Cíle předmětu
The aim of this subject is to understand the deeper aspects of selected security and applied cryptographic topics. The topics cover cryptographic hardware security, including side-channel attacks, secure authentication, and authorization protocols, trusted boot, analysis of malware and rootkits (both black-box and gray-box), reverse engineering of binary applications, techniques used in Bitcoin cryptocurrency, micro-architectural attacks like Meltdown and Spectre and file/disk encryption. Students should be able to apply the gained knowledge in practice based on experience gained from the laboratory, homework assignments, and extensive project work.
Výstupy z učení
After course completion, the student will be able to:
- explain the security advantages of hardware security element to a typical desktop operating system;
- analyze the implementation of a cryptographic algorithm for a presence of the timing side-channel;
- describe and use good practices for password handling, including password alternatives and their advantages;
- explain principles of key establishment protocols and building blocks of modern secure messaging systems;
- explain principles and used technologies of trusted computing;
- describe the technology behind disk encryption and used encryption modes;
- perform basic analysis of infected computer image;
- implement security-related application utilizing cryptographic smartcard with JavaCard platform and transfer data via a secure channel;
- understand the root cause of micro-architectural attacks against modern CPUs
- explain security building blocks of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin
Osnova
  • Side-channel attacks (timing, power and fault analysis)
  • Basics of smart cards (PC/SC, APDU, basic applet – JavaCard & .net card & MULTOS), secure programs on JavaCard platform
  • Secure authentication and authorization (common protocols like FIDO U2F and Signal, secure implementation, attacks)
  • Hardware Security Modules (HSM), PKCS#11 API, cryptographic hardware in cloud deployment
  • Trusted boot (TPM, trusted boot process, remote attestation)
  • Micro-architectural attacks against modern CPU (Meltdown, Spectre attacks principle, fixes, exploitability)
  • Black-box analysis of malware (infection vectors, analysis of the environment, network analysis)
  • Grey-box analysis of malware (analysis of memory dumps, tools)
  • Reverse engineering of binary applications (decompiler, disassembler, native-code debugging, binary patching)
  • File and disk encryption (Common architectures, used cryptographic modes, typical attacks)
  • Bitcoin cryptocurrency (P2P Bitcoin network, transactions, mining, second-layer networks like Lighting Network, use of hardware wallets, attacks)
