Analysis of attacks on variations of the Extended Hidden Number Problem

Analysis of attacks on variations of the Extended Hidden Number Problem
Abstract:
V práci analyzujeme problém únikov informácii z ECDSA noncov, so zameraním na veľmi malé úniky v strede noncu. Prinášame nové metódy, ktoré umožňujú pre tieto úniky použiť Bleichenbacherov útok. V práci skúmame tri rôzne typy únikov. Pre každý z nich prinášame metódy na presný odhad biasu. V práci ukazujeme, že úniky v strede noncov je možné využiť v niektorých konkrétnych prípadoch. Ukazujeme, že …more
Abstract:
This thesis explores the challenge of attacking information leaks from ECDSA nonces, focusing specifically on very small leaks located in the middle of nonces. The researchers introduce new methods that enable the implementation of Bleichenbacher’s attack for these specific leaks. The work investigates three different types of leaks, providing precise bias estimations for each. The study reveals that …more
