The Analysis of Windows Vista Disk Encryption Algorithm

چکیده
Windows Vista Enterprise and Ultimate editions use Bitlocker Drive Encryption as its disk encryption algorithm, and at its heart is the AES-CBC + Elephant diffuser encryption algorithm (ELEPHANT). In this paper we present our analysis of ELEPHANT using statistical tests. Our analysis has explored some weaknesses in its diffusers, thus we propose new diffusers to replace them. The new diffusers overcome the weaknesses of the original ones, and offer better and faster diffusion properties. We used the new diffusers to build variants of ELEPHANT, that possess better diffusion properties.

We examine the security requirements for creating a Deniable File System (DFS), and the efficacy with which the TrueCrypt disk-encryption software meets those requirements. We find that the Windows Vista operating system itself, Microsoft Word, and Google Desktop all compromise the deniability of a TrueCrypt DFS. While staged in the context of TrueCrypt, our research highlights several fundamen...

متن کاملA Performance Comparison of Ciphering Algorithms with the sWIFI Algorithm
Ciphering algorithms play a main role in WLAN security systems. However, those algorithms consume a significant amount of computing resources such as CPU time, and packet size. In an attempt to remedy the WLAN security issue, a novel method has been deployed to secure the transmitted data over wireless network, called a secure WiFi (sWiFi) algorithm. This paper also provides evaluation of five ...
