Authenticated Encryption (AE) Unforgeable Encryption [Katz-Yung’00] Authenticated Encryption - Generic composition
for probabilistic encryption [Bellare-Namprempre’00] Encrypt-then-MAC (IPsec) MAC-then-Encrypt (TLS) Encrypt-and-MAC
Note: nonce-based Authenticated Encryption seems more relevant [Rogaway’13]

AE: composition
Encryption block cipher in CBC, CFB modes
nonce reuse: suboptimal but mostly ok in practice synchronous stream cipher + block cipher in OFB/CTR
performance may be better highly insecure with nonce reuse
Message Authentication Code MAC without nonce: robust
HMAC, CMAC, EMAC, Pelican MAC, PMAC … MAC with nonce: highly insecure if none reuse
UMAC, GMAC, (VMAC, Poly1305-AES)

AE: building blocks
(Tweakable) block cipher Synchronous stream cipher with IV Pseudo-Random Function (PRF) Permutation
AES round function

AEGIS Design Goal Ultra fast nonce-based AE for network
communication reducing packet delay due to
authentication/encryption on a busy server for high speed TLS, IPsec, VPN, SSH try to make optimal use of AES-NI

Security claims Requirements for implementation
each key and nonce pair can be used only once if verification fails, the decrypted message and wrong
message authentication tag should not be given as output
Forgery attack: success prob. 2-t with t the tag size Key and state cannot be recovered faster than brute
force if forgery attack is not successful 128-bit tags strongly recommended
15
Security analysis of AE Authentication Encryption Does authentication affect encryption?
short tag easy forgery, and results in chosen ciphertext attack against encryption
Does encryption weaken authentication? ciphertext leaks state information, which may
benefit a forgery attack such as partial state value, state collision
16
Security Authentication
a difference in ciphertext passes through at least 5 AES rounds
stronger than Pelican MAC (4 AES rounds) Encryption
AEGIS encryption is a stream cipher with nonlinear state update function
differential and linear analysis is precluded
17
Security: does authentication affect encryption? AEGIS without MAC is vulnerable to a chosen
ciphertext attack To preclude chosen ciphertext attack
1) if tag verification fails, the decrypted plaintext should not be given as output2) the tag size should be sufficiently large to resist a chosen-ciphertext attack (128-bit tag recommended)
18
Security: does encryption weaken authentication? At each step, AEGIS leaks 128-bit keystream, i.e.,
128-bit state information The overall differential probability of the forgery
attack against AEGIS increases But the differential probability that a difference
propagates through 5 AES rounds is not affected reason: at each step, the information leaked on Si,j is of
the form:
