Definitions
- a two-party communication system using symmetric key encryption can be described as follows.
- the first party communicates its encryption key to the second party over a secure channel.
- the first party then encrypts the secret message using the key and transmits the encrypted message to the second party via a public or unsecured channel.
- the second party then decrypts the encrypted message using the symmetric key that has been communicated to the second party over the secure channel.
- a major problem with such encryption systems is an efficient method for exchanging the secret keys, i. H. to find a safe channel.
- asymmetrical encryption is carried out as follows. A party wishing to receive a secret message shares its public key with the other your party, that is, the party from which you want to receive a secret message. The public key is communicated via an unsecured channel, ie via a "public" channel.
- the party wishing to send a secret message receives the public key of the other party, the message encrypted using the public key and sends the encrypted message again Ü "over a non-secure channel, ie via a public channel to the Party from which the public key originated: Only the party that generated the public key is able to provide a private key to decrypt the encrypted message, not even the party that uses the public key an encrypted message is able to decrypt the message.
- An advantage of this concept is that no secure channel, ie no secret key exchange, is required between the two parties. The party who encrypted the message must and may the recipient's private key t know.
- a physical analogue to the asymmetrical encryption concept or public key encryption concept is as follows. Consider a metal box, the lid of which is secured by a combination lock. The combination only knows the party who wants to receive an encrypted message. If the lock is left open and made publicly available, anyone who wants to send a secret message can put this message in the metal box and close the lid. However, only the person from whom the box comes knows the combination of the combination lock. Only he is able to decrypt the message, ie to open the metal box again. Even the one who put the message in the box is no longer able to get it out.
- RSA cryptosystem Essential for asymmetrical or public key encryption concepts is the underlying mathematical problem, the solution of which is almost impossible to use using the public key for decryption, but whose solution is easily possible with knowledge of the private key.
- One of the best known public key cryptosystems is the RSA cryptosystem.
- the RSA cryptosystem is described in the "Handbook of Applied Cryptography", Menezes, van Oorschot, Vanstone, CRC Press 1997, pages 285-291.
- FIG. 3 in order to represent the RSA algorithm.
- the starting point is that one communication partner encrypts a message m, which the other communication partner must decrypt again.
- the encrypting entity must first receive the public key (s, e) in a step 200 in order to be able to send the other party an encrypted message at all.
- the encrypting entity must represent the message to be encrypted as an integer m in a step 210, where m must lie in the interval from 0 to n-1.
- the encrypting entity In a step 220, which is the actual encryption step, the encrypting entity must calculate the following equation:
- c is the encrypted message. This is then output in a step 230 and transmitted to the recipient of the encrypted message via a public channel, which is labeled 240 in FIG. 2.
- the latter receives the encrypted message c in a step 250 and performs the following calculation in a step 260, which is the actual decryption step: mc d mod n.
- the Chinese remainder of the sentence is described in the “Handbook of Applied Cryptography, which was mentioned earlier, on page 610 ff.
- the Chinese remainder theorem, and particularly in its form, which is known as Garner 's algorithm, is based on splitting the modular exponentiation with the module n into two modular exponentiations of second sub-modules p, q, the sub-modules p, q being prime numbers and the product of which gives the module n.
- a modular exponentiation with a long module is thus broken down into two modular exponentiations with shorter (typically half as long) sub-modules.
- This method is advantageous in that only half as long arithmetic units are required or that, with the same length of an arithmetic unit, twice as long numbers can be used, which results in a more favorable ratio of security to chip area, that is generally in a better ratio of Performance at price results.
- Mp c dp mod p.
- Mq Another auxiliary variable Mq is calculated as follows:
- the plain text message m is calculated as follows if c is the encrypted message:
- the Chinese remainder set reduces the computing time efficiency or the chip area consumption of a security IC
- the Chinese remainder set poses problems due to attacks on the cryptography system, such as B. so-called side-channel attacks, performance analyzes or
- the object of the present invention is to provide a safe and efficient concept for calculating the modular exponentiation, which protects the RSA signature by means of CRT against error attacks.
- the present invention is based on the knowledge that the security of the modular exponentiation, which is the basic operation for RSA encryption, can be increased even if the Chinese remainder theorem is used in order to be able to calculate the RSA exponentiation more efficiently.
- Another advantage of the present invention is that existing crypto processors, with which the RSA exponentiation can be calculated using the CRT, do not have to be modified, but only the standard CRT parameters have to be modified, but not the central calculation steps for the calculation of the two modular exponents using the sub-modules. This means that all existing structures for key management of the RSA keys can continue to be used.
