Problem 2 Welcome to the Wonderful World of (14 points) People of earth, boys and girls, children of all ages, welcome to the wonderful world of block cipher, symmetric encryption, and hash functions!
(a) There are two symmetric encryption schemes, 𝖲𝗒𝗆𝖤𝗇𝖼𝖠 and 𝖲𝗒𝗆𝖤𝗇𝖼𝖡. Both implement valid encryption / decryption on a message / ciphertext, but one of them may be insecure.
Bob wants to combine these two schemes to avoid the risk of using a failed encryption scheme. He proposes the following combinational construction.
Construction I: The ciphertext of the message 𝑀 consists of two parts: 1. The first part of the ciphertext 𝐶𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡−1 = 𝖲𝗒𝗆𝖤𝗇𝖼𝖠.𝖤𝗇𝖼𝗋𝗒𝗉𝗍(𝑘; 𝑀).
2. The second part of the ciphertext 𝐶𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡−2 = 𝖲𝗒𝗆𝖤𝗇𝖼𝖡.𝖤𝗇𝖼𝗋𝗒𝗉𝗍(𝑘; 𝑀). 3. That is, the ciphertext is 𝐶 = (𝐶𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡−1, 𝐶𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡−2).
⋄ Question: Is the Construction I secure if at least one of the symmetric encryption schemes is secure? Why?
• If yes, fill the corresponding circle, and provide a concise description of why it can hide the message.
• If no, fill the corresponding circle, and provide a concise description of a counterexample. Please answer within 4 lines.

(b) Bob proposes another combinational construction. Construction II: To encrypt message 𝑀, there are two steps:
1. The intermediate value 𝐼 = 𝖲𝗒𝗆𝖤𝗇𝖼𝖠.𝖤𝗇𝖼𝗋𝗒𝗉𝗍(𝑘;𝑀), which means it encrypts 𝑀 directly under key 𝑘. This intermediate value is not the ciphertext.
2. The final ciphertext 𝐶 = 𝖲𝗒𝗆𝖤𝗇𝖼𝖡.𝖤𝗇𝖼𝗋𝗒𝗉𝗍(𝑘; 𝐼 ), which means it encrypts the intermediate value under key 𝑘.
3. That is, the ciphertext is 𝐶 = 𝖲𝗒𝗆𝖤𝗇𝖼𝖡.𝖤𝗇𝖼𝗋𝗒𝗉𝗍(𝑘; 𝖲𝗒𝗆𝖤𝗇𝖼𝖠.𝖤𝗇𝖼𝗋𝗒𝗉𝗍(𝑘; 𝑀))

(d) To make RSA signatures secure, we can apply a cryptographic hash function 𝐻 over the message 𝑀 , where the output of the hash function is a non-negative integer in {0, 1, …, 2256 − 1}. We know that this hash function 𝐻 must be second-preimage resistant; otherwise, another message 𝑀′ ≠ 𝑀 can be found that also matches the signature.
Later, the RSA signature is computed as follows:
𝑑
(mod 𝑛),
𝑠𝑖𝑔 = 𝐻 (𝑀)
where 𝑛 is the RSA modulo, (𝑒, 𝑛) forms the RSA public key, (𝑑, 𝑛) forms the RSA private key, and 𝑒𝑑 ≡ 1 (mod 𝜙(𝑛)), where 𝜙(𝑛) is Euler’s totient function.
Alice wonders whether she can customize her hash function. She creates another function 𝐻′, modified from 𝐻 :
𝐻′(𝑥) = 𝐻(𝑥) − 𝐻(′′Alice′′) (mod 2256).
⋄ Question: Can we use 𝐻 ′ instead of 𝐻 for RSA signature for every possible message that Alice
might sign?
Yes. No.

Problem 4 OTP-KE (9 points) Alice and Bob want to communicate securely. They come up with a new key exchange protocol, inspired by the Diffie-Hellman key exchange but based on the security properties of the one-time pad. Assume 𝐸𝐾(𝑀) is a one-time-pad with message 𝑀 and key 𝐾. The two of them randomly generate 𝐴 and 𝐵, which will be their own unique one-time pad keys. Alice also generates a truly random key 𝑆, which is the symmetric key she and Bob want to agree on and will be used for further communication after the key exchange.
To execute the protocol, Alice uses one-time-pad encryption to encrypt 𝑆 using her secret key 𝐴, then sends 𝐸𝐴(𝑆) to Bob. Bob encrypts the resulting message using his secret key and sends back 𝐸𝐵 (𝐸𝐴(𝑆)). Alice decrypts that message and sends back 𝐷𝐴 (𝐸𝐵 (𝐸𝐴(𝑆))).
Please answer each of the following questions in three sentences or less. Longer responses will not get credit.
(a) Explain how Alice and Bob can agree on 𝑆 based on this protocol.
(b) Is this protocol secure against a passive attacker?
Yes No
If yes, explain why. If no, provide an attack.
(c) Is this protocol secure against an active attacker?
Yes No

