improved estimation techniques together with upper and lower bounds on the sample complexity. We show that, contrarily to estimating Rényi entropy where a sublinear (in the alphabet size) number of samples suffices, the sample complexity is heavily dependent on events occurring unlikely in q, and is unbounded in general (no matter what an estimation technique is used). For any divergence of integer order bigger than 1, we provide upper and lower bounds on the number of samples dependent on probabilities of p and q (the lower bounds hold for non-integer orders as well). We conclude that the worst-case sample complexity is polynomial in the alphabet size if and only if the probabilities of q are non-negligible. This gives theoretical insights into heuristics used in the applied literature to handle numerical instability, which occurs for small probabilities of q. Our result shows that they should be handled with care not only because of numerical issues, but also because of a blow up in the sample complexity.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"conference"},{"citation":{"chicago":"Pietrzak, Krzysztof Z, and Maciej Skórski. “Non Uniform Attacks against Pseudoentropy,” Vol. 80.

For estimating Renyi entropy of order alpha, up to constant accuracy and error probability, we show the following * Upper bounds n = O(1) 2^{(1-1/alpha)H_alpha} for integer alpha>1, as the worst case over distributions with Renyi entropy equal to H_alpha. * Lower bounds n = Omega(1) K^{1-1/alpha} for any real alpha>1, with the constant being an inverse polynomial of the accuracy, as the worst case over all distributions on K elements. Our upper bounds essentially replace the alphabet size by a factor exponential in the entropy, which offers improvements especially in low or medium entropy regimes (interesting for example in anomaly detection). As for the lower bounds, our proof explicitly shows how the complexity depends on both alphabet and accuracy, partially solving the open problem posted in previous works. The argument for upper bounds derives a clean identity for the variance of falling-power sum of a multinomial distribution. Our approach for lower bounds utilizes convex optimization to find a distribution with possibly worse estimation performance, and may be of independent interest as a tool to work with Le Cam’s two point method.

NMAC is a mode of operation which turns a fixed input-length keyed hash function f into a variable input-length function. A practical single-key variant of NMAC called HMAC is a very popular and widely deployed message authentication code (MAC). PMAC is a block-cipher based mode of operation, which also happens to be the most famous fully parallel MAC. NMAC was introduced by Bellare, Canetti and Krawczyk Crypto’96, who proved it to be a secure pseudorandom function (PRF), and thus also a MAC, under two assumptions. Unfortunately, for many instantiations of HMAC one of them has been found to be wrong. To restore the provable guarantees for NMAC , Bellare [Crypto’06] showed its security without this assumption. PMAC was introduced by Black and Rogaway at Eurocrypt 2002. If instantiated with a pseudorandom permutation over n -bit strings, PMAC constitutes a provably secure variable input-length PRF. For adversaries making q queries, each of length at most ` (in n -bit blocks), and of total length σ ≤ q` , the original paper proves an upper bound on the distinguishing advantage of O ( σ 2 / 2 n ), while the currently best bound is O ( qσ/ 2 n ). In this work we show that this bound is tight by giving an attack with advantage Ω( q 2 `/ 2 n ). In the PMAC construction one initially XORs a mask to every message block, where the mask for the i th block is computed as τ i := γ i · L , where L is a (secret) random value, and γ i is the i -th codeword of the Gray code. Our attack applies more generally to any sequence of γ i ’s which contains a large coset of a subgroup of GF (2 n ). As for NMAC , our first contribution is a simpler and uniform proof: If f is an ε -secure PRF (against q queries) and a δ - non-adaptively secure PRF (against q queries), then NMAC f is an ( ε + `qδ )-secure PRF against q queries of length at most ` blocks each. We also show that this ε + `qδ bound is basically tight by constructing an f for which an attack with advantage `qδ exists. Moreover, we analyze the PRF-security of a modification of NMAC called NI by An and Bellare that avoids the constant rekeying on multi-block messages in NMAC and allows for an information-theoretic analysis. We carry out such an analysis, obtaining a tight `q 2 / 2 c bound for this step, improving over the trivial bound of ` 2 q 2 / 2 c . Finally, we investigate, if the security of PMAC can be further improved by using τ i ’s that are k -wise independent, for k > 1 (the original has k = 1). We observe that the security of PMAC will not increase in general if k = 2, and then prove that the security increases to O ( q 2 / 2 n ), if the k = 4. Due to simple extension attacks, this is the best bound one can hope for, using any distribution on the masks. Whether k = 3 is already sufficient to get this level of security is left as an open problem. Keywords: Message authentication codes, Pseudorandom functions, HMAC, PMAC.

The existing PoS are based on rather sophisticated graph pebbling lower bounds. Much simpler and in several aspects more efficient schemes based on inverting random functions have been suggested, but they don’t give meaningful security guarantees due to existing time-memory trade-offs. In particular, Hellman showed that any permutation over a domain of size N can be inverted in time T by an algorithm that is given S bits of auxiliary information whenever (Formula presented). For functions Hellman gives a weaker attack with S2· T≈ N2 (e.g., S= T≈ N2/3). To prove lower bounds, one considers an adversary who has access to an oracle f: [ N] → [N] and can make T oracle queries. The best known lower bound is S· T∈ Ω(N) and holds for random functions and permutations. We construct functions that provably require more time and/or space to invert. Specifically, for any constant k we construct a function [N] → [N] that cannot be inverted unless Sk· T∈ Ω(Nk) (in particular, S= T≈ (Formula presented). Our construction does not contradict Hellman’s time-memory trade-off, because it cannot be efficiently evaluated in forward direction. However, its entire function table can be computed in time quasilinear in N, which is sufficient for the PoS application. Our simplest construction is built from a random function oracle g: [N] × [N] → [ N] and a random permutation oracle f: [N] → N] and is defined as h(x) = g(x, x′) where f(x) = π(f(x′)) with π being any involution without a fixed point, e.g. flipping all the bits. For this function we prove that any adversary who gets S bits of auxiliary information, makes at most T oracle queries, and inverts h on an ϵ fraction of outputs must satisfy S2· T∈ Ω(ϵ2N2).","lang":"eng"}],"citation":{"ama":"Abusalah HM, Alwen JF, Cohen B, Khilko D, Pietrzak KZ, Reyzin L.

A series of several recent works shows how to cleverly achieve adaptive security in several such scenarios including generalized selective decryption (Panjwani, TCC ’07 and Fuchsbauer et al., CRYPTO ’15), constrained PRFs (Fuchsbauer et al., ASIACRYPT ’14), and Yao garbled circuits (Jafargholi and Wichs, TCC ’16b). Although the above works expressed vague intuition that they share a common technique, the connection was never made precise. In this work we present a new framework that connects all of these works and allows us to present them in a unified and simplified fashion. Moreover, we use the framework to derive a new result for adaptively secure secret sharing over access structures defined via monotone circuits. We envision that further applications will follow in the future. Underlying our framework is the following simple idea. It is well known that selective security, where the adversary commits to n-bits of information about his future choices, automatically implies adaptive security at the cost of amplifying the adversary’s advantage by a factor of up to 2n. However, in some cases the proof of selective security proceeds via a sequence of hybrids, where each pair of adjacent hybrids locally only requires some smaller partial information consisting of m ≪ n bits. The partial information needed might be completely different between different pairs of hybrids, and if we look across all the hybrids we might rely on the entire n-bit commitment. Nevertheless, the above is sufficient to prove adaptive security, at the cost of amplifying the adversary’s advantage by a factor of only 2m ≪ 2n. In all of our examples using the above framework, the different hybrids are captured by some sort of a graph pebbling game and the amount of information that the adversary needs to commit to in each pair of hybrids is bounded by the maximum number of pebbles in play at any point in time. Therefore, coming up with better strategies for proving adaptive security translates to various pebbling strategies for different types of graphs."}],"type":"conference","alternative_title":["LNCS"],"oa_version":"Submitted Version","user_id":"3E5EF7F0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"637","title":"Be adaptive avoid overcommitting","status":"public","intvolume":" 10401","day":"01","scopus_import":1,"date_published":"2017-01-01T00:00:00Z","citation":{"apa":"Jafargholi, Z., Kamath Hosdurg, C., Klein, K., Komargodski, I., Pietrzak, K.

