Extracting RSA private keys and certificates out of the process memory
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses a method to find and extract RSA private keys and certificates out of the process memory in a very reliable way. This method can be used by an attacker to steal sensitive cryptographic material. As a proof of concept an IDA Pro plugin as well as an exploit payload will be discussed. All your private keys are belong to us 2

Identity-Based Mediated RSA
Identity-based encryption (IBE) [5] and digital signatures are important tools in modern secure communication. In general, identity-based cryptographic methods facilitate easy introduction of public key cryptography by allowing an entity’s public key to be derived from some arbitrary identification value such as an email address or a phone number. Identity-based cryptography greatly reduces the...
متن کاملProprietary Certificates ( Extended Abstract )
Certificates play an essential role in public-key cryptography, and are likely to become a cornerstone of commerce-related applications. Traditional certificates, however, are not secure against certificate lending, i.e., a situation in which a certificate holder voluntarily shares with others the rights bestowed upon him through a certificate. This type of abuse is a concern in several types o...
متن کاملRSA Weak Public Keys Available on the Internet
It is common knowledge that RSA can fail when used with weak random number generators. In this paper we present two algorithms that we used to find vulnerable public keys together with a simple procedure for recovering the private key from a broken public key. Our study focused on finding RSA keys with 512 and 1024 bit length, which are not considered safe, and finding a GCD is relatively fast....
متن کاملEfficient Generation of Shared RSA keys
In Public key Cryptosystems, exchanging public keys among the communicating parties is very important. Since an adversary can impersonate a legitimate user and send his own public key instead of the legitimate user’s one. So that, the idea of another trusted third party that can authenticate the legitimate parties appeared. This trusted party is often called the Certification Authority (CA) [6]...
متن کاملCopker: Computing with Private Keys without RAM
Cryptographic systems are essential for computer and communication security, for instance, RSA is used in PGP Email clients and AES is employed in full disk encryption. In practice, the cryptographic keys are loaded and stored in RAM as plain-text, and therefore vulnerable to physical memory attacks (e.g., cold-boot attacks). To tackle this problem, we propose Copker, which implements asymmetri...
