Breaking GSM with rainbow Tables
نویسنده
چکیده
Since 1998 the GSM security has been academically broken but no real attack has ever been done until in 2008 when two engineers of Pico Computing (FPGA manufacture) revealed that they could break the GSM encryption in 30 seconds with 200’000$ hardware and precomputed rainbow tables. Since then the hardware was either available for rich people only or was confiscated by government agencies. So Chris Paget and Karsten Nohl decided to react and do the same thing but in a distributed open source form (on torrent). This way everybody could “enjoy” breaking GSM security and operators will be forced to upgrade the GSM protocol that is being used by more than 4 billion users and that is more than 20

A Comparison of Time-Memory Trade-Off Attacks on Stream Ciphers
Introduced by Hellman, Time-Memory Trade-Off (TMTO) attacks offer a generic technique to reverse one-way functions, where one can trade off time and memory costs and which are especially effective against stream ciphers. Hellman’s original idea has seen many different improvements, notably the Distinguished Points attack and the Rainbow Table attack. The trade-off curves of these approaches hav...
متن کاملVirtual Expansion of Rainbow Tables
Password recovery tools are often used in digital forensic investigations to obtain the passwords that are used by suspects to encrypt potential evidentiary data. This paper presents a new method for deterministically generating and efficiently storing password recovery tables. The method, which involves the virtual expansion of rainbow tables, achieves improvements of 16.92% to 28.15% in the p...
متن کاملPassword Cracking Based On Rainbow Tables With A Dynamically Coarse Grain Reconfigurable Architecture
Rainbow attack is a very efficient attack which uses rainbow tables to offer an almost optimal time-memory tradeoff in the process of recovering the plaintext password from ciphertext hash. In this paper, we proposed a new method which can crack DES password quickly with less power consumption on a coarse grain reconfigurable architecture (CGRA) named reconfigurable encrypt-decrypt system (REED...
متن کاملDiscarding the Endpoints makes the Cryptanalytic Time-Memory Trade-Offs even Faster
Cryptanalytic time-memory trade-offs were introduced by Hellman in 1980 in order to perform key-recovery attacks on cryptosystems. A major advance was presented at Crypto 2003 by Oechslin, with the rainbow table variant that outperforms Hellman’s seminal work. This paper introduces the fingerprint tables, which drastically reduce the number of false alarms during the attack compared to the rain...
متن کاملSO ( 10 ) GUTs in Higher Dimensions
We discuss supersymmetic SO(10) unified theories constructed in 6 dimensions. The breaking of SO(10) group is achieved by the orbifold compactification. In 4 dimensions we obtain a N = 1 supersymmetric standard model which gauge group is enlarged by an additional U(1) symmetry. This unbroken gauge group is obtained as intersection of the Pati-Salam and the Georgi-Glashow subgroups of SO(10). Th...
