SCALE 05: Southern California Linux Expo 2005, LA, 02-13-2005 p.1/23
Cryptography and Its Goals

Confidentiality (secrecy)
Integrity (anti-tampering)
Authentication
Non-repudiation
Snooping (passive eavesdropping)
Tampering
Spoofing
Hijacking
Capture-replay

SCALE 05: Southern California Linux Expo 2005, LA, 02-13-2005 p.2/23
Crytographic Algorithms

Symmetric Key Encryption: DES, 3DES, AES, IDEA, BLOWFISH: Faster

Public Key Encryption: Diffie Hellman (1976, New Directions in


Cryptography), RSA, DSA: Slower

Cryptographic Hash Functions : MD2, MD5 (16 byte), SHA (20 bytes):
One Way, Fixed Output, Collision Free

HMAC: Message Authentication Codes based on Hash Functions


are called HMAC
Digital Signatures: Hash signed with the Private Key

Secure Socket Layer and Transport Layer Security

History and Versions: SSL/TLS


Developed by Netscape, 1996 and then served as a basis for TLS, an IETF
standard protocol

TLS 1.1 - RFC 2246 12/2004, Expires 06/2005

SSL v 3.0 - Internet Draft Expires 9/96


https: HTTP Over TLS: RFC 2818
Early Weak Keys
Earlier a restriction of 40-bit keyspace small enough to be broken by Brute Force
Search. Modern implementations use 128-bit (or longer) keys for symmetric key
ciphers.
