    1.

    Misconceptions Concerning Public-Key Encryption:

    • Addresses common misconceptions about public-key encryption, including its


    superiority to symmetric encryption, its impact on symmetric encryption's
    obsolescence, and its perceived ease of key distribution.

    2. Principles of Public-Key Cryptosystems:

    • Discusses the principles and challenges of secure communication without relying on a


    Key Distribution Center (KDC), emphasizing the key distribution problem and message
    authenticity verification.

    3. Public-Key Cryptosystems:

    • Explains the essential components of a public-key encryption scheme, which include


    plaintext, encryption/decryption algorithms, public and private keys, ciphertext, and
    the decryption algorithm.

    4. Applications for Public-Key Cryptosystems:

    • Categorizes public-key cryptosystems into three applications: encryption/decryption


    with the recipient's public key, digital signatures, and key exchange sessions.

    5. Public-Key Requirements:

    • Lists the key conditions for a satisfactory public-key algorithm, highlighting the
    importance of having a trap-door one-way function to ensure security.

    6. Public-Key Cryptanalysis:

    • Examines potential attacks on public-key encryption, including brute force,


    mathematical attacks, timing attacks, hardware fault-based attacks, and chosen
    ciphertext attacks.

    7. Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) Scheme:

    • Introduces the widely used RSA algorithm, its structure, and its reliance on
    mathematical properties to secure data.

    8. Efficient Operation Using the Public Key:

    • Explains the use of specific values for e in the RSA algorithm to enhance the efficiency
    of encryption.

    9. Efficient Operation Using the Private Key:

    • Discusses decryption efficiency by employing the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT)


    and using d mod (p - 1) and d mod (q - 1) precalculations.

    10. Key Generation:

    • Describes the process of generating public and private key pairs, including prime
    number selection and suitable trap-door one-way functions.
    11. The Security of RSA:

    • Explores the potential vulnerabilities and attack methods related to RSA, such as brute
    force attacks, mathematical attacks, timing attacks, hardware fault-based attacks, and
    chosen ciphertext attacks.

    12. Example of RSA Algorithm:

    • Demonstrates how RSA encryption and decryption work with an illustrative example.

    13. Exponentiation in Modular Arithmetic:

    • Discusses the use of modular arithmetic for RSA exponentiation, making specific
    mention of its efficiency.

    14. Constant Exponentiation Time:

    • Describes countermeasures against timing attacks, such as ensuring that all


    exponentiations take the same amount of time.

    15. Random Delay and Blinding:

    • Introduces other countermeasures, including adding random delays to exponentiation


    and blinding to protect against timing attacks.

    16. Fault-Based Attack:

    • Explains an attack that induces faults in the signature computation, which can lead to
    the recovery of the private key.

    17. Chosen Ciphertext Attack (CCA):

    • Describes the CCA method where an adversary selects ciphertexts and corresponding
    plaintexts to retrieve sensitive information.

    18. Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding (OAEP):

    • Discusses a countermeasure to CCA attacks, recommending OAEP for modifying


    plaintexts.
