On Physical Obfuscation of Cryptographic Algorithms

چکیده
We describe a solution for physically obfuscating the representation of a cipher, to augment chips resistance against physical threats, by combining ideas from masking techniques and Physical Obfuscated Keys (POKs). With embedded chips – like RFID tags – as main motivation, we apply this strategy to the representation of a Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR). The application of this technique to LFSR-based stream ciphers, such as the Self Shrinking Generator, enables to share key materials between several chips within a system while increasing the resistance of the system against compromise of chips. An extension of our ideas to non-linear ciphers is also presented with an illustration onto Trivium.

Nowadays, achieving desirable and stable security in networks with national and organizational scope and even in sensitive information systems, should be based on a systematic and comprehensive method and should be done step by step. Cryptography is the most important mechanism for securing information. a cryptographic system consists of three main components: cryptographic algorithms, cryptogr...
متن کاملImplementing Cryptographic Program Obfuscation
Program obfuscation is the process of making a program “unintelligible” without changing the program’s underlying input/output behavior. Although there is a long line of work on heuristic techniques for obfuscation, such approaches do not provide any cryptographic guarantee on their effectiveness. A recent result by Garg et al. (FOCS 2013), however, shows that cryptographic program obfuscation ...
متن کاملSurvey on Cryptographic Obfuscation
The recent result of Garg et al. (FOCS 2013) changed the previously pessimistic attitude towards general purpose cryptographic obfuscation. Since their first candidate construction, several authors proposed newer and newer schemes with more persuasive security arguments and better efficiency. At the same time, indistinguishability obfuscation proved its extreme usefulness by becoming the basis ...
متن کاملCircuit Obfuscation Using Braids
An obfuscator is an algorithm that translates circuits into functionally-equivalent similarly-sized circuits that are hard to understand. Efficient obfuscators would have many applications in cryptography. Until recently, theoretical progress has mainly been limited to no-go results. Recent works have proposed the first efficient obfuscation algorithms for classical logic circuits, based on a n...

Code obfuscation is a set of program transformations that make program code and program execution difficult to analyze. First of all, obfuscation hinders manual inspection of program internals. By renaming variables and functions, and breaking down structures, it protects against reverse-engineering. It protects both storage and usage of keys, and it can hide certain properties such as a softwa...