The adversary, within certain resources, cannot win with probability much better than 0 (for unpredictability applications, like one-way functions) or much better than 1/2 (indistinguishability applications for instance encryption schemes). In so called squared-friendly applications the winning probability of the adversary, for different values of the application secret randomness, is not only close to 0 or 1/2 on average, but also concentrated in the sense that its second central moment is small. The class of squared-friendly applications, which contains all unpredictability applications and many indistinguishability applications, is particularly important for key derivation. Barak et al. observed that for square-friendly applications one can beat the "RT-bound", extracting secure keys with significantly smaller entropy loss. In turn Dodis and Yu showed that in squared-friendly applications one can directly use a "weak" key, which has only high entropy, as a secure key. In this paper we give sharp lower bounds on square security assuming security for "weak" keys. We show that any application which is either (a) secure with weak keys or (b) allows for entropy savings for keys derived by universal hashing, must be square-friendly. Quantitatively, our lower bounds match the positive results of Dodis and Yu and Barak et al. (TCC\\'13, CRYPTO\\'11) Hence, they can be understood as a general characterization of squared-friendly applications. While the positive results on squared-friendly applications where derived by one clever application of the Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality, for tight lower bounds we need more machinery. In our approach we use convex optimization techniques and some theory of circular matrices.","lang":"eng"}],"intvolume":" 66","title":"Lower bounds on key derivation for square-friendly applications","status":"public","_id":"1174","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","oa_version":"Submitted Version"},{"abstract":[{"text":"The algorithm Argon2i-B of Biryukov, Dinu and Khovratovich is currently being considered by the IRTF (Internet Research Task Force) as a new de-facto standard for password hashing. An older version (Argon2i-A) of the same algorithm was chosen as the winner of the recent Password Hashing Competition. An important competitor to Argon2i-B is the recently introduced Balloon Hashing (BH) algorithm of Corrigan-Gibs, Boneh and Schechter. A key security desiderata for any such algorithm is that evaluating it (even using a custom device) requires a large amount of memory amortized across multiple instances. Alwen and Blocki (CRYPTO 2016) introduced a class of theoretical attacks against Argon2i-A and BH. While these attacks yield large asymptotic reductions in the amount of memory, it was not, a priori, clear if (1) they can be extended to the newer Argon2i-B, (2) the attacks are effective on any algorithm for practical parameter ranges (e.g., 1GB of memory) and (3) if they can be effectively instantiated against any algorithm under realistic hardware constrains. In this work we answer all three of these questions in the affirmative for all three algorithms. This is also the first work to analyze the security of Argon2i-B. In more detail, we extend the theoretical attacks of Alwen and Blocki (CRYPTO 2016) to the recent Argon2i-B proposal demonstrating severe asymptotic deficiencies in its security. Next we introduce several novel heuristics for improving the attack's concrete memory efficiency even when on-chip memory bandwidth is bounded. We then simulate our attacks on randomly sampled Argon2i-A, Argon2i-B and BH instances and measure the resulting memory consumption for various practical parameter ranges and for a variety of upperbounds on the amount of parallelism available to the attacker. Finally we describe, implement, and test a new heuristic for applying the Alwen-Blocki attack to functions employing a technique developed by Corrigan-Gibs et al. for improving concrete security of memory-hard functions. We analyze the collected data and show the effects various parameters have on the memory consumption of the attack. In particular, we can draw several interesting conclusions about the level of security provided by these functions. · For the Alwen-Blocki attack to fail against practical memory parameters, Argon2i-B must be instantiated with more than 10 passes on memory - beyond the \"paranoid\" parameter setting in the current IRTF proposal. · The technique of Corrigan-Gibs for improving security can also be overcome by the Alwen-Blocki attack under realistic hardware constraints. · On a positive note, both the asymptotic and concrete security of Argon2i-B seem to improve on that of Argon2i-A.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"conference","oa_version":"Submitted Version","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","_id":"1176","title":"Towards practical attacks on Argon2i and balloon hashing","status":"public","day":"03","article_processing_charge":"No","scopus_import":"1","date_published":"2017-07-03T00:00:00Z","citation":{"ama":"Alwen JF, Blocki J.

The notion of (multiple) forking is a useful abstraction from the actual simulation of cryptographic scheme to the adversary in a security reduction, and is achieved through the intermediary of a so-called wrapper algorithm. Multiple forking has turned out to be a useful tool in the security argument of several cryptographic protocols. However, a reduction employing multiple forking incurs a significant degradation of (Formula presented.) , where (Formula presented.) denotes the upper bound on the underlying random oracle calls and (Formula presented.) , the number of forkings. In this work we take a closer look at the reasons for the degradation with a tighter security bound in mind. We nail down the exact set of conditions for success in the multiple forking game. A careful analysis of the cryptographic schemes and corresponding security reduction employing multiple forking leads to the formulation of ‘dependence’ and ‘independence’ conditions pertaining to the output of the wrapper in different rounds. Based on the (in)dependence conditions we propose a general framework of multiple forking and a General Multiple Forking Lemma. Leveraging (in)dependence to the full allows us to improve the degradation factor in the multiple forking game by a factor of (Formula presented.). By implication, the cost of a single forking involving two random oracles (augmented forking) matches that involving a single random oracle (elementary forking).

Specific instances of this problem underlie both proofs of space [Dziembowski et al. CRYPTO’15] as well as popular memory-hard functions like scrypt. As our main tool, we introduce the new notion of a probabilistic parallel entangled pebbling game, a new type of combinatorial pebbling game on a graph, which is closely related to the labeling game on the same graph. As a first application of our framework, we prove that for scrypt, when the underlying hash function is invoked n times, the cumulative memory complexity (CMC) (a notion recently introduced by Alwen and Serbinenko (STOC’15) to capture amortized memory-hardness for parallel adversaries) is at least Ω(w · (n/ log(n))2). This bound holds for adversaries that can store many natural functions of the labels (e.g., linear combinations), but still not arbitrary functions thereof. We then introduce and study a combinatorial quantity, and show how a sufficiently small upper bound on it (which we conjecture) extends our CMC bound for scrypt to hold against arbitrary adversaries. We also show that such an upper bound solves the main open problem for proofs-of-space protocols: namely, establishing that the time complexity of computing the label of a random node in a graph on n nodes (given an initial kw-bit state) reduces tightly to the time complexity for black pebbling on the same graph (given an initial k-node pebbling).","lang":"eng"}],"page":"358 - 387","citation":{"ista":"Alwen JF, Chen B, Kamath Hosdurg C, Kolmogorov V, Pietrzak KZ, Tessaro S. 2016.

Technically we would like that any (generalized) circuit for evaluating an iMHF fσ,τ has area × time (AT) complexity at Θ(σ2 ∗ τ). A data-independent MHF (iMHF) has the added property that it can be computed with almost optimal memory and time complexity by an algorithm which accesses memory in a pattern independent of the input value. Such functions can be specified by fixing a directed acyclic graph (DAG) G on n = Θ(σ ∗ τ) nodes representing its computation graph. In this work we develop new tools for analyzing iMHFs. First we define and motivate a new complexity measure capturing the amount of energy (i.e. electricity) required to compute a function. We argue that, in practice, this measure is at least as important as the more traditional AT-complexity. Next we describe an algorithm A for repeatedly evaluating an iMHF based on an arbitrary DAG G. We upperbound both its energy and AT complexities per instance evaluated in terms of a certain combinatorial property of G. Next we instantiate our attack for several general classes of DAGs which include those underlying many of the most important iMHF candidates in the literature. In particular, we obtain the following results which hold for all choices of parameters σ and τ (and thread-count) such that n = σ ∗ τ. -The Catena-Dragonfly function of [FLW13] has AT and energy complexities O(n1.67). -The Catena-Butterfly function of [FLW13] has complexities is O(n1.67). -The Double-Buffer and the Linear functions of [CGBS16] both have complexities in O(n1.67). -The Argon2i function of [BDK15] (winner of the Password Hashing Competition [PHC]) has complexities O(n7/4 log(n)). -The Single-Buffer function of [CGBS16] has complexities O(n7/4 log(n)). -Any iMHF can be computed by an algorithm with complexities O(n2/ log1 −ε(n)) for all ε > 0. In particular when τ = 1 this shows that the goal of constructing an iMHF with AT-complexity Θ(σ2 ∗ τ ) is unachievable. Along the way we prove a lemma upper-bounding the depth-robustness of any DAG which may prove to be of independent interest.","lang":"eng"}],"publist_id":"5876"},{"day":"01","scopus_import":1,"date_published":"2016-05-01T00:00:00Z","citation":{"mla":"Gazi, Peter, and Stefano Tessaro.

Such constructions are very appealing, as efficient software/hardware implementations of SHA-3 can easily be translated into a PRNG in a nearly black-box way. The only existing sponge-based construction, proposed by Bertoni et al. (CHES 2010), fails to achieve the security notion of robustness recently considered by Dodis et al. (CCS 2013), for two reasons: (1) The construction is deterministic, and thus there are high-entropy input distributions on which the construction fails to extract random bits, and (2) The construction is not forward secure, and presented solutions aiming at restoring forward security have not been rigorously analyzed. We propose a seeded variant of Bertoni et al.’s PRNG with input which we prove secure in the sense of robustness, delivering in particular concrete security bounds. On the way, we make what we believe to be an important conceptual contribution, developing a variant of the security framework of Dodis et al. tailored at the ideal permutation model that captures PRNG security in settings where the weakly random inputs are provided from a large class of possible adversarial samplers which are also allowed to query the random permutation. As a further application of our techniques, we also present an efficient sponge-based key-derivation function (which can be instantiated from SHA-3 in a black-box fashion), which we also prove secure when fed with samples from permutation-dependent distributions.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"conference","alternative_title":["LNCS"],"oa_version":"Preprint","user_id":"3E5EF7F0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"1366","intvolume":" 9665","title":"Provably robust sponge-based PRNGs and KDFs","status":"public","month":"05","doi":"10.1007/978-3-662-49890-3_4","conference":{"name":"EUROCRYPT: Theory and Applications of Cryptographic Techniques","end_date":"2016-05-12","start_date":"2016-05-08","location":"Vienna, Austria"},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/169/20160219:201940","open_access":"1"}],"oa":1,"project":[{"grant_number":"259668","_id":"258C570E-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"FP7","name":"Provable Security for Physical Cryptography"}],"quality_controlled":"1","publist_id":"5872","ec_funded":1,"author":[{"full_name":"Gazi, Peter","last_name":"Gazi","first_name":"Peter","id":"3E0BFE38-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"last_name":"Tessaro","first_name":"Stefano","full_name":"Tessaro, Stefano"}],"volume":9665,"date_updated":"2021-01-12T06:50:11Z","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:51:36Z","year":"2016","publisher":"Springer","department":[{"_id":"KrPi"}],"publication_status":"published"},{"scopus_import":1,"day":"01","month":"04","quality_controlled":"1","page":"363 - 421","publication":"Journal of Cryptology","citation":{"ama":"Abe M, Fuchsbauer G, Groth J, Haralambiev K, Ohkubo M.

