A system to exchange and authenticate public cryptographic keys between parties that share a common but secret password, using a pair of random numbers, a pair of Diffie-Hellman public keys computed from the random numbers and the password, a Diffie-Hellman symmetric secret key computed from the Diffie-Hellman public keys and the random numbers, and hashed values of arguments that depend upon these elements.
摘要:
A method to exchange and authenticate public cryptographic keys between parties that share a common but secret password. The parties exchange public keys, where the public keys are accompanied by hashed values based on the keys, the password, and random numbers. Each party then encrypts its random number using the public key of the other party, and the encryptions are exchanged. Based on the received encryptions and the known password, each party then re-computes the hashed value received from the other party, and compares the re-computed hashed value with the received hashed value. If the two are the same, the public key that accompanied the hashed value is judged authentic.

Methods, systems and computer program products are provided which generate a cryptographic key utilizing user specific information to generate a user dependent key. The user specific information may be a user identification or biometric information associated with a user. In particular embodiments of the present invention a seed value is modified with biometric information to generate a user dependent key value. In alternative embodiments a key value is hashed with user specific information or user specific information is hashed and then combined with the key value to generate the user dependent key value. In still another embodiment of the present invention the space of potential key values is divided into subspaces and the subspaces assigned based on user specific information. A key value is then generated from the assigned subspace. Thus, the generated key values for different users are guaranteed to be disjoint.

Secure messages are sent among a group of nodes selected from a plurality of nodes that are connected to a communications network, by defining a random secret key at a first one of the group of nodes. The random secret key is sent from the first one of the group nodes to remaining ones of the group of nodes. A random number is generated at a second one of the group of nodes. A one-way hash of the random number and the random secret key is performed at the second one of the group of nodes to generate a working key. A message is encrypted at the second one of the group of nodes, using the working key. The encrypted message and the random number is sent from the second one of the group of nodes to remaining ones of the group of nodes. The encrypted message and the random number are received at the remaining ones of the group of nodes. Each of the remaining ones of the group of nodes performs a one-way hash of the random number and the random secret key, to regenerate the working key. The message is then decrypted using the regenerated working key. The secret key may be defined at any one of the group of nodes rather than a predefined, centralized key distribution center. Moreover, the random number may be generated at any one of the group of nodes that desires to communicate an encrypted message to remaining ones of the group of nodes. Decentralized group key management is thereby provided.

The present invention provides a technique, system, and computer program for a symmetric key block cipher. Variable block sizes and key sizes are supported, as well as a variable number of rounds. The cipher uses multiple stages of processing, where the stages have different structures and different subround functions, to provide excellent resistance to both linear and differential attacks. Feistel Type-3 networks are used, with different networks during different stages. The number of rounds may vary among stages. Subkeys are used in some, but not all, stages. The variable-length keys can be precomputed. A novel manner of using multiplication in a cipher is defined.

A method and apparatus for verifiably providing key recovery information to one or more trustees in a cryptographic communication system having a sender and a receiver Each communicating party has its own Diffie-Hellman key pair comprising a secret value and corresponding public value, as does each trustee The sender non-interactively generates from its own secret value and the public value held by the receiver a first shared Diffie-Hellman key pair comprising a first shared secret value, shared with the receiver but not with any trustee, and a corresponding public value. For each trustee, the sender then non-interactively generates an additional shared secret value, shared with the receiver and the trustee, from the first shared secret value and the public value corresponding to the secret value held by the trustee. The sender uses the additional shared secret value to encrypt recovery information for each trustee, which is transmitted to the receiver along with the encrypted message. Each trustee can decrypt its recovery information by regenerating its additional shared secret value from its own secret value and the public value of the first shared Diffie-Hellman key pair. The receiver can verify the correctness of the recovery information for each trustee by decrypting the information using the additional shared secret value for that trustee, without having to recreate the recovery information or perform computationally expensive public key operations.

A method including querying a service provider for functional and nonfunctional qualifications of the service provider to provide a service having functional and nonfunctional requirements; responsive to input from the service provider, receiving by a requestor the functional qualifications and nonfunctional qualifications of the service provider including attesting by a third party, not the service provider or requestor, to at least the nonfunctional qualifications of the service provider; evaluating the functional qualifications and attested to nonfunctional qualifications of the service provider; and selecting a service provider having functional and attested to nonfunctional qualifications complying with the functional and nonfunctional requirements of the requestor. The method may be performed on one or more computing devices. Also disclosed is a computer program product.
