Fault-injection attack on countermeasure algorithms of RSA-CRT cryptosystem by Fanyu KONG, Yong QIAO, Pengtao LIU, Xiaodong LIU, Dashui ZHOU

“…As a widely-applied public-key cryptosystem in TLS,SSL and IPSec protocols,the security of RSA cryptosystem is of great importance.At FDTC 2014,Rauzy and Guilley proposed several improved countermeasure algorithms of RSA implementation based on Chinese remainder theorem,which were used to defeat fault-injection attacks.New fault-injection attacks on two of their countermeasure algorithms are proposed.During the RSA computation process,a permanent fault is injected and then a faulty RSA signature result is induced.The RSA private key can be obtained by using the faulty RSA signature and the correct result.Therefore,Rauzy and Guilley’s two countermeasure algorithms cannot resist our fault-injection attack.…”

Verifiable special threshold secret sharing scheme based on eigenvalue by Yanshuo ZHANG, Wenjing LI, Lei CHEN, Wei BI, Tao YANG

“…Utilizing the characteristic that the characteristic equation of the n-th order matrix have multiple roots,the secret distributor distributes two different sub-keys to each participant,and these two sub-keys satisfy two conditions:linear independent and equality of the corresponding characteristic values.In the process of sub-key distribution and master key recovery,the black box can judge the authenticity of the participants’ activities through the characteristics of the sub-keys.If the two sub-keys have satisfied two conditions of linear independence and equal feature values,it can be determined that the participant’s activity is honest,otherwise,it can be determined that there exists fraudulent activity.The analysis results show that the scheme is correct,secure,and the information rate is 12.…”
