QUESTION
I want to use the Diffie Hellman
algorithm to securely exchange keys between a C++
server an a C#
client which both are running on Windows
. I tried using ECDiffieHellmanCng
in C#
to generate a public key as follows:

Answered 2021-May-19 at 19:11Since I simply wanted an encrypted connection, going with OpenSSL
was the way to go.

I have a hex representation of a plain public RSA key. Now I want to retrieve the length of the key.

It looks like that your key is encrypted and is invalid. See the structure:
QUESTION
I have to select file, split it on 10kb, encrypt and send it thru networkstream (tcp).
On server side, I have to receive it, decrypt it and save file on other location. Code is working and it transfers all bytes with byte[], but if I select image or word document you cannot open it, but they both have the same size. I am using combination of DiffieHellman and Aes.
Here is Server code:

QUESTION
My task is to reproduce the plot below:
It comes from this journal (pg 137-145)
In this article, the authors describe a kleptographic attack called SETUP against Diffie-Hellman keys exchange. In particular, they write this algorithm:
Now, in 2 the authors thought "Maybe we can implement honest DHKE and malicious DHKE, and then we compare the running time of the two algorithms". Then, the plot above was created. For this purpose, they say
"We have implemented contaminated and uncontaminated versions of Diffie-Hellman protocols in ANSI C and linked with RSAREF 2.0 library using GNU C v 2.7 compiler. All tests were run on Linux system using a computer with a Pentium II processor (350 MHz) and 64 Mb memory. Computation time for a single protocol was measured in 10- 2s."
I want to do the same, i.e. implement good and evil DH and compare the running time. This is the code I produced:
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Oct-24 at 06:38The problem is most easily understood using a concrete example: Alice has a device that generates Diffie-Hellman keys for her. On this device the malicious Diffie Hellman variant is implemented.
Implementation of the malicious DH variant / SETUPThe malicious DH variant is defined as follows, s. here, sec. 3.1:
MDH1: For the first generated key pair the following applies:
- The private key c1 is a random value smaller than p-1. c1 is stored for later use.
- The public key is calculated according to m1 = gc1 mod p.
- The device provides Alice with the private key (c1) and the public key (m1).
MDH2: For the second generated key pair the following applies:
- A random t is chosen (0 or 1).
- z2 is calculated according to z2 = g(c1 - Wt) * Y(-ac1 - b) mod p.
- The private key c2 is calculated according to H(z2). Here H is a cryptographic hash function. c2 is stored for later use.
- The public key is calculated according to m2 = gc2 mod p.
- The device provides Alice with the private key (c2) and the public key (m2).
MDHi: What happens for the third and subsequent key pairs? The same algorithm is used as for the second generated key pair, i.e. for example for the third key exchange, c2 is now used instead of c1 and m2 is now used instead of m1, or in general if the i-th key pair ci, mi is generated:
- A random t is chosen (0 or 1).
- zi is calculated according to zi = g(ci-1 - Wt) * Y(-aci-1 - b) mod p.
- The private key ci is calculated according to H(zi). Here H is (the same) cryptographic hash function. ci is stored for later use.
- The public key is calculated according to mi = gci mod p.
- The device provides Alice with the private key (ci) and the public key (mi).
Note that there are two categories of key exchange processes, MDH1 and MDHi, which will later play an important role in the discussion of timing behavior.
Evaluation of the posted implementation of the malicious DH variant:
SETUP (Secretly Embedded Trapdoor with Universal Protection) is not implemented by the implementation of the malicious DH variant posted in the question.
SETUP establishes a relationship between two consecutive generated key pairs. This makes it possible to derive the private key of the last key generation from two such correlated public keys, which can be intercepted e.g. during the key exchange process.
But for this, the private key must be passed between successive key generations to use it in the last key generation for establishing this relationship. This does not happen in the implementation, so that the required relationship cannot be achieved.
From a more technical point of view, the implementation fails mainly because the cases MDH1 and MDHi are not implemented separately but together as a closed process. Closed in the sense that the private key is not stored between successive calls, so it cannot be passed on. Subsequent calls of the implementation therefore generate random key pairs that are not in the required relationship to each other.
Also note that from the similar time behaviour (only similar, because e.g. the secondary peak is missing, which will be discussed below) of the posted implementation and the implementation used in the papers, of course no working implementation can be concluded.
A working Python implementation of SETUP or the malicious Diffie-Hellman variant could look like this:
QUESTION
I want to use nodeJS as a server side language. NodeJS have crypto module where DiffieHellman is a class. So, I can use this method to generate key and compute key.
But, client also need to create another instance of diffiehellman class. But how to do that? Can I use crypto module on client side? If yes then how, any solution? Here are my client side code...
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Aug-19 at 08:30Not sure what you're planning to achieve here, but it appears there's such port for browser:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/crypto-browserify.
createDiffieHellman
is on the list of already ported modules. Especially take a look at the example: https://github.com/crypto-browserify/crypto-browserify/tree/master/example. Instead of createHash
I believe you could try invoking createDiffieHellman
.
QUESTION
I have nodejs application (as a server) deployed as a Docker container and I want to count the number of executed instructions when I call a function in it.
Here is how I find the container's PID:
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Aug-25 at 10:46You can get the PID of one of you processes (the parent) and deduce the others using pgrep
.
pgrep
has a neat feature --ns
which will get you all the processes running in the same PID namespace as a given PID.
Having that you can get all the child process and convert them to comma separated values and feed them to perf

Install diffiehellman
You can use diffiehellman like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
