5. 04/07/06 Exploiting Chosen-Prefix Attacks Hash trees are vulnerable to collision attacks! Recall chosen prefix collision attacks  Allow attacker to chose prefix  Known for MD5, SHA0, others; suspect for SHA1 For any prefix p Attack finds two collisions c, c’ S.t. for any suffix s holds: h(p||c||s)=h(p||c’||s) Implications / exploits?  Colliding, different executables, documents (ps…)  Duplicate `tickets` (sign m=“ticket #”||n, n by subject)

10. 04/07/06 Euler Theorem & Function Φ(n) The Euler function of n, denoted Φ(n), is the number of positive integers less than n and co-prime to n. For every prime p holds Φ(p)=p-1 For primes p, q holds Φ(pq)=(p-1)(q-1) Euler’s Theorem: if a, n are co-primes then a Φ(n) =1 mod n  Fermat’s Theorem: if p is primes then a p-1 =1 mod p  Also: a x mod Φ(n) =a x mod n; a 1 mod Φ(n) =a mod n  Also: a -1 =a Φ(n)-1 mod n  easy to compute inverse mod n n123456789101112131415 Φ(n ) 11224264641041268