(b) NowsupposethatAliceandBobbothwishtolearnthecommonelementsintheirlists.Tothisend, they engage in a new protocol inspired by Diffie/Hellman. They agree on a large prime number 𝑝. Alice chooses a secret value 𝛼 uniformly at random from the set {1, 2, 3, … , 𝑝 − 2, 𝑝 − 1}. Bob follows the same procedure to choose a secret value 𝛽. They then exchange four messages sequentially, as follows. (𝐻 is a secure hash function.)
1. 2. 3. 4. i.
ii.
Alice → Bob: (𝐻(𝑎 ))𝛼,(𝐻(𝑎 ))𝛼,…,(𝐻(𝑎 ))𝛼 (all modulo 𝑝) 12𝑛
Bob → Alice: (𝐻(𝑏 ))𝛽,(𝐻(𝑏 ))𝛽,…,(𝐻(𝑏 ))𝛽 (all modulo 𝑝) 12𝑛
Alice → Bob: ??????????????????????????????????? Bob → Alice: ???????????????????????????????????
What values should Alice and Bob send to each other in steps 3 and 4? They should be able to identify values that exist in both their lists. They should not be able to identify any value in the other person’s list if is not equal to some value in their own list.
3. Alice → Bob: ____________________________________________________________
4. Bob → Alice: ____________________________________________________________
Now suppose that Bob decides to cheat in step 4. Instead of sending the correct message to Alice, he wishes to make Alice believe that their lists are identical. Alice follows the protocol as before, and does not expect Bob to cheat.
⋄ Question: What values should Bob send to Alice in step 4 to achieve this? ________________________________________________________________________
Problem 6 Network Security (20 points) Answer the following questions about network security.

What kind of threat model best describes Mallory when she first joins the network, with respect to Bob’s connection with DeCafe router’s?
Off-path attacker In-path attacker
On-path attacker None of these
(b) Bob returns home and types into his browser www.foocorp.com. Suppose that Mallory has managed to poison the DNS cache on Bob’s laptop, such that it now thinks the IP address of www.foocorp.com is 6.6.6.6, which is the IP address of a server that Mallory controls.

Assuming all DNS servers used DNSSEC with plain NSEC, then FooCorp’s decision to use short TTLs will increase the amount of work that the DNS servers of FooCorp’s parent zone need to perform
Short TTLs increase the number of requests FooCorp’s DNS servers need to support
Short TTLs help protect against DNS cache poisoning attacks by an on-path attacker
Short TTLs help protect against blind- spoofing attacks
None of the above
(f) FooCorp hosts all of its servers on machines provided by CheapCloud: a large, but unreliable, cloud hosting provider. CheapCloud suffers from two major problems: (i) they have frequent data breaches; and (ii) they often need to assign new IP addresses to their customers’ servers. Nevertheless, CheapCloud promptly notifies their customers whenever either of these events occurs.
⋄ Question: Which of the following designs or techniques can FooCorp use to help mitigate some of the security issues caused specifically by CheapCloud’s poor environment?
FooCorp uses plain DNS and sets short TTLs for all of its DNS responses
FooCorp uses RSA-based TLS with certifi- cate pinning

Behind the hood, the FILE struct is implemented in stdio.h as follows:
struct _IO_FILE ; /∗ implementation omitted ∗/
typedef struct {
struct _IO_FILE ufile ; struct _IO_jump_t ∗ vtable ;

int fclose(FILE ∗fp) { return fp−>vtable−>fclose(fp); } /∗ more implementations below omitted ∗/
Make the following assumptions:
1. No memory safety defenses are enabled.
2. The compiler does not perform any optimizations, reorder any variables, nor add any padding in between struct members.
3. The implementation of the function fopen has been omitted. Assume a sensible implementation of fopen that initializes the ufile and vtable fields of the FILE struct to sensible values.

(a) Mallory is a student in CS 161, with the student ID of 12345678. She wants to use a CSRF attack to change her exam score to 100 percent. She overhears her TA mention in discussion that he likes to visit http://cool-web-forum.com which Mallory happens to know does not properly sanitize HTML in user inputs.
⋄ Question: Give an input which Mallory can post to the forum in order to execute a CSRF attack to change her exam score, assuming there are no CSRF defenses on cs161.org.
______________________________________________________________________

(b) The TA then visits the web forum, yet Mallory’s grade does not change. Mallory deduces that the 161 staff must have included a defense for CSRF on their webpage. Not one to be deterred, Mallory decides to attempt her attack again.
The login page has an open redirect: It can be provided a webpage to automatically redirect to after the user successfully authenticates. For example the URL:
http://cs161.org/login?to=http://google.com would redirect any logged in user to http://google.com.
Using this information, Mallory crafts the following attack—replacing your URL in part (a) with the following URL:
http://cs161.org/login?to=http://cs161.org/updatefinal?sid=12345678&score=100
A few minutes later, Mallory observes that her final grade is changed to a 100 percent. Which of the following are CSRF defenses that Mallory might have circumvented?

A Javascript popup immediately appears on her screen. Mallory smiles, realizing that she can weaponize this to login as her TA. She returns to the web forum that her TA frequently visits and posts a link.
Assume that Mallory’s TA will click on any link that he sees on the web forum, and assume that Mallory controls her own website http://mallory.com.
⋄ Question: How can Mallory pull off her attack and login as her TA? Make sure to include the link she posts on the forum in your answer. If you assume that Mallory’s website has any scripts running, you must define what they are and what inputs they take in.

size_t fread(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, FILE *stream);
The function fread() reads _nmemb_ items of data, each _size_ bytes long,
from the stream pointed to by _stream_, storing them at the location
given by _ptr_.
size_t fwrite(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, FILE *stream);
The function fwrite() writes _nmemb_ items of data, each _size_ bytes
long, to the stream pointed to by _stream_, obtaining them from the
location given by _ptr_.
int fclose(FILE *stream);