On the other hand, ad hoc constructions may yield efficient protocols at the cost of losing conceptual simplicity. We suggest a new design paradigm, structure-preserving cryptography, that provides a way to construct modular protocols with reasonable efficiency while retaining conceptual simplicity. A cryptographic scheme over a bilinear group is called structure-preserving if its public inputs and outputs consist of elements from the bilinear groups and their consistency can be verified by evaluating pairing-product equations. As structure-preserving schemes smoothly interoperate with each other, they are useful as building blocks in modular design of cryptographic applications. This paper introduces structure-preserving commitment and signature schemes over bilinear groups with several desirable properties. The commitment schemes include homomorphic, trapdoor and length-reducing commitments to group elements, and the structure-preserving signature schemes are the first ones that yield constant-size signatures on multiple group elements. A structure-preserving signature scheme is called automorphic if the public keys lie in the message space, which cannot be achieved by compressing inputs via a cryptographic hash function, as this would destroy the mathematical structure we are trying to preserve. Automorphic signatures can be used for building certification chains underlying privacy-preserving protocols. Among a vast number of applications of structure-preserving protocols, we present an efficient round-optimal blind-signature scheme and a group signature scheme with an efficient and concurrently secure protocol for enrolling new members."}],"issue":"2","publist_id":"5579","status":"public","publication_status":"published","title":"Structure preserving signatures and commitments to group elements","intvolume":" 29","department":[{"_id":"KrPi"}],"publisher":"Springer","user_id":"3E5EF7F0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"1592","year":"2016","acknowledgement":"The authors would like to thank the anonymous reviewers of this paper.

Furthermore, there is a way to set up the hash key hk to make it statistically binding on some arbitrary hidden position i, meaning that: (1) the digest y completely determines the i’th bit (or symbol) of x so that all pre-images of y have the same value in the i’th position, (2) it is computationally infeasible to distinguish the position i on which hk is statistically binding from any other position i’. Lastly, the hash should have a local opening property analogous to Merkle-Tree hashing, meaning that given x and y = H hk (x) it should be possible to create a short proof π that certifies the value of the i’th bit (or symbol) of x without having to provide the entire input x. A similar primitive called a positional accumulator, introduced by Koppula, Lewko and Waters (STOC ’15) further supports dynamic updates of the hashed value. These tools, which are interesting in their own right, also serve as one of the main technical components in several recent works building advanced applications from indistinguishability obfuscation (iO).\r\n\r\nThe prior constructions of SSB hashing and positional accumulators required fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) and iO respectively. In this work, we give new constructions of these tools based on well studied number-theoretic assumptions such as DDH, Phi-Hiding and DCR, as well as a general construction from lossy/injective functions.","lang":"eng"}],"project":[{"name":"Provable Security for Physical Cryptography","call_identifier":"FP7","_id":"258C570E-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"259668"}],"quality_controlled":"1","oa":1,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1007/978-3-662-48797-6_6","conference":{"name":"ASIACRYPT: Theory and Application of Cryptology and Information Security","end_date":"2015-12-03","location":"Auckland, New Zealand","start_date":"2015-11-29"},"month":"01","department":[{"_id":"KrPi"}],"publisher":"Springer","publication_status":"published","year":"2016","volume":9452,"date_updated":"2021-01-12T06:52:16Z","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:53:16Z","author":[{"first_name":"Tatsuaki","last_name":"Okamoto","full_name":"Okamoto, Tatsuaki"},{"last_name":"Pietrzak","first_name":"Krzysztof Z","orcid":"0000-0002-9139-1654","id":"3E04A7AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Pietrzak, Krzysztof Z"},{"last_name":"Waters","first_name":"Brent","full_name":"Waters, Brent"},{"full_name":"Wichs, Daniel","last_name":"Wichs","first_name":"Daniel"}],"ec_funded":1,"publist_id":"5497","file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:45:08Z"},{"tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"oa":1,"quality_controlled":"1","project":[{"name":"Provable Security for Physical Cryptography","call_identifier":"FP7","_id":"258C570E-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"259668"}],"doi":"10.1007/s00037-015-0120-9","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"month":"09","acknowledgement":"This work was partly funded by the European Research Council under ERC Starting Grant 259668-PSPC and ERC Advanced Grant 321310-PERCY.\r\n","year":"2016","publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"KrPi"}],"publisher":"Springer","author":[{"last_name":"Krenn","first_name":"Stephan","orcid":"0000-0003-2835-9093","id":"329FCCF0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Krenn, Stephan"},{"first_name":"Krzysztof Z","last_name":"Pietrzak","id":"3E04A7AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-9139-1654","full_name":"Pietrzak, Krzysztof Z"},{"full_name":"Wadia, Akshay","last_name":"Wadia","first_name":"Akshay"},{"full_name":"Wichs, Daniel","first_name":"Daniel","last_name":"Wichs"}],"related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"earlier_version","status":"public","id":"2940"}]},"date_created":"2018-12-11T11:52:16Z","date_updated":"2023-02-23T11:05:09Z","volume":25,"file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:44:56Z","ec_funded":1,"publist_id":"5715","publication":"Computational Complexity","citation":{"ama":"Krenn S, Pietrzak KZ, Wadia A, Wichs D.

That is, by conditioning on A the entropy of X can decrease by at most the bitlength |A| of A. Such chain rules are known to hold for some computational entropy notions like Yao’s and unpredictability-entropy. For HILL entropy, the computational analogue of min-entropy, the chain rule is of special interest and has found many applications, including leakage-resilient cryptography, deterministic encryption, and memory delegation. These applications rely on restricted special cases of the chain rule. Whether the chain rule for conditional HILL entropy holds in general was an open problem for which we give a strong negative answer: we construct joint distributions (X,Z,A), where A is a distribution over a single bit, such that the HILL entropy H HILL (X|Z) is large but H HILL (X|Z,A) is basically zero.\r\n\r\nOur counterexample just makes the minimal assumption that NP⊈P/poly.

[GGSW13]. A WE scheme is defined for some NP language L and lets a sender encrypt messages relative to instances x. A ciphertext for x can be decrypted using w witnessing x ∈ L, but hides the message if x ∈ L. Garg et al. construct WE from multilinear maps and give another construction [GGH+13b] using indistinguishability obfuscation (iO) for circuits. Due to the reliance on such heavy tools, WE can cur- rently hardly be implemented on powerful hardware and will unlikely be realizable on constrained devices like smart cards any time soon. We construct a WE scheme where encryption is done by simply computing a Naor-Yung ciphertext (two CPA encryptions and a NIZK proof). To achieve this, our scheme has a setup phase, which outputs public parameters containing an obfuscated circuit (only required for decryption), two encryption keys and a common reference string (used for encryption). This setup need only be run once, and the parame- ters can be used for arbitrary many encryptions. Our scheme can also be turned into a functional WE scheme, where a message is encrypted w.r.t. a statement and a function f, and decryption with a witness w yields f (m, w). Our construction is inspired by the functional encryption scheme by Garg et al. and we prove (selective) security assuming iO and statistically simulation-sound NIZK. We give a construction of the latter in bilinear groups and combining it with ElGamal encryption, our ciphertexts are of size 1.3 kB at a 128-bit security level and can be computed on a smart card.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"conference","alternative_title":["LNCS"],"pubrep_id":"765","file":[{"file_id":"5273","relation":"main_file","checksum":"34fa9ce681da845a1ba945ba3dc57867","date_created":"2018-12-12T10:17:20Z","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:44:39Z","access_level":"open_access","file_name":"IST-2017-765-v1+1_838.pdf","creator":"system","content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":515000}],"oa_version":"Submitted Version","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"1229","status":"public","title":"Offline witness encryption","ddc":["005","600"],"intvolume":" 9696"},{"month":"02","quality_controlled":"1","project":[{"_id":"258C570E-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"259668","call_identifier":"FP7","name":"Provable Security for Physical Cryptography"}],"oa":1,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"conference":{"name":"CT-RSA: Topics in Cryptology","location":"San Francisco, CA, USA","start_date":"2016-02-29","end_date":"2016-03-04"},"doi":"10.1007/978-3-319-29485-8_24","file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:44:41Z","ec_funded":1,"publist_id":"6097","publication_status":"published","publisher":"Springer","department":[{"_id":"KrPi"}],"acknowledgement":"Supported by the European Research Council, ERC Starting Grant (259668-PSPC).","year":"2016","date_updated":"2023-09-07T12:30:22Z","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:50:52Z","volume":9610,"author":[{"full_name":"Abusalah, Hamza M","first_name":"Hamza M","last_name":"Abusalah","id":"40297222-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"full_name":"Fuchsbauer, Georg","id":"46B4C3EE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Georg","last_name":"Fuchsbauer"},{"full_name":"Pietrzak, Krzysztof Z","orcid":"0000-0002-9139-1654","id":"3E04A7AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Pietrzak","first_name":"Krzysztof Z"}],"related_material":{"record":[{"id":"83","status":"public","relation":"dissertation_contains"}]},"scopus_import":1,"day":"02","has_accepted_license":"1","page":"413 - 428","citation":{"short":"H.M.

