This paper proposes an extended RSA public-key cryptosystem which extends a conventional one. The number of multiplication times has been increased by extending the modulus parameters p, q. This result shows the increase of computational complexity which required in cryptanalysis. It also improves the strength of RSA public key cryptosystem through this proof which is based on integral number theory.

A side channel analysis is a very efficient attack against small devices such as smart cards and wireless sensor nodes. In this paper, we propose an efficient key detection method using a peak selection algorithm in order to find the advanced encryption standard secret key from electromagnetic signals. The proposed method is applied to a correlation electromagnetic analysis (CEMA) attack against a wireless sensor node. Our approach results in increase in the correlation coefficient in comparison with the general CEMA. The experimental results show that the proposed method can efficiently and reliably uncover the entire 128-bit key with a small number of traces, whereas some extant methods can reveal only partial subkeys by using a large number of traces in the same conditions.

Kumar 등은 interlacing과 decomposition을 적용한 112-비트 블록 암호를 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 이 블록 암호에 대한 첫 번째 분석 결과를 소개한다. 이 블록 암호를 구성하는 연산들은 모두 선형성만을 가지고 있다. 따라서 112개의 독립인 평문/암호문 쌍이 주어졌을 경우, 비밀키를 복구하지 않더라도 임의의 암호문을 복호화할 수 있다. 본 논문의 분석 결과를 통하여 이 블록 암호는 매우 취약함을 알 수 있다.

In this paper, a new asymmetric public key cryptography based on the modified RSA algorithm is proposed by using logic-based optical processing. The proposed asymmetric public key algorithm is realized into an optical schematic, where AND, OR and XOR logic operations are implemented by using free space digital optics architecture. Schematically, the proposed optical configuration has an advantage of generating the public keys simultaneously. Another advantage is that the suggested optical setup can also be used for message encryption and decryption by simply replacing data inputs of SLMs in the optical configuration. The last merit is that the optical configuration has a 2-D array data format which can increase the key length easily. This can provide longer 2-D key length resulting in a higher security cryptosystem than the conventional 1-D key length cryptosystem. Results of numerical simulation and differential cryptanalysis are presented to verify that the proposed method shows the effectiveness in the optical asymmetric cryptographic system.

In this paper, we analyze a dynamic threshold decryption scheme proposed by Long et al. It was claimed that the scheme allows to renew the master key, or to add/remove or update a decryption server, without leaking any information on the master key and changing other decryption server's secret keys. We present an attack to Long et al's scheme by using the fact that it renews a decryption server's secret key without changing other decryption server's secret shares.

Multi-server password authentication schemes enable remote users to obtain service from multiple servers with single password without separately registering to each server. In 2007, Hu-Niu-Yang proposed an improved efficient password authenticated key agreement scheme for multi-server architecture based on Chang-Lee's scheme proposed in 2004. This scheme is claimed to be more efficient and is able to overcome a few existing deficiencies in Chang-Lee's scheme. However, we find false claim of forward secrecy property and some potential threats such as offline dictionary attack, key-compromise attack, and poor reparability in their scheme. In this paper, we will discuss these issues in depth.

In traditional digital signature schemes, certificates signed by a trusted party are required to ensure the authenticity of the public key. In Asiacrypt 2003, the concept of certificateless signature scheme was introduced. The advantage of certificateless public key cryptography successfully eliminates the necessity of certificates in the traditional public key cryptography and simultaneously solves the inherent key escrow problem suffered in identity-based cryptography. Recently, Yap et al. proposed an efficient certificateless signature scheme and claimed that their scheme is existentially unforgeable in the random oracle model. In this paper, we show that the certificateless signature scheme proposed by Yap et al. is insecure against public key replacement attacks. Furthermore, we propose an improved certificateless signature scheme, which is existentially unforgeable against adaptive chosen message attacks under the computational Diffie-Hellman assumption in the random oracle model and provide the security proof of the proposed scheme.

Impossible Differential Cryptanalysis (IDC) uses impossible differentials to discard wrong subkeys for the first or the last several rounds of block ciphers. Thus, the security of a block cipher against IDC can be evaluated by impossible differentials. This paper studies impossible differentials for Rijndael-like and 3D-like ciphers, we introduce methods to find 4-round impossible differentials of Rijndael-like ciphers and 6-round impossible differentials of 3D-like ciphers. Using our methods, various new impossible differentials of Rijndael and 3D could be searched out.

As a countermeasure to simple power attack, the unified point addition codes for the elliptic curve cryptosystem were introduced. However, some authors proposed a different kind of power attacks to the codes. This power attack uses the observation that some internal operations in the codes behave differently for addition and doubling. In this paper, we propose a new countermeasure against such an attack. The basic idea of the new countermeasure is that, if one of the input points of the codes is transformed to an equivalent point over the underlying finite field, then the code will behave in the same manner for addition and doubling. The new countermeasure is highly efficient in that it only requires 27(n-1)/3 extra ordinary integer subtractions (in average) for the whole n-bit scalar multiplication. The timing analysis of the proposed countermeasure is also presented to confirm its SPA resistance.

In 2004, Ku-Chen proposed an improvement to Chien et al.'s scheme to prevent from some weaknesses. Lee et al. also proposed an improvement to Chien et al.'s scheme to prevent from parallel session attack. This paper, however, will demonstrate that Ku-Chen's scheme is still vulnerable to the parallel session attack and Lee et al.'s scheme is also vulnerable to masquerading server attack.
