  1. Message Authentication Code Algorithms CSIS 5857: Encoding and Encryption

  2. Digests and Networks • Same hash applied to message by sender and recipient • Sender creates digest and sends along with message • Recipient creates digest from received message, and compares to received digest • If no match, message has been tampered with en route M

  3. Digests and Networks • Problem: Adversary can easily intercept digest and change it to match new message • Must assume adversary knows hash function we use! M h(M)

  4. Message Authentication Codes Using secret key to create digest • Creates MAC as h(M, k) • Without k, Darth can’t substitute Mand then duplicate the h(M, k) that recipient will use to check message integrity • k must be large enough to prevent exhaustive search

  5. Message Authentication Codes • Provides some authentication of sender • Only person with correct keyk can produce h(M, k) that matches message M • Also provides some nonrepudiation protection • Sender cannot later claim they did not send message unless key stolen • Can also involve digital signatures compare h(M, k) M h(M, k) “If they match, thensender must have samekey k as I do” M h(M, k) h k

  6. Authentication and Confidentiality • Can also encrypt message with different key • Hash plaintext before encryption • Hash ciphertextafter encryption • Allows authentication to take place without decryption(usually much faster) h h h h h h h

  7. Prefix/Postfix MAC • Key = “extra bits” at beginning or end of messageh(M, k) = h(M|k) or h(k| M) • Hash algorithm used must have strong “avalanche effect” • Changing few bits at beginning/end changes most bits of MAC even if rest of message is the same • Better if key “spread out” over message rather than at known fixed location Message

  8. Nested MAC • Hashing applied multiple times • Concatenate key with message:k | M • Run through hash: h(k | M) • Concatenate key again: k |h(k | M) • Run through hash again: MAC = h(k |h(k | M)) • Changes in key have greater avalanche effect on final MAC

  9. Hashed MAC (HMAC) • 2-stage nested MAC • Intermediate result of first hash padded to increase complexity next hash • Different “round keys” generated for each hash • Stage 1: k1 = k ipad • Stage 2: k2 = k opad

  10. Hashed MAC (HMAC) • Stage 1: k1= k ipad • Key k padded out to b bits with extra 0’s • ipad = 00110110 00110110 … repeated to bbits • Stage : k2= k opad • opad = 01011100 01011100 … repeated to bbits • Key idea:ipad and opad differ in half of possible bitsk1and k2will differ very greatly

  11. Chained MAC (CMAC) • “Hashless” MAC • Uses an encryption algorithm (DES, AES, etc.) to generate MAC

  12. Chained MAC (CMAC) • Based on same idea as cipher block chaining • Message broken into N blocks • Each block fed into an encryption algorithm with key • Result XOR’d with next block before encryption to make final MAC depend on all blocks • Compresses result to size of single block (unlike encryption)

  13. Chained MAC (CMAC) • Final stage uses “additional key” • Derived from cipher key but hides relationship to key: • Encrypting all 0’s • Multiplying by x or x2over GF(2n)

  14. Chained MAC (CMAC) • Additional key XOR’d with final block • Crucial to use different key for last XOR • Avoids differential cryptanalysis of 2 messages with same beginning • MAC = leftmost n bits of result

  15. Chained MAC (CMAC) • Advantages: • Can use existing encryption functions • Encryption functions have properties that resist preimage and collision attacks • Ciphertext designed to appear like “random noise” – good approximation of random oracle model • Most exhibit strong avalanche effect – minor change in message gives great change in resulting MAC • Disadvantage: • Encryption algorithms (particularly when chained) can be much slower than hash algorithms