They use their CPRF to build broadcast encryption and the first ID-based non-interactive key exchange for an unbounded number of users. Their constrained keys are obfuscated circuits and are therefore large. In this work we drastically reduce the key size and define a constrained key for a Turing machine M as a short signature on M. For this, we introduce a new signature primitive with constrained signing keys that let one only sign certain messages, while forging a signature on others is hard even when knowing the coins for key generation."}],"alternative_title":["LNCS"],"type":"conference","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"conference":{"name":"ACNS: Applied Cryptography and Network Security","end_date":"2016-06-22","location":"Guildford, UK","start_date":"2016-06-19"},"doi":"10.1007/978-3-319-39555-5_24","quality_controlled":"1","project":[{"_id":"258C570E-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"259668","call_identifier":"FP7","name":"Provable Security for Physical Cryptography"},{"name":"Teaching Old Crypto New Tricks","call_identifier":"H2020","_id":"258AA5B2-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"682815"}],"oa":1,"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/279.pdf","open_access":"1"}],"month":"01","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:50:52Z","date_updated":"2023-09-07T12:30:22Z","volume":9696,"author":[{"first_name":"Hamza M","last_name":"Abusalah","id":"40297222-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Abusalah, Hamza M"},{"last_name":"Fuchsbauer","first_name":"Georg","id":"46B4C3EE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Fuchsbauer, Georg"}],"related_material":{"record":[{"id":"83","relation":"dissertation_contains","status":"public"}]},"publication_status":"published","publisher":"Springer","department":[{"_id":"KrPi"}],"acknowledgement":"H.

Using this approach, publicly available meta-data may inadvertently leak information on the access policy that is enforced by cryptography, which renders cryptographic access control unusable in settings where this information is highly sensitive. We begin to address this problem by presenting rigorous definitions for policy privacy in cryptographic access control. For concreteness we set our results in the model of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), where we identify and formalize several different flavors of privacy, however, our framework should serve as inspiration for other models of access control. Based on our insights we propose a new system which significantly improves on the privacy properties of state-of-the-art constructions. Our design is based on a novel type of privacy-preserving attribute-based encryption, which we introduce and show how to instantiate. We present our results in the context of a cryptographic RBAC system by Ferrara et al. (CSF'13), which uses cryptography to control read access to files, while write access is still delegated to trusted monitors. We give an extension of the construction that permits cryptographic control over write access. Our construction assumes that key management uses out-of-band channels between the policy enforcer and the users but eliminates completely the need for monitoring read/write access to the data.","lang":"eng"}],"publist_id":"5722","ec_funded":1,"publication_status":"published","title":"Policy privacy in cryptographic access control","status":"public","department":[{"_id":"KrPi"}],"publisher":"IEEE","_id":"1474","year":"2015","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","date_updated":"2021-01-12T06:50:59Z","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:52:14Z","oa_version":"Submitted Version","author":[{"last_name":"Ferrara","first_name":"Anna","full_name":"Ferrara, Anna"},{"full_name":"Fuchsbauer, Georg","first_name":"Georg","last_name":"Fuchsbauer","id":"46B4C3EE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"full_name":"Liu, Bin","first_name":"Bin","last_name":"Liu"},{"full_name":"Warinschi, Bogdan","first_name":"Bogdan","last_name":"Warinschi"}]},{"citation":{"ama":"Banerjee A, Fuchsbauer G, Peikert C, Pietrzak KZ, Stevens S.

A key-homomorphic PRF has the additional feature that for any keys k, k' and any input x, we have F(k+k', x) = F(k, x)⊕F(k', x) for some group operations +,⊕ on K and Y, respectively. A constrained PRF for a family of setsS ⊆ P(X) has the property that, given any key k and set S ∈ S, one can efficiently compute a “constrained” key kS that enables evaluation of F(k, x) on all inputs x ∈ S, while the values F(k, x) for x /∈ S remain pseudorandom even given kS. In this paper we construct PRFs that are simultaneously constrained and key homomorphic, where the homomorphic property holds even for constrained keys. We first show that the multilinear map-based bit-fixing and circuit-constrained PRFs of Boneh and Waters (Asiacrypt 2013) can be modified to also be keyhomomorphic. We then show that the LWE-based key-homomorphic PRFs of Banerjee and Peikert (Crypto 2014) are essentially already prefix-constrained PRFs, using a (non-obvious) definition of constrained keys and associated group operation. Moreover, the constrained keys themselves are pseudorandom, and the constraining and evaluation functions can all be computed in low depth. As an application of key-homomorphic constrained PRFs,we construct a proxy re-encryption schemewith fine-grained access control. This scheme allows storing encrypted data on an untrusted server, where each file can be encrypted relative to some attributes, so that only parties whose constrained keys match the attributes can decrypt. Moreover, the server can re-key (arbitrary subsets of) the ciphertexts without learning anything about the plaintexts, thus permitting efficient and finegrained revocation.","lang":"eng"}],"oa":1,"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/180","open_access":"1"}],"project":[{"grant_number":"259668","_id":"258C570E-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Provable Security for Physical Cryptography","call_identifier":"FP7"}],"quality_controlled":"1","doi":"10.1007/978-3-662-46497-7_2","conference":{"name":"TCC: Theory of Cryptography Conference","start_date":"2015-03-23","location":"Warsaw, Poland","end_date":"2015-03-25"},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_identifier":{"isbn":["978-3-662-46496-0"]},"month":"03","year":"2015","publisher":"Springer Nature","department":[{"_id":"KrPi"}],"publication_status":"published","author":[{"full_name":"Banerjee, Abishek","first_name":"Abishek","last_name":"Banerjee"},{"id":"46B4C3EE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Georg","last_name":"Fuchsbauer","full_name":"Fuchsbauer, Georg"},{"first_name":"Chris","last_name":"Peikert","full_name":"Peikert, Chris"},{"full_name":"Pietrzak, Krzysztof Z","orcid":"0000-0002-9139-1654","id":"3E04A7AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Pietrzak","first_name":"Krzysztof Z"},{"first_name":"Sophie","last_name":"Stevens","full_name":"Stevens, Sophie"}],"volume":9015,"date_created":"2018-12-11T11:53:14Z","date_updated":"2022-02-03T08:41:46Z","ec_funded":1,"publist_id":"5505","file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:45:08Z"},{"quality_controlled":"1","project":[{"name":"Provable Security for Physical Cryptography","call_identifier":"FP7","_id":"258C570E-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"259668"}],"tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"oa":1,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"conference":{"end_date":"2015-08-20","location":"Santa Barbara, CA, USA","start_date":"2015-08-16","name":"CRYPTO: International Cryptology Conference"},"doi":"10.1007/978-3-662-47989-6_29","month":"08","publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"KrPi"}],"publisher":"Springer","year":"2015","date_updated":"2021-01-12T06:52:14Z","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:53:14Z","volume":9215,"author":[{"last_name":"Fuchsbauer","first_name":"Georg","id":"46B4C3EE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Fuchsbauer, Georg"},{"full_name":"Jafargholi, Zahra","first_name":"Zahra","last_name":"Jafargholi"},{"id":"3E04A7AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-9139-1654","first_name":"Krzysztof Z","last_name":"Pietrzak","full_name":"Pietrzak, Krzysztof Z"}],"file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:45:08Z","publist_id":"5502","ec_funded":1,"page":"601 - 620","citation":{"ista":"Fuchsbauer G, Jafargholi Z, Pietrzak KZ. 2015.

In the GSD game there are n keys k1,..., kn, which the adversary may adaptively corrupt (learn); moreover, it can ask for encryptions Encki (kj) of keys under other keys. The adversary’s task is to distinguish keys (which it cannot trivially compute) from random. Proving the hardness of GSD assuming only IND-CPA security of Enc is surprisingly hard. Using “complexity leveraging” loses a factor exponential in n, which makes the proof practically meaningless. We can think of the GSD game as building a graph on n vertices, where we add an edge i → j when the adversary asks for an encryption of kj under ki. If restricted to graphs of depth ℓ, Panjwani gave a reduction that loses only a factor exponential in ℓ (not n). To date, this is the only non-trivial result known for GSD. In this paper we give almost-polynomial reductions for large classes of graphs. Most importantly, we prove the security of the GSD game restricted to trees losing only a quasi-polynomial factor n3 log n+5. Trees are an important special case capturing real-world protocols like the LKH protocol. Our new bound improves upon Panjwani’s on some LKH variants proposed in the literature where the underlying tree is not balanced. Our proof builds on ideas from the “nested hybrids” technique recently introduced by Fuchsbauer et al.

