Menu• Legality of discussing RSA
• Properties of RSA– Correct (last Thursday)
– Easy to compute if you know the key
– Hard to break if you don’t know the key
CS588 Spring 2005 3
Properties of E and D
Trap-door one way function:1. D (E (M)) = M
2. E and D are easy to compute.
3. Revealing E doesn’t reveal an easy way to compute D
Trap-door one way permutation: also4. E (D (M)) = M
CS588 Spring 2005 4
Property 4: E (D (M)) = M
D(M) = Md mod n
E(D(M)) = (Md mod n)e mod n
= Mde mod n
= Med mod n
= M
(from the property 1 proof)

Properties of E and D
Trap-door one way function:1. D (E (M)) = M
2. E and D are easy to compute.
3. Revealing E doesn’t reveal an easy way to compute D
Trap-door one way permutation: also4. E (D (M)) = M
Before going on…is it legal to talk about 2?

First Amendment
Because computer source code is an expressive means for the exchange of information and ideas about computer programming, we hold that it is protected by the First Amendment.
Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, April 4, 2000
Ruling that Peter Junger could post RSA source code on his web site
CS588 Spring 2005 8
Property 2: Easy to Compute
• E(M) = Me mod n
• Easy – every 4th grader can to exponents, every kindergartner can do mod n.
• How big are M, e, and n?– M: 2n where n is the number of bits in M– M and n must be big (~10200) for security
CS588 Spring 2005 9
Fast Exponentiation
• am + n = am * an
• ab = ab/2 * ab/2 (if 2 divides b)
• So, can compute Me in about log2e multiplies
• 10150 < 2512, 512 multiplies is doable (by a computer, not a kindergartner)
• Faster bitwise algorithms known
CS588 Spring 2005 10
Anything else hard to compute?• We need to find large prime
numbers p and q• Obvious way: Pick big number x for i = 2 to x - 1
if i divides x its not prime,
start over with x + 1
done – x is prime
sqrt (x)
CS588 Spring 2005 11
How many prime numbers?
• Infinite number (proved by Euclid, 300BC)
CS588 Spring 2005 12
Infinite Primes ProofSuppose that there exist only finitely many
primes p1 < p2 < ... < pr.
Let N = (p1)(p2)...(pr) + 1
N > pr so it is composite, N = p * M
If p = pi for some 1…r, then,
N = pi * M = pi * (p1)(p2)...(pi-1) (pi+1)...(pr) + 1
pi (M - (p1)(p2)...(pi-1) (pi+1)...(pr)) = 1
Contradiction: pi > 1
Hence, there must be infinitely many primes.
CS588 Spring 2005 13
Density of Primes
From http://www.utm.edu/research/primes/howmany.shtml
(x) is the number of primes x
CS588 Spring 2005 14
Finding Primes• The Prime Number Theorem:
(x) ~ x/ln x
• So, to find a prime bigger than x, we need to
make about ln x/2 guesses
• Naïve prime test
– Each guess requires (√x) work
– Expect to need (ln x/2 * √x) work– For 200 digits = 230 * 10100
– More work than breaking 3DES!
CS588 Spring 2005 15
Need a faster prime test
• There are several fast probabilistic prime tests
• Can quickly test a prime with high probability, with a small amount of work
• If we pick a non-prime, its not a disaster (left as PS4 exercise to figure out what happens)
CS588 Spring 2005 16
Fermat Test• Recall Fermat’s Little Theorem:
– If n is prime and a is not divisible by n then
an-1 1 mod n
• Prove n is composite by finding an-1 1 mod n• Showing an-1 1 mod n does not prove n is prime
• But if it holds for many a’s it is likely than n is prime – Holds for all a’s for some non-primes known as
Carmichael Numbers: 561, 645, 1105, …
CS588 Spring 2005 17
Primality Test
• PRIMES Problem– Input: a number n– Ouput: TRUE if n is prime, otherwise FALSE
• Is PRIMES in P?

PRIMES
• PRIMES Problem– Input: a number n– Ouput: TRUE if n is prime, otherwise FALSE
• Until 2002: believed there was no polynomial algorithm for PRIMES– Lots of effort on this over 1000s of years
CS588 Spring 2005 20
Gauss on PRIMESThe problem of distinguishing prime numbers from composite numbers and of resolving the latter into their prime factors is known to be one of the most important and useful in arithmetic. It has engaged the industry and wisdom of ancient and modern geometers to such an extent that it would be superuous to discuss the problem at length... Further, the dignity of the science itself seems to require that every possible means be explored for the solution of a problem so elegant and so celebrated.
Karl Friedrich Gauss, Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, 1801

PRIMES is in P
• Manindra Agrawal, Neeraj Kayal and Nitin Saxena, PRIMES is in P. Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, 2002– Neeraj Kayal and Nitin Saxena were 4th year

RSA
E(M) = Me mod n
D(C) = Cd mod n
n = pq p, q are prime
d is relatively prime to (p – 1)(q – 1)
ed 1 (mod (p – 1)(q – 1))
CS588 Spring 2005 25
Strategy• Revealing E: e, n. Can attacker find D?
• If attacker factors n = p * qed 1 mod (p – 1)(q – 1)
Easy to find d e-1 mod (p – 1)(q – 1)
• Use experience to argue factoring is hard.– This should make us somewhat nervous
• Argue all other attacks are at least as hard as factoring n.

