-===== Lab 08 - MACs =====
+===== Lab 08 - MACs, Hashes, OpenSSL =====
-In this lab we'll do some exercises with Message Authentication Codes.
+==== Exercise 1 - Timing attack ====
-==== Exercise 1 - Existential Unforgeability ====
-In this exercise we will attack an insecure MAC algorithm by showing that an adversary can forge a (message, tag) pair without first querying a $\mathsf{Tag}$ oracle with the message.
-Let $F$ be a $\mathsf{PRF}$. Show that the following MAC is insecure by constructing an efficient adversary with non-negligible advantage. The key is $k \in \{0, 1\}^n$, and for any message $m = m1 \| m2$ with $\left|m_1\right| = \left|m_2\right| = n$, the MAC is computed as:
-$\mathsf{Tag}(k, m_1 \| m_2) = F_k(m_1) \| F_k(F_k(m_2)) $
-==== Exercise 2 - Timing attack ====
 In this exercise you will perform a timing attack against CBC-MAC.

-==== Exercise 3 - Birthday attack ====
+==== Exercise 2 ====
-In this exercise you will perform a Birthday attack on SHA256.
+In this first exercise we'll see how to compute hashes using the OpenSSL command line interface.
-Your goal is to find two messages, $M_1$ and $M_2$, such that for the first **four** bytes $\mathsf{SHA256}(M_1) = \mathsf{SHA256}(M_2)$.
+You can interact with the OpenSSL utilities in two ways:
+  * directly from bash, by using the ''openssl'' command followed by the desired command and parameters
+  * from the OpenSSL console, by using the ''openssl'' command without additional arguments. You can close the console by calling ''quit'' or ''exit''.
-The collision will be $32$ bits long, which means you will need $2^{16}$ random messages in your attack. Note that the attack is not guaranteed to succeed; on average, two iterations of the attack are required to find a collision.
+If the manual pages are correctly installed, you can consult the documentation via ''man <command_name>'' (e.g. ''man md5'').
-<file python birthday.py>
-import sys
+Hashes are often used to check the integrity of downloaded files. We will now use OpenSSL to compute the MD5 and SHA-1 hashes of this page.
-import string
-import base64
-from Crypto.Hash import SHA256
+Download this page by running:
-def raw2hex(raw):
+<code>
-    return raw.encode('hex')
+linux$ wget http://ocw.cs.pub.ro/courses/sasc/laboratoare/09 -O sasc.html
+</code>
-def hex2raw(hexstring):
+Use OpenSSL to compute the MD5 and SHA-1 hashes of the newly downloaded file; print the output in hexadecimal.
-    return base64.b16decode(hexstring)
-hexdigits = '0123456789ABCDEF'
+To check your results, you can use ''md5sum'' or ''sha1sum'' as an alternative way of computing the same hashes.
-def hash(message):
+==== Exercise 3 ====
-    h = SHA256.new()
-    h.update(message)
-    return h.digest()
+In this second exercise we'll use the command line to compute an HMAC, with SHA-1 as the hashing algorithm.
-def main():
+Recall from the lecture that for HMAC to be secure, we need to sample a random key $k \gets \mathcal{K}$.
-    # Try to find a collision on the first 4 bytes (32 bits)
-    # Step 1. Generate 2^16 different random messages
-    # Step 2. Compute hashes
-    # Step 3. Check if there exist two hashes that match in the first
-    # four bytes.
-    # Step 3a. If a match is found, print the messages and hashes
-    # Step 3b. If no match is found, repeat the attack with a new set
-    # of random messages
-    pass
+We can generate random bytes using ''openssl rand''. To compute HMACs, check the documentation for ''openssl dgst''.
-if __name__ == "__main__":
+For this exercise, use OpenSSL commands to:
-    main()
+  - generate a 16 byte random key
+  - use the key to compute the SHA-1 HMAC of the page downloaded in the previous exercise
-</file>
+==== Exercise 4 ====
+In this exercise you will implement the Birthday attack on SHA-1 from the previous lab using OpenSSL. The goal is to obtain a collision in the first four bytes of the hash.
+In contrast to previous labs, this time we'll use C. You can implement the attack from scratch, or start from our {{:sasc:laboratoare:birthday.tar.gz|archive here}}.
+To compute a digest, you might find the code below useful:
+<code C>
+    SHA_CTX context;
+    SHA1_Init(&context);
+    SHA1_Update(&context, buffer, length);
+    SHA1_Final(md, &context); /* md must point to at least 20 bytes of valid memory */
+</code>
+<note important>
+To compile using OpenSSL you will need to install the development version of the library which includes the header files.
+Download the library from https://www.openssl.org/source/old/1.0.1/openssl-1.0.1f.tar.gz, and unpack it.
+Open the unpacked folder from bash, and run the following commands:
+<code bash>
+linux$ ./config --prefix=/home/student/local --openssldir=/home/student/local/openssl
+linux$ make
+linux$ make install_sw
+</code>
+To fix the makefile using the new paths, change the variables at the start with the ones below:
+<code makefile>
+LDFLAGS=-L/home/student/local/lib -lcrypto
+CFLAGS=-Wall -g -I/home/student/local/include
+</code>