A natural approach to adjust the complexity of a hash function is to iterate it c times, for some parameter c, in the hope that any query to the scheme requires c evaluations of the underlying hash function. However, results by Dodis et al. (Crypto 2012) imply that plain iteration falls short of achieving this goal, and designing schemes which provably have such a desirable property remained an open problem. This paper formalizes explicitly what it means for a given scheme to amplify the query complexity of a hash function. In the random oracle model, the goal of a secure query-complexity amplifier (QCA) scheme is captured as transforming, in the sense of indifferentiability, a random oracle allowing R queries (for the adversary) into one provably allowing only r < R queries. Turned around, this means that making r queries to the scheme requires at least R queries to the actual random oracle. Second, a new scheme, called collision-free iteration, is proposed and proven to achieve c-fold QCA for both the honest parties and the adversary, for any fixed parameter c."}],"status":"public","title":"Query-complexity amplification for random oracles","intvolume":" 9063","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"1644","oa_version":"Submitted Version","scopus_import":1,"day":"01","page":"159 - 180","citation":{"short":"G.

We present a construction of practically efficient round-optimal blind signatures in the standard model. It is conceptually simple and builds on the recent structure-preserving signatures on equivalence classes (SPSEQ) from Asiacrypt’14. While the traditional notion of blindness follows from standard assumptions, we prove blindness under adversarially chosen keys under an interactive variant of DDH. However, we neither require non-uniform assumptions nor complexity leveraging. We then show how to extend our construction to partially blind signatures and to blind signatures on message vectors, which yield a construction of one-show anonymous credentials à la “anonymous credentials light” (CCS’13) in the standard model.

Despite nearly two decades of research, their exact security still remains far from understood in many different contexts. Indeed, recent works have re-surfaced interest for {\\em generic} attacks, i.e., attacks that treat the compression function of the underlying hash function as a black box.\r\n\r\nGeneric security can be proved in a model where the underlying compression function is modeled as a random function -- yet, to date, the question of proving tight, non-trivial bounds on the generic security of HMAC/NMAC even as a PRF remains a challenging open question.\r\n\r\nIn this paper, we ask the question of whether a small modification to HMAC and NMAC can allow us to exactly characterize the security of the resulting constructions, while only incurring little penalty with respect to efficiency. To this end, we present simple variants of NMAC and HMAC, for which we prove tight bounds on the generic PRF security, expressed in terms of numbers of construction and compression function queries necessary to break the construction. All of our constructions are obtained via a (near) {\\em black-box} modification of NMAC and HMAC, which can be interpreted as an initial step of key-dependent message pre-processing.\r\n\r\nWhile our focus is on PRF security, a further attractive feature of our new constructions is that they clearly defeat all recent generic attacks against properties such as state recovery and universal forgery. These exploit properties of the so-called ``functional graph'' which are not directly accessible in our new constructions.

This approach has the inherent limitation that from a source with k bits of unpredictability entropy one can derive a key of length (and thus HILL entropy) at most k−2log(1/ϵ) bits. In many settings, e.g. when dealing with biometric data, such a 2log(1/ϵ) bit entropy loss in not an option. Our main technical contribution is a theorem that states that in the high entropy regime, unpredictability implies HILL entropy. Concretely, any variable K with |K|−d bits of unpredictability entropy has the same amount of so called metric entropy (against real-valued, deterministic distinguishers), which is known to imply the same amount of HILL entropy. The loss in circuit size in this argument is exponential in the entropy gap d, and thus this result only applies for small d (i.e., where the size of distinguishers considered is exponential in d).\r\n\r\nTo overcome the above restriction, we investigate if it’s possible to first “condense” unpredictability entropy and make the entropy gap small. We show that any source with k bits of unpredictability can be condensed into a source of length k with k−3 bits of unpredictability entropy. Our condenser simply “abuses" the GL construction and derives a k bit key from a source with k bits of unpredicatibily. The original GL theorem implies nothing when extracting that many bits, but we show that in this regime, GL still behaves like a “condenser" for unpredictability. This result comes with two caveats (1) the loss in circuit size is exponential in k and (2) we require that the source we start with has no HILL entropy (equivalently, one can efficiently check if a guess is correct). We leave it as an intriguing open problem to overcome these restrictions or to prove they’re inherent.","lang":"eng"}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"1650","title":"Condensed unpredictability ","ddc":["000","005"],"status":"public","intvolume":" 9134","pubrep_id":"675","oa_version":"Published Version","file":[{"file_id":"4693","relation":"main_file","checksum":"e808c7eecb631336fc9f9bf2e8d4ecae","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:45:08Z","date_created":"2018-12-12T10:08:32Z","access_level":"open_access","file_name":"IST-2016-675-v1+1_384.pdf","creator":"system","content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":525503}],"scopus_import":1,"day":"20","has_accepted_license":"1","citation":{"chicago":"Skórski, Maciej, Alexander Golovnev, and Krzysztof Z Pietrzak. “Condensed Unpredictability ,” 9134:1046–57.

A plethora of e-cash constructions has been proposed in the literature; however, these traditional e-cash schemes only allow coins to be transferred once between users and merchants. Ideally, we would like users to be able to transfer coins between each other multiple times before deposit, as happens with physical cash. “Transferable” e-cash schemes are the solution to this problem. Unfortunately, the currently proposed schemes are either completely impractical or do not achieve the desirable anonymity properties without compromises, such as assuming the existence of a trusted “judge” who can trace all coins and users in the system. This paper presents the first efficient and fully anonymous transferable e-cash scheme without any trusted third parties. We start by revising the security and anonymity properties of transferable e-cash to capture issues that were previously overlooked. For our construction we use the recently proposed malleable signatures by Chase et al. to allow the secure and anonymous transfer of coins, combined with a new efficient double-spending detection mechanism. Finally, we discuss an instantiation of our construction.","lang":"eng"}],"alternative_title":["LNCS"],"type":"conference","date_published":"2015-03-17T00:00:00Z","page":"101 - 124","publication":"Public-Key Cryptography - PKC 2015","citation":{"chicago":"Baldimtsi, Foteini, Melissa Chase, Georg Fuchsbauer, and Markulf Kohlweiss. “Anonymous Transferable E-Cash.” In Public-Key Cryptography - PKC 2015, 9020:101–24.

We apply the tools to construct a class of functions with high amortized memory complexity in the parallel Random Oracle Model (pROM); a variant of the standard ROM allowing for batches of simultaneous queries. In particular we obtain a new, more robust, type of Memory-Hard Functions (MHF); a security primitive which has recently been gaining acceptance in practice as an effective means of countering brute-force attacks on security relevant functions. Along the way we also demonstrate an important shortcoming of previous definitions of MHFs and give a new definition addressing the problem. The tools we develop represent an adaptation of the powerful pebbling paradigm (initially introduced by Hewitt and Paterson [HP70] and Cook [Coo73]) to a simple and intuitive parallel setting. We define a simple pebbling game Gp over graphs which aims to abstract parallel computation in an intuitive way. As a conceptual contribution we define a measure of pebbling complexity for graphs called cumulative complexity (CC) and show how it overcomes a crucial shortcoming (in the parallel setting) exhibited by more traditional complexity measures used in the past. As a main technical contribution we give an explicit construction of a constant in-degree family of graphs whose CC in Gp approaches maximality to within a polylogarithmic factor for any graph of equal size (analogous to the graphs of Tarjan et. al. [PTC76, LT82] for sequential pebbling games). Finally, for a given graph G and related function fG, we derive a lower-bound on the amortized memory complexity of fG in the pROM in terms of the CC of G in the game Gp.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"conference","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1145/2746539.2746622","date_published":"2015-06-01T00:00:00Z","conference":{"name":"STOC: Symposium on the Theory of Computing","end_date":"2015-06-17","location":"Portland, OR, United States","start_date":"2015-06-14"},"project":[{"call_identifier":"FP7","name":"Provable Security for Physical Cryptography","_id":"258C570E-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"259668"}],"page":"595 - 603","quality_controlled":"1","main_file_link":[{"url":"http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/238","open_access":"1"}],"citation":{"chicago":"Alwen, Joel F, and Vladimir Serbinenko. “High Parallel Complexity Graphs and Memory-Hard Functions.” In Proceedings of the 47th Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing, 595–603.