Ron Rivest (1977): factoring n (129 digits) would require at least 40 quadrillion years if you could do a * b mod c in one nanosecond.
Derek Atkins (April 1994): We are happy to announce that RSA-129 = 3490 5295 1084 7650 9491 4784 9619 9038 9813 3417 7646 3849 3387 8439 9082 0577 * 3 2769 1329 9326 6709 5499 6198 8190 8344 6141 3177 6429 6799 2942 5397 9828 8533
CS588 Spring 2005 28
Trial and Error Factoring• Guess x, if 1 < gcd (x, n) < n then x is an
interesting factor• If p and q are similar size, lowest factor is
around n.
– Requires O(n) divisions.– For RSA-129 = 1.1 * 1064 divisions, 1 per
nanosecond = 3.4 * 1047 years
CS588 Spring 2005 29
Pollard’s Rho Method
• Fastest known in 1977 [Pollard75]
• To find factor p, requires 4p modular multiplies
• Worst case: lowest p is n, we need 4n multiplies
• For RSA-129 = 1.3 * 1032 = 4 * 1015 years
• Rivest probably used this, but made a math error (4 quadrilllion 40 quadrilllion)
CS588 Spring 2005 30
How so Fast
• Better factoring algorithms• Distributed computation• Still can’t do a * b mod c in one
nanosecond (not faster processors)– 1ns = 10-9 s– Best Pentium 4 today: 4 GHz (cycle = .25ns)– But, multiplying 100 digit numbers takes
many cycles
CS588 Spring 2005 31
Factoring Pragmatics
• Conjectured to take esqrt(2 log n log log n) steps to factor n.
• Quadratic Sieve Factoring– Improved Kraitchik’s algorithm to choose
likely good values for x’s– Complexity: esqrt(log n log log n)
– How much bigger numbers can it factor?
Twice as many digits in same time!
CS588 Spring 2005 32
Breaking RSA-129
• Organized by Derek Atkins and others, 1994• Quadratic Sieve algorithm• Memory-limited (1994 – most workstations
16MB RAM), used 10M to hold .5M primes• Recruited volunteers from Internet• 1600 machines• Used 5000 MIPS years over 8 months
CS588 Spring 2005 33
To factor r [RSA-129] we assembled the largest collaboration yet seen in computational number theory and, possibly, performed the largest single computation ever completed. In several important respects, the resources we had available were barely adequate for the task. Consequently, ingenuity and diplomacy were required for the successful completion of the project.

Recent Factoring Algorithms
• Team from CWI (Amsterdam) factored RSA-155 (512 bits), August 1999
• ~8000 MIPS years (36 CPU years)
• 7 months on ~300 machines
• Lecture 1: factor 300 digit number for automatic A. How much harder is this?
CS588 Spring 2005 35
Faster Factoring Algorithm
• Function Field Seive [Adelman & Lasker, 1992]
• O(log10.5 n)
“Breakthrough of Gaussian Proportions”
• One serious limintation:– Only works in Hollywood: this is what the
movie “Sneakers” is about!
CS588 Spring 2005 36
RSA Security
• Factoring is hard (except in Sneakers)
• Is this enough to know RSA is secure?
• Can you compute D without factoring n?– Probably not, but can’t prove it.– But, can prove other obvious mathematical
attacks are equivalent to factoring.
CS588 Spring 2005 37
(n) without factoring
• Calculate (n) without factoring n.
ed 1 mod (n)• Equivalent to factoring:
(n) = (p – 1)(q – 1) = n – (p + q) + 1 p + q = n – (n) – 1 p – q = sqrt ((p + q)2 – 4n) [next slide]
2p = sqrt ((n – (n) –1)2 – 4n) + n – (n) –1If we know (n) we can calculate p and q easily.
CS588 Spring 2005 38
p – q = sqrt ((p + q)2 – 4n)
(p – q)2 = p2 – 2pq + q2
= p2 + q2 – 2n
(p + q)2 = p2 + q2 + 2n
(p – q)2 = (p + q)2 – 4n
p – q = sqrt ((p + q)2 – 4n)
CS588 Spring 2005 39
Determine d without (n) • Brute force: m digits long, amount of work
is 10m. – Try 1T/second (special purpose hardware)– Will take 3*1030 years for m = 50.– For factoring difficulty, m > 100. (Bigger than
AES key)
• Non-brute force: knowing d enables factoring.
CS588 Spring 2005 40
Determining d factoring
ed = 1 mod (n)k * (n) = ed – 1
Already showed, finding (n) is same as factoring.
Also true for multiple of (n).
CS588 Spring 2005 41
Properties of RSA’s E and D
• Trap-door one way function:D (E (M)) = ME and D are easy to compute.Revealing E doesn’t reveal an easy way to
compute D
• Trap-door one way permutation: also E (D (M)) = M
CS588 Spring 2005 42
Applications of RSA• Privacy:
– Bob encrypts message to Alice using EA
– Only Alice knows DA
• Signatures: – Alice encrypts a message to Alice using DA
– Bob decrypts using EA
– Knows it was from Alice, since only Alice knows DA
• Things you use every day: ssh, SSL, DNS, etc.• More than 400,000,000 copies of the RSA
algorithm are currently installed
