Comparative Study of Eight Formal Specifications of the Message Authenticator Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
TheMessage Authenticator Algorithm (MAA) is one of the first cryptographic functions for computing a Message Authentication Code. Between 1987 and 2001, the MAA was adopted in international standards (ISO 8730 and ISO 8731-2) to ensure the authenticity and integrity of banking transactions. In 1990 and 1991, three formal, yet non-executable, specifications of the MAA (in VDM, Z, and LOTOS) were developed at NPL. Since then, five formal executable specifications of the MAA (in LOTOS, LNT, and term rewrite systems) have been designed at INRIA Grenoble. This article provides an overview of the MAA and compares its formal specifications with respect to common-sense criteria, such as conciseness, readability, and efficiency of code generation.

This contribution deals with an optimal design of a brushless DC motor, using optimization algorithms, based on collective intelligence. For this purpose, the case study motor is perfectly explained and its significant specifications are obtained as functions of the motor geometric parameters. In fact, the geometric parameters of the motor are considered as optimization variables. Then, the obj...

The cryptographic literature contains many provably secure highspeed authenticators. Some authenticators use n multiplications for length-n messages; some authenticators have the advantage of using only about n/2 multiplications. Some authenticators use n variables for length-n messages; some authenticators have the advantage of using only 1 variable. This paper, after reviewing relevant polyno...

The security of the ISO banking standard Message Authenticator Algorithm (ISO 87312), also known as MAA, is considered. The attacks, which exploit the internal structure of the algorithm, are the first computationally feasible attacks on MAA. First a MAC forgery attack is presented that requires 2 messages of 256 Kbytes or 2 messages of 1 Kbyte; the latter circumvents the special MAA mode for l...

Bellare, Canetti and Krawczyk proposed a security model (BCK-model) for authentication and key exchange protocols in 1998. The model not only reasonably captures the power of practical attackers but also provides a modular approach to the design of secure key exchange protocols. One important element in this approach is the MTauthenticator. An MT-authenticator transforms a message transmission ...