Existing definitions are restricted to weak coercion types, and/or are not universally composable. Furthermore, they often make too strong assumptions on the knowledge of coerced parties—e.g., they assume they known the identities and/or the strategies of other coerced parties, or those of corrupted parties— which makes them unsuitable for applications of incoercibility such as e-voting, where colluding adversarial parties may attempt to coerce honest voters, e.g., by offering them money for a promised vote, and use their own view to check that the voter keeps his end of the bargain. In this work we put forward the first universally composable notion of incoercible multi-party computation, which satisfies the above intuition and does not assume collusions among coerced parties or knowledge of the corrupted set. We define natural notions of UC incoercibility corresponding to standard coercion-types, i.e., receipt-freeness and resistance to full-active coercion. Importantly, our suggested notion has the unique property that it builds on top of the well studied UC framework by Canetti instead of modifying it. This guarantees backwards compatibility, and allows us to inherit results from the rich UC literature. We then present MPC protocols which realize our notions of UC incoercibility given access to an arguably minimal setup—namely honestly generate tamper-proof hardware performing a very simple cryptographic operation—e.g., a smart card. This is, to our knowledge, the first proposed construction of an MPC protocol (for more than two parties) that is incoercibly secure and universally composable, and therefore the first construction of a universally composable receipt-free e-voting protocol."}],"alternative_title":["LNCS"],"type":"conference","oa_version":"Submitted Version","file":[{"file_name":"2015_CRYPTO_Alwen.pdf","access_level":"open_access","content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":397363,"creator":"dernst","relation":"main_file","file_id":"7853","date_created":"2020-05-15T08:55:29Z","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:45:11Z","checksum":"5b6649e80d1f781a8910f7cce6427f78"}],"intvolume":" 9216","title":"Incoercible multi-party computation and universally composable receipt-free voting","ddc":["000"],"status":"public","_id":"1672","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","has_accepted_license":"1","article_processing_charge":"No","day":"01","series_title":"Lecture Notes in Computer Science","scopus_import":"1","date_published":"2015-08-01T00:00:00Z","page":"763 - 780","citation":{"short":"J.F.

In this paper we give a very simple and modular proof of the chain rule for HILL pseudoentropy, improving best known parameters.

One such hash function is KECCAK, selected as NIST’s new SHA-3 standard. In contrast to other approaches like HMAC, the exact security of keyed sponges is not well understood. Indeed, recent security analyses delivered concrete security bounds which are far from existing attacks. This paper aims to close this gap. We prove (nearly) exact bounds on the concrete PRF security of keyed sponges using a random permutation. These bounds are tight for the most relevant ranges of parameters, i.e., for messages of length (roughly) l ≤ min{2n/4, 2r} blocks, where n is the state size and r is the desired output length; and for l ≤ q queries (to the construction or the underlying permutation). Moreover, we also improve standard-model bounds.

The basic idea is to ask the service requestor to dedicate some non-trivial amount of computational work to every request. The original applications included prevention of spam and protection against denial of service attacks. More recently, PoWs have been used to prevent double spending in the Bitcoin digital currency system. In this work, we put forward an alternative concept for PoWs - so-called proofs of space (PoS), where a service requestor must dedicate a significant amount of disk space as opposed to computation. We construct secure PoS schemes in the random oracle model (with one additional mild assumption required for the proof to go through), using graphs with high “pebbling complexity” and Merkle hash-trees. We discuss some applications, including follow-up work where a decentralized digital currency scheme called Spacecoin is constructed that uses PoS (instead of wasteful PoW like in Bitcoin) to prevent double spending. The main technical contribution of this work is the construction of (directed, loop-free) graphs on N vertices with in-degree O(log logN) such that even if one places Θ(N) pebbles on the nodes of the graph, there’s a constant fraction of nodes that needs Θ(N) steps to be pebbled (where in every step one can put a pebble on a node if all its parents have a pebble).","lang":"eng"}],"type":"conference","alternative_title":["LNCS"],"pubrep_id":"671","oa_version":"Preprint","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"1675","intvolume":" 9216","status":"public","title":"Proofs of space","article_processing_charge":"No","day":"01","scopus_import":"1","date_published":"2015-08-01T00:00:00Z","citation":{"mla":"Dziembowski, Stefan, et al. “Proofs of Space.” 35th Annual Cryptology Conference, vol. 9216, Springer, 2015, pp. 585–605, doi:10.1007/978-3-662-48000-7_29.","short":"S.

In a standard VRF the secret key sk allows one to evaluate a pseudorandom function at any point of its domain; in addition, it enables computation of a non-interactive proof that the function value was computed correctly. In a constrained VRF from the key sk one can derive constrained keys skS for subsets S of the domain, which allow computation of function values and proofs only at points in S. After formally defining constrained VRFs, we derive instantiations from the multilinear-maps-based constrained PRFs by Boneh and Waters, yielding a VRF with constrained keys for any set that can be decided by a polynomial-size circuit. Our VRFs have the same function values as the Boneh-Waters PRFs and are proved secure under the same hardness assumption, showing that verifiability comes at no cost.

Our results mainly concern the case where the randomness-recovery algorithm is efficient. We provide constructions of ECCA-secure encryption from adaptive trapdoor functions as defined by Kiltz et al. (EUROCRYPT 2010), resulting in ECCA encryption from standard number-theoretic assumptions. We then give two applications of ECCA-secure encryption: (1) We use it as a unifying concept in showing equivalence of adaptive trapdoor functions and tag-based adaptive trapdoor functions, resolving an open question of Kiltz et al. (2) We show that ECCA-secure encryption can be used to securely realize an approach to public-key encryption with non-interactive opening (PKENO) originally suggested by Damgård and Thorbek (EUROCRYPT 2007), resulting in new and practical PKENO schemes quite different from those in prior work.

Assume that we have some cryptographic application P that expects a uniformly random m-bit key R and ensures that the best attack (in some complexity class) against P(R) has success probability at most δ. Our goal is to design a key-derivation function (KDF) h that converts any random source X of min-entropy k into a sufficiently "good" key h(X), guaranteeing that P(h(X)) has comparable security δ′ which is 'close' to δ. Seeded randomness extractors provide a generic way to solve this problem for all applications P, with resulting security δ′ = O(δ), provided that we start with entropy k ≥ m + 2 log (1/δ) - O(1). By a result of Radhakrishnan and Ta-Shma, this bound on k (called the "RT-bound") is also known to be tight in general. Unfortunately, in many situations the loss of 2 log (1/δ) bits of entropy is unacceptable. This motivates the study KDFs with less entropy waste by placing some restrictions on the source X or the application P. In this work we obtain the following new positive and negative results in this regard: - Efficient samplability of the source X does not help beat the RT-bound for general applications. This resolves the SRT (samplable RT) conjecture of Dachman-Soled et al. [DGKM12] in the affirmative, and also shows that the existence of computationally-secure extractors beating the RT-bound implies the existence of one-way functions. - We continue in the line of work initiated by Barak et al. [BDK+11] and construct new information-theoretic KDFs which beat the RT-bound for large but restricted classes of applications. Specifically, we design efficient KDFs that work for all unpredictability applications P (e.g., signatures, MACs, one-way functions, etc.) and can either: (1) extract all of the entropy k = m with a very modest security loss δ′ = O(δ·log (1/δ)), or alternatively, (2) achieve essentially optimal security δ′ = O(δ) with a very modest entropy loss k ≥ m + loglog (1/δ). In comparison, the best prior results from [BDK+11] for this class of applications would only guarantee δ′ = O(√δ) when k = m, and would need k ≥ m + log (1/δ) to get δ′ = O(δ). - The weaker bounds of [BDK+11] hold for a larger class of so-called "square- friendly" applications (which includes all unpredictability, but also some important indistinguishability, applications). Unfortunately, we show that these weaker bounds are tight for the larger class of applications. - We abstract out a clean, information-theoretic notion of (k,δ,δ′)- unpredictability extractors, which guarantee "induced" security δ′ for any δ-secure unpredictability application P, and characterize the parameters achievable for such unpredictability extractors. Of independent interest, we also relate this notion to the previously-known notion of (min-entropy) condensers, and improve the state-of-the-art parameters for such condensers."}],"_id":"2185","user_id":"4435EBFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","ddc":["000","004"],"title":"Key derivation without entropy waste","status":"public","intvolume":" 8441","pubrep_id":"680","file":[{"checksum":"da1aa01221086083b23c92e547b48ff4","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:45:31Z","date_created":"2018-12-12T10:08:43Z","relation":"main_file","file_id":"4705","file_size":505389,"content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"system","access_level":"open_access","file_name":"IST-2016-680-v1+1_708.pdf"}],"oa_version":"Submitted Version"},{"date_created":"2018-12-11T11:56:24Z","date_updated":"2021-01-12T06:56:05Z","volume":8383,"author":[{"last_name":"Kiltz","first_name":"Eike","full_name":"Kiltz, Eike"},{"full_name":"Masny, Daniel","last_name":"Masny","first_name":"Daniel"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-9139-1654","id":"3E04A7AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Pietrzak","first_name":"Krzysztof Z","full_name":"Pietrzak, Krzysztof Z"}],"publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"KrPi"}],"publisher":"Springer","year":"2014","publist_id":"4748","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"conference":{"name":"IACR: International Conference on Practice and Theory in Public-Key Cryptography"},"doi":"10.1007/978-3-642-54631-0_1","quality_controlled":"1","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/401"}],"oa":1,"month":"03","publication_identifier":{"isbn":["978-364254630-3"]},"oa_version":"Submitted Version","title":"Simple chosen-ciphertext security from low noise LPN","status":"public","intvolume":" 8383","_id":"2219","user_id":"4435EBFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","abstract":[{"text":"Recently, Döttling et al.

