Authenticated Encryption (AE)


Unforgeable Encryption [Katz-Yung’00]
Authenticated Encryption - Generic composition
for probabilistic encryption [Bellare-Namprempre’00]
 Encrypt-then-MAC
(IPsec)
 MAC-then-Encrypt (TLS)
 Encrypt-and-MAC

Note: nonce-based Authenticated Encryption
seems more relevant [Rogaway’13]

AE: composition

Encryption
 block cipher in CBC, CFB modes
 nonce reuse: suboptimal but mostly ok in practice
 synchronous stream cipher + block
 performance may be better
 highly insecure with nonce reuse

cipher in OFB/CTR
Message Authentication Code
 MAC without nonce: robust
 HMAC, CMAC, EMAC, Pelican MAC, PMAC …
 MAC with nonce: highly insecure if none
 UMAC, GMAC, (VMAC, Poly1305-AES)
reuse

AEGIS Design Goal

Ultra fast nonce-based AE for network
communication
 reducing
packet delay due to
authentication/encryption on a busy server
 for high speed TLS, IPsec, VPN, SSH
 try to make optimal use of AES-NI

Security claims

Requirements for implementation
 each key and nonce pair can be used only once



if verification fails, the decrypted message and wrong
message authentication tag should not be given as output
Forgery attack: success prob. 2-t with t the tag size
Key and state cannot be recovered faster than brute
force if forgery attack is not successful
 128-bit
tags strongly recommended
14
Security analysis of AE
Authentication
 Encryption
 Does authentication affect encryption?

tag  easy forgery, and results in chosen
ciphertext attack against encryption
 short

Does encryption weaken authentication?
 ciphertext
leaks state information, which may
benefit a forgery attack

such as partial state value, state collision
15
Security

Authentication
a
difference in ciphertext passes through at
least 5 AES rounds


stronger than Pelican MAC (4 AES rounds)
Encryption

AEGIS encryption is a stream cipher with
nonlinear state update function

differential and linear analysis is precluded
16
Security: does authentication affect
encryption?


AEGIS without MAC is vulnerable to a chosen
ciphertext attack
To preclude chosen ciphertext attack
1) if tag verification fails, the decrypted plaintext should
not be given as output
2) the tag size should be sufficiently large to resist a
chosen-ciphertext attack
(128-bit tag recommended)
17
Security: does encryption weaken
authentication?



At each step, AEGIS leaks 128-bit keystream, i.e.,
128-bit state information
The overall differential probability of the forgery
attack against AEGIS increases
But the differential probability that a difference
propagates through 5 AES rounds is not affected
 reason:
at each step, the information leaked on Si,j is of
the form:
Si ,1  (Si , 2 & Si ,3 )  Si , 4
