Possible NSA Decryption Capabilities

چکیده

Introduction This document estimates the possible capabilities of the NSA in breaking certain types of cipher by exhaustive key search. It is a theoretical document, and only covers technical ability: in many cases the NSA will use alternative methods to break target cipher systems. The aim of this document is to give some estimates for the security of certain key lengths for some symmetrical (block) ciphers. This is a draft discussion document; it still requires more work before being generally released.

General Certificateless Encryption and Timed-Release Encryption

While recent timed-release encryption (TRE) schemes are implicitly supported by a certificateless encryption (CLE) mechanism, the security models of CLE and TRE differ and there is no generic transformation from a CLE to a TRE. This paper gives a generalized model for CLE that fulfills the requirements of TRE. This model is secure against adversaries with adaptive trapdoor extraction capabiliti...

Practical RSA Threshold Decryption for Things That Think

Progressing towards an era of ever more small devices with computational power and storage capabilities, a new kind of security approach is needed. We propose a practical scheme to achieve threshold security for Things That Think. The private data of the user remains protected as long as the number of corrupted devices is lower than the threshold. We describe a procedure for key distribution, k...

An Efficient Extension of Network Simplex Algorithm

In this paper, an efficient extension of network simplex algorithm is presented. In static scheduling problem, where there is no change in situation, the challenge is that the large problems can be solved in a short time. In this paper, the Static Scheduling problem of Automated Guided Vehicles in container terminal is solved by Network Simplex Algorithm (NSA) and NSA+, which extended the stand...

Statistical investigation of the double random phase encoding technique.

The amplitude-encoding case of the double random phase encoding technique is examined by defining a cost function as a metric to compare an attempted decryption against the corresponding original input image. For the case when a cipher-text pair has been obtained and the correct decryption key is unknown, an iterative attack technique can be employed to ascertain the key. During such an attack ...

Secure Data Storage Outsourcing with Conjunctive Keyword Search

This thesis in the field of cryptography considers secure data outsourcing with keyword search capabilities. To ensure data confidentiality the data is stored in encrypted format. An efficient solution has been developed to enable conjunctive keyword search. Also, a protocol is applied to enable efficient and secure sharing of encrypted data. It is possible to efficiently enrol and revoke users...