So far, hash function combiners only aim at preserving a single property such as collision-resistance or pseudorandomness. However, when hash functions are used in protocols like TLS they are often required to provide several properties simultaneously. We therefore put forward the notion of robust multi-property combiners and elaborate on different definitions for such combiners. We then propose a combiner that provably preserves (target) collision-resistance, pseudorandomness, and being a secure message authentication code. This combiner satisfies the strongest notion we propose, which requires that the combined function satisfies every security property which is satisfied by at least one of the underlying hash function. If the underlying hash functions have output length n, the combiner has output length 2 n. This basically matches a known lower bound for black-box combiners for collision-resistance only, thus the other properties can be achieved without penalizing the length of the hash values. We then propose a combiner which also preserves the property of being indifferentiable from a random oracle, slightly increasing the output length to 2 n+ω(log n). Moreover, we show how to augment our constructions in order to make them also robust for the one-wayness property, but in this case require an a priory upper bound on the input length."}],"publist_id":"3940","issue":"3","_id":"2852","user_id":"3FFCCD3A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","year":"2014","title":"Robust multi-property combiners for hash functions","publication_status":"published","status":"public","publisher":"Springer","department":[{"_id":"KrPi"}],"intvolume":" 27","author":[{"full_name":"Fischlin, Marc","last_name":"Fischlin","first_name":"Marc"},{"full_name":"Lehmann, Anja","first_name":"Anja","last_name":"Lehmann"},{"full_name":"Pietrzak, Krzysztof Z","id":"3E04A7AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-9139-1654","first_name":"Krzysztof Z","last_name":"Pietrzak"}],"related_material":{"record":[{"id":"3225","relation":"earlier_version","status":"public"}]},"date_updated":"2023-02-23T11:17:53Z","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:59:56Z","oa_version":"None","volume":27},{"publication_status":"published","publisher":"Springer","editor":[{"first_name":"Juan","last_name":"Garay","full_name":"Garay, Juan"},{"full_name":"Gennaro, Rosario","last_name":"Gennaro","first_name":"Rosario"}],"department":[{"_id":"KrPi"}],"year":"2014","date_updated":"2023-09-07T12:02:27Z","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:55:36Z","volume":8616,"author":[{"full_name":"Gazi, Peter","id":"3E0BFE38-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Gazi","first_name":"Peter"},{"full_name":"Pietrzak, Krzysztof Z","id":"3E04A7AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-9139-1654","first_name":"Krzysztof Z","last_name":"Pietrzak"},{"full_name":"Rybar, Michal","id":"2B3E3DE8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Rybar","first_name":"Michal"}],"related_material":{"record":[{"id":"838","status":"public","relation":"dissertation_contains"}]},"file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:45:28Z","ec_funded":1,"publist_id":"4955","quality_controlled":"1","project":[{"name":"Provable Security for Physical Cryptography","call_identifier":"FP7","grant_number":"259668","_id":"258C570E-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"}],"oa":1,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"conference":{"end_date":"2014-08-21","location":"Santa Barbara, USA","start_date":"2014-08-17","name":"CRYPTO: International Cryptology Conference"},"doi":"10.1007/978-3-662-44371-2_7","month":"01","title":"The exact PRF-security of NMAC and HMAC","ddc":["000","004"],"status":"public","intvolume":" 8616","_id":"2082","user_id":"4435EBFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","file":[{"checksum":"dab6ab36a5f6af94f2b597e6404ed11d","date_created":"2018-12-12T10:13:17Z","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:45:28Z","file_id":"4999","relation":"main_file","creator":"system","file_size":492310,"content_type":"application/pdf","access_level":"open_access","file_name":"IST-2016-682-v1+1_578.pdf"}],"oa_version":"Submitted Version","pubrep_id":"682","alternative_title":["LNCS"],"type":"conference","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"NMAC is a mode of operation which turns a fixed input-length keyed hash function f into a variable input-length function. A practical single-key variant of NMAC called HMAC is a very popular and widely deployed message authentication code (MAC). Security proofs and attacks for NMAC can typically be lifted to HMAC. NMAC was introduced by Bellare, Canetti and Krawczyk [Crypto'96], who proved it to be a secure pseudorandom function (PRF), and thus also a MAC, assuming that (1) f is a PRF and (2) the function we get when cascading f is weakly collision-resistant. Unfortunately, HMAC is typically instantiated with cryptographic hash functions like MD5 or SHA-1 for which (2) has been found to be wrong. To restore the provable guarantees for NMAC, Bellare [Crypto'06] showed its security based solely on the assumption that f is a PRF, albeit via a non-uniform reduction. - Our first contribution is a simpler and uniform proof for this fact: If f is an ε-secure PRF (against q queries) and a δ-non-adaptively secure PRF (against q queries), then NMAC f is an (ε+ℓqδ)-secure PRF against q queries of length at most ℓ blocks each. - We then show that this ε+ℓqδ bound is basically tight. For the most interesting case where ℓqδ ≥ ε we prove this by constructing an f for which an attack with advantage ℓqδ exists. This also violates the bound O(ℓε) on the PRF-security of NMAC recently claimed by Koblitz and Menezes. - Finally, we analyze the PRF-security of a modification of NMAC called NI [An and Bellare, Crypto'99] that differs mainly by using a compression function with an additional keying input. This avoids the constant rekeying on multi-block messages in NMAC and allows for a security proof starting by the standard switch from a PRF to a random function, followed by an information-theoretic analysis. We carry out such an analysis, obtaining a tight ℓq2/2 c bound for this step, improving over the trivial bound of ℓ2q2/2c. The proof borrows combinatorial techniques originally developed for proving the security of CBC-MAC [Bellare et al., Crypto'05]."}],"issue":"1","page":"113 - 130","citation":{"mla":"Gazi, Peter, et al.

The LWR problem was shown to be as hard as LWE for a setting of parameters where the modulus and modulus-to-error ratio are super-polynomial. In this work we resolve the main open problem and give a new reduction that works for a larger range of parameters, allowing for a polynomial modulus and modulus-to-error ratio. In particular, a smaller modulus gives us greater efficiency, and a smaller modulus-to-error ratio gives us greater security, which now follows from the worst-case hardness of GapSVP with polynomial (rather than super-polynomial) approximation factors.\r\n\r\nAs a tool in the reduction, we show that there is a “lossy mode” for the LWR problem, in which LWR samples only reveal partial information about the secret.

The verifier is able to recover m from τ and at the same time verify its authenticity. The two most important parameters of such a scheme are its security and overhead |τ| − |m|. A simple argument shows that for any scheme with “n bits security” |τ| − |m| ≥ n, i.e., the overhead is lower bounded by the security parameter n. Currently, the best known constructions in the random oracle model are far from this lower bound requiring an overhead of n + logq h , where q h is the number of queries to the random oracle. In this paper we give a construction which basically matches the n bit lower bound. We propose a simple digital signature scheme with n + o(logq h ) bits overhead, where q h denotes the number of random oracle queries.\r\n\r\nOur construction works in two steps. First, we propose a signature scheme with message recovery having optimal overhead in a new ideal model, the random invertible function model. Second, we show that a four-round Feistel network with random oracles as round functions is tightly “public-indifferentiable” from a random invertible function. At the core of our indifferentiability proof is an almost tight upper bound for the expected number of edges of the densest “small” subgraph of a random Cayley graph, which may be of independent interest.\r\n","lang":"eng"}],"type":"conference","alternative_title":["LNCS"],"doi":"10.1007/978-3-642-40041-4_31","conference":{"end_date":"2013-08-22","location":"Santa Barbara, CA, United States","start_date":"2013-08-18","name":"CRYPTO: International Cryptology Conference"},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"oa":1,"project":[{"call_identifier":"FP7","name":"Provable Security for Physical Cryptography","_id":"258C570E-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"259668"}],"quality_controlled":"1","month":"01","author":[{"full_name":"Kiltz, Eike","first_name":"Eike","last_name":"Kiltz"},{"full_name":"Pietrzak, Krzysztof Z","last_name":"Pietrzak","first_name":"Krzysztof Z","orcid":"0000-0002-9139-1654","id":"3E04A7AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"last_name":"Szegedy","first_name":"Mario","full_name":"Szegedy, Mario"}],"volume":8042,"date_updated":"2021-01-12T06:56:21Z","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:56:37Z","year":"2013","department":[{"_id":"KrPi"}],"publisher":"Springer","publication_status":"published","publist_id":"4688","ec_funded":1,"file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:45:35Z"},{"series_title":"Lecture Notes in Computer Science","scopus_import":1,"day":"01","page":"518 - 533","citation":{"ista":"Bernhard D, Fuchsbauer G, Ghadafi E. 2013.