- FIG. 1 shows a device for calculating the modular exposure according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, in which the exponents of the auxiliary exponentiations are randomized;
- FIG. 2a shows a section of a device for calculating the modular exponentiation according to a second
- Embodiment of the present invention that can be used either alone or together with the first embodiment of the present invention, the sub-modules being randomized;
- Fig. 3 is a schematic flow diagram of the RSA algorithm for encryption and decryption.
- the input parameters are two prime numbers p, q, whose products result in the module n of the modular exponentiation.
- Another input parameter is the key d.
- the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention is illustrated using the decryption in the RSA algorithm.
- An encrypted message c becomes private using the Key d the decrypted message m calculated according to the following equation:
- the device according to the invention comprises a device 100 for calculating the first auxiliary variable dp according to the following equation:
- Another device 102 for calculating a second auxiliary variable dq executes the following equation:
- the device according to the invention for calculating a result of a modular exponentiation further comprises a device 104 for generating a random number IRND 104. This device is in turn followed by a device 106 in order to calculate a third auxiliary variable dp 'according to the following equation:
- the third auxiliary variable dp ' is thus a randomized exponent of the first auxiliary exponentiation, which is calculated by means 110 for calculating the fifth auxiliary variable Mp, which is designed to carry out the following equation:
- Mp c dp mod p.
- a device 108 is provided to calculate a fourth auxiliary variable dq 'according to the following equation:
- a means 112 calculates the sixth auxiliary variable Mq using the fourth auxiliary variable, which represents the randomized exponent of the second auxiliary exponentiation:
- a device 114 finally calculates the result m, i.e. H. in the present example the decrypted message, according to the following equation:
- a device according to a second exemplary embodiment of the present invention comprises a device 120 for generating a prime number T as a security parameter, which is preferably a relatively small prime number, so that the computing time advantage of the Chinese remaining sentence is not “sacrificed” too much in favor of security.
- the result of the first auxiliary exponentiation Mp is then not used by the devices using the original auxiliary sub-modules p, q, but instead using the auxiliary sub-modules px T or qx T with the safety parameter 110 'or 112', the change in sub-modules p, q alone, ie without randomizing the
- Auxiliary exponents dp 'and dq' provide increased security against cryptographic attacks.
- the safest variant according to the present invention is to use both the randomization of the auxiliary exponents, as shown in FIG. 1, and the modified auxiliary modules, as shown in FIG. 2a.
- the intermediate result check by the device 140 ensures that the algorithm is terminated even before a result is output if, for example, an error attack has been carried out on the security IC during the calculation of M p and / or M q .
- This attack will fail because, in the event of such an attack, "CRT error" is generated by the device 140, so that no output is received and the error attack is therefore ineffective.
- this protection by the intermediate result check is relatively inexpensive, since the parameter T is preferably a small prime number, so that the exponentiation in block 140 of FIG. 2b has a small exponent in comparison to the module.
- 100 means for calculating a first auxiliary variable dp 102 means for calculating a second auxiliary variable dq 104 means for generating a random number IRND 106 means for generating a third auxiliary variable dp '108 means for generating a fourth auxiliary variable dq' 110 means for calculating a fifth auxiliary variable Mp 110 'means for generating the fifth auxiliary variable Mp using a modified sub-module 112 means for calculating a sixth auxiliary variable Mq 112' means for generating the sixth auxiliary variable Mq using a modified sub-module 114 means for calculating the result of the modular exponentiation 120 means for generating the Safety parameters T 140 device for calculating a seventh auxiliary variable H7 and an eighth auxiliary variable H8 142 device for confirming the correspondence of the seventh and eighth auxiliary variables 144 device for indicating an error in the CRT 200 Obtaining the public key 210 representing the message as a number 220 computing c 230 output c 240 channel

Abstract
L'invention concerne un dispositif pour calculer le résultat d'une exponentiation modulaire, pour lequel on applique le théorème chinois des restes (CRT), selon lequel deux exponentiations auxiliaires sont calculées au moyen de deux exposants auxiliaires et de deux sous-modules. L'invention vise à augmenter la sécurité du calcul RSA-CRT face aux attaques cryptographiques. A cet effet, les exposants auxiliaires sont rendus aléatoires et/ou les sous-modules sont modifiés. Ainsi, le théorème chinois des restes, par l'efficacité de son temps de calcul, permet un décodage ou un codage RSA sûr.
