Download or read book Lattice Based Public Key Cryptography in Hardware written by Sujoy Sinha Roy and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the efficient implementation of public-key cryptography (PKC) to address the security challenges of massive amounts of information generated by the vast network of connected devices, ranging from tiny Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags to powerful desktop computers. It investigates implementation aspects of post quantum PKC and homomorphic encryption schemes whose security is based on the hardness of the ring-learning with error (LWE) problem. The work includes designing an FPGA-based accelerator to speed up computation on encrypted data in the cloud computer. It also proposes a more practical scheme that uses a special module called recryption box to assist homomorphic function evaluation, roughly 20 times faster than the implementation without this module.

Book excerpt: Lattice-based cryptography is a promising post-quantum cryptographic approach that can withstand potential attacks from future quantum computers. This book will introduce the theoretical mathematics that underpins lattice-based cryptography, such as the hard problems based on lattices upon which the security of lattice-based cryptosystems rely. It will provide examples of how these hard problems can be used to build basic lattice-based cryptographic primitives, namely encryption, digital signatures and key exchange, in addition to more advanced primitives such as identity-based encryption (IBE), attribute-based encryption (ABE) and hierarchical identity-based encryption (HIBE). Subsequently, the practical aspects of designing efficient and robust lattice-based cryptosystems in both hardware and software will be detailed. The resilience of lattice-based implementations to physical attacks will be discussed in addition to appropriate countermeasures that can be integrated into implementations to defend against such attacks. Finally, three case studies will be described to illustrate how lattice-based cryptography can be successfully embedded into real-world scenarios.

Download or read book Towards Practical Lattice based Cryptography written by Vadim Lyubashevsky and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lattice-based cryptography began with the seminal work of Ajtai (Ajtai '96) who showed that it is possible to build families of cryptographic functions in which breaking a randomly chosen element of the family is as hard as solving worst-case instances of lattice problems. This work generated great interest and resulted in constructions of many other cryptographic protocols with security based on worst-case lattice problems. An additional advantage of lattice-based primitives is that, unlike their counterparts based on factoring and discrete log, they are conjectured to be secure in the advent of quantum computing. The main disadvantage of lattice-based constructions is that they generally involve operations on, and storage of, large n x n matrices. This resulted in the schemes being rather inefficient and unsuitable for practical use. To cope with this inherent inefficiency, Micciancio proposed to build lattice-based primitives based on the worst-case hardness of lattices that have some additional structure. In (Micciancio '02), he showed how to build one-way functions, computable in almost linear time, with security based on worst-case problems on such lattices. While interesting from a theoretical perspective, one-way functions are not very useful in practice. Our goal in this thesis is to present constructions of practical and efficient cryptographic protocols whose security is based on worst-case hardness of lattice problems. We first show how to build collision-resistant hash functions whose security is based on the hardness of lattice problems in all lattices with a special structure. The special structure that the lattices possess is that they are ideals of certain polynomial rings. The hash functions that we build have almost linear running time, and in practice turn out to be essentially as efficient as ad-hoc constructions that have no provable security. We also give constructions of provably-secure identification and signature schemes whose asymptotic running times are almost linear (up to poly-logarithmic factors), and so these schemes are much more efficient than comparable primitives with security based on factoring and discrete log. Thus our work implies that by considering ideal lattices, it is possible to have the best of both worlds: security based on worst-case problems and optimal efficiency.

Download or read book Complexity of Lattice Problems written by Daniele Micciancio and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lattices are geometric objects that can be pictorially described as the set of intersection points of an infinite, regular n-dimensional grid. De spite their apparent simplicity, lattices hide a rich combinatorial struc ture, which has attracted the attention of great mathematicians over the last two centuries. Not surprisingly, lattices have found numerous ap plications in mathematics and computer science, ranging from number theory and Diophantine approximation, to combinatorial optimization and cryptography. The study of lattices, specifically from a computational point of view, was marked by two major breakthroughs: the development of the LLL lattice reduction algorithm by Lenstra, Lenstra and Lovasz in the early 80's, and Ajtai's discovery of a connection between the worst-case and average-case hardness of certain lattice problems in the late 90's. The LLL algorithm, despite the relatively poor quality of the solution it gives in the worst case, allowed to devise polynomial time solutions to many classical problems in computer science. These include, solving integer programs in a fixed number of variables, factoring polynomials over the rationals, breaking knapsack based cryptosystems, and finding solutions to many other Diophantine and cryptanalysis problems.