Traditional implementations of cryptographic access control rely on simple cryptographic primitives whereas recent endeavors employ primitives with richer functionality and security guarantees. Worryingly, few of the existing cryptographic access-control schemes come with precise guarantees, the gap between the policy specification and the implementation being analyzed only informally, if at all. In this paper we begin addressing this shortcoming. Unlike prior work that targeted ad-hoc policy specification, we look at the well-established Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model, as used in a typical file system. In short, we provide a precise syntax for a computational version of RBAC, offer rigorous definitions for cryptographic policy enforcement of a large class of RBAC security policies, and demonstrate that an implementation based on attribute-based encryption meets our security notions. We view our main contribution as being at the conceptual level. Although we work with RBAC for concreteness, our general methodology could guide future research for uses of cryptography in other access-control models. \r\n","lang":"eng"}],"publist_id":"4637","type":"conference","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:56:48Z","date_updated":"2021-01-12T06:56:34Z","oa_version":"Submitted Version","author":[{"first_name":"Anna","last_name":"Ferrara","full_name":"Ferrara, Anna"},{"full_name":"Fuchsbauer, Georg","id":"46B4C3EE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Georg","last_name":"Fuchsbauer"},{"first_name":"Bogdan","last_name":"Warinschi","full_name":"Warinschi, Bogdan"}],"title":"Cryptographically enforced RBAC","status":"public","publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"KrPi"}],"publisher":"IEEE","year":"2013","_id":"2291","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","month":"09","day":"01","scopus_import":1,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"conference":{"name":"CSF: Computer Security Foundations","end_date":"2013-09-28","location":"New Orleans, LA, United States","start_date":"2013-09-26"},"date_published":"2013-09-01T00:00:00Z","doi":"10.1109/CSF.2013.15","quality_controlled":"1","page":"115 - 129","citation":{"chicago":"Ferrara, Anna, Georg Fuchsbauer, and Bogdan Warinschi. “Cryptographically Enforced RBAC,” 115–29.

Moreover, many computational entropy notions (like Yao entropy, unpredictability entropy and several variants of HILL entropy) satisfy the chain rule for conditional entropy, though here not only the quantity decreases by l, but also the quality of the entropy decreases exponentially in l.

Moreover, we instantiate partially blind signatures, where the message consists of a part hidden from the signer and a commonly known public part, and schemes achieving perfect blindness. We propose new variants of blind signatures, such as signer-friendly partially blind signatures, where the public part can be chosen by the signer without prior agreement, 3-party blind signatures, as well as blind signatures on multiple aggregated messages provided by independent sources.

Informally, a scheme is leakage-resilient if it remains secure even if an adversary learns a bounded amount of arbitrary information about the schemes internal state. Unfortunately, most leakage resilient schemes are unnecessarily complicated in order to achieve strong provable security guarantees. As advocated by Yu et al. [CCS’10], this mostly is an artefact of the security proof and in practice much simpler construction may already suffice to protect against realistic side-channel attacks. In this paper, we show that indeed for simpler constructions leakage-resilience can be obtained when we aim for relaxed security notions where the leakage-functions and/or the inputs to the primitive are chosen non-adaptively. For example, we show that a three round Feistel network instantiated with a leakage resilient PRF yields a leakage resilient PRP if the inputs are chosen non-adaptively (This complements the result of Dodis and Pietrzak [CRYPTO’10] who show that if a adaptive queries are allowed, a superlogarithmic number of rounds is necessary.)

Not only must they understand the security guarantees delivered by the constructions they choose, they must also implement and combine them correctly and efficiently. Cryptographic compilers free developers from this task by turning high-level specifications of security goals into efficient implementations. Yet, trusting such tools is hard as they rely on complex mathematical machinery and claim security properties that are subtle and difficult to verify. In this paper we present ZKCrypt, an optimizing cryptographic compiler achieving an unprecedented level of assurance without sacrificing practicality for a comprehensive class of cryptographic protocols, known as Zero-Knowledge Proofs of Knowledge. The pipeline of ZKCrypt integrates purpose-built verified compilers and verifying compilers producing formal proofs in the CertiCrypt framework. By combining the guarantees delivered by each stage, ZKCrypt provides assurance that the output implementation securely realizes the abstract proof goal given as input. We report on the main characteristics of ZKCrypt, highlight new definitions and concepts at its foundations, and illustrate its applicability through a representative example of an anonymous credential system.","lang":"eng"}],"publist_id":"3798","publication":"Proceedings of the 2012 ACM conference on Computer and communications security","citation":{"short":"J.

Being provably secure means that the scheme comes with a proof showing that the existence of an efficient adversary against the scheme implies that the underlying hardness assumption is wrong. LPN based schemes are appealing for theoretical and practical reasons. On the theoretical side, LPN based schemes offer a very strong security guarantee. The LPN problem is equivalent to the problem of decoding random linear codes, a problem that has been extensively studied in the last half century. The fastest known algorithms run in exponential time and unlike most number-theoretic problems used in cryptography, the LPN problem does not succumb to known quantum algorithms. On the practical side, LPN based schemes are often extremely simple and efficient in terms of code-size as well as time and space requirements. This makes them prime candidates for light-weight devices like RFID tags, which are too weak to implement standard cryptographic primitives like the AES block-cipher. This talk will be a gentle introduction to provable security using simple LPN based schemes as examples.

In this work we propose a wide variety of other approaches to building efficient MACs, without going through a PRF first. In particular, unlike deterministic PRF-based MACs, where each message has a unique valid tag, we give a number of probabilistic MAC constructions from various other primitives/assumptions. Our main results are summarized as follows: We show several new probabilistic MAC constructions from a variety of general assumptions, including CCA-secure encryption, Hash Proof Systems and key-homomorphic weak PRFs. By instantiating these frameworks under concrete number theoretic assumptions, we get several schemes which are more efficient than just using a state-of-the-art PRF instantiation under the corresponding assumption. For probabilistic MACs, unlike deterministic ones, unforgeability against a chosen message attack (uf-cma ) alone does not imply security if the adversary can additionally make verification queries (uf-cmva ). We give an efficient generic transformation from any uf-cma secure MAC which is "message-hiding" into a uf-cmva secure MAC. This resolves the main open problem of Kiltz et al. from Eurocrypt'11; By using our transformation on their constructions, we get the first efficient MACs from the LPN assumption. While all our new MAC constructions immediately give efficient actively secure, two-round symmetric-key identification schemes, we also show a very simple, three-round actively secure identification protocol from any weak PRF. In particular, the resulting protocol is much more efficient than the trivial approach of building a regular PRF from a weak PRF. © 2012 International Association for Cryptologic Research.","lang":"eng"}],"title":"Message authentication, revisited","status":"public","ddc":["000","004"],"intvolume":" 7237","_id":"3282","user_id":"3E5EF7F0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","oa_version":"Submitted Version","file":[{"file_id":"5074","relation":"main_file","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:46:06Z","date_created":"2018-12-12T10:14:23Z","checksum":"8557c17a8c2586d06ebfe62d934f5c5f","file_name":"IST-2016-686-v1+1_059.pdf","access_level":"open_access","creator":"system","file_size":372292,"content_type":"application/pdf"}],"pubrep_id":"686","day":"10","has_accepted_license":"1","page":"355 - 374","citation":{"apa":"Dodis, Y., Pietrzak, K.

The learning parities with noise problem (LPN) is the special case where the elements of the vectors are bits. In recent years, the LWE and LPN problems have found many applications in cryptography. In this paper we introduce a (seemingly) much stronger adaptive assumption, called "subspace LWE" (SLWE), where the adversary can learn the inner product of the secret and random vectors after they were projected into an adaptively and adversarially chosen subspace. We prove that, surprisingly, the SLWE problem mapping into subspaces of dimension d is almost as hard as LWE using secrets of length d (the other direction is trivial.) This result immediately implies that several existing cryptosystems whose security is based on the hardness of the LWE/LPN problems are provably secure in a much stronger sense than anticipated. As an illustrative example we show that the standard way of using LPN for symmetric CPA secure encryption is even secure against a very powerful class of related key attacks.

We say that an oracle circuit C*: {0,1} m → {0,1}* amplifies relative lossiness from ℓ/n to L/m if for every function f:{0,1} n → {0,1} n it holds that 1 If f is injective then so is C f. 2 If f has image size of at most 2 n-ℓ, then C f has image size at most 2 m-L. The question is whether such C* exists for L/m ≫ ℓ/n. This problem arises naturally in the context of cryptographic "lossy functions," where the relative lossiness is the key parameter. We show that for every circuit C* that makes at most t queries to f, the relative lossiness of C f is at most L/m ≤ ℓ/n + O(log t)/n. In particular, no black-box method making a polynomial t = poly(n) number of queries can amplify relative lossiness by more than an O(logn)/n additive term. We show that this is tight by giving a simple construction (cascading with some randomization) that achieves such amplification.","lang":"eng"}],"main_file_link":[{"url":"http://www.iacr.org/archive/tcc2012/tcc2012-index.html"}],"citation":{"ama":"Pietrzak KZ, Rosen A, Segev G.

In comparison, the number of invocations by the best previous hardness-preserving construction (GGM using Levin's trick) is logarithmic in the hardness of the PRG. For example, starting from an exponentially secure PRG {0,1} n → {0,1} 2n, we get a PRF which is exponentially secure if queried at most q = exp(√n)times and where each invocation of the PRF requires Θ(√n) queries to the underlying PRG.
