CBC-R [8] turns a decryption oracle into an encryption oracle, and is primarily demonstrated against padding oracles. Using padding oracle attack CBC-R can craft an initialization vector and ciphertext block for any plaintext: decrypt any ciphertext P i = PODecrypt( C i) XOR C i−1, select previous cipherblock C x−1 freely,
D n = Decrypt (K, C n−1). Decrypt C n−1 to create D n. This undoes step 4 of the encryption process. E n−1 = C n || Tail (D n, B−M). Pad C n with the extracted ciphertext in the tail end of D n (placed there in step 3 of the ECB encryption process). P n = Head (D n, M). Select the first M bits of D n to create P n.
CBC decryption example with a toy 2-bit cipher CBC has been the most commonly used mode of operation. Its main drawbacks are that encryption is sequential (i.e., it cannot be parallelized), and that the message must be padded to a multiple of the cipher block size.
It makes some of the plaintext structure visible in the ciphertext. Selecting other modes, such as using a sequential counter over the block prior to encryption (i.e., CTR mode) and removing it after decryption avoids this problem. Another mode, Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) is one of the most commonly used modes of AES due to its use in TLS. CBC ...
The attacker can then combine the oracle with a systematic search of the problem space to complete their attack. [1] The padding oracle attack, and compression oracle attacks such as BREACH, are examples of oracle attacks, as was the practice of "crib-dragging" in the cryptanalysis of the Enigma machine. An oracle need not be 100% accurate ...
When a cryptosystem is vulnerable to chosen-ciphertext attack, implementers must be careful to avoid situations in which an adversary might be able to decrypt chosen-ciphertexts (i.e., avoid providing a decryption oracle). This can be more difficult than it appears, as even partially chosen ciphertexts can permit subtle attacks.
The challenger selects a bit b ∈ {0, 1} uniformly at random, and sends the "challenge" ciphertext C = E(PK, M b) back to the adversary. The adversary is free to perform any number of additional computations or encryptions. In the non-adaptive case (IND-CCA1), the adversary may not make further calls to the decryption oracle.
The oracle returns the bitwise exclusive-or of the key with the string of zeroes. The string returned by the oracle is the secret key. While the one-time pad is used as an example of an information-theoretically secure cryptosystem, this security only holds under security definitions weaker than CPA security. This is because under the formal ...
