  22. http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/14082/pg14082.txt Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak

    and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping—rapping at my chamber door. "'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door— Only this and nothing more." 12

  29. Two keys instead of one: public key - available for

    everybody. Can be published on your blog. private key - For your eyes only! 19
  30. It is NOT possible to decrypt the message with same

    key that is used to encrypt. 21
  31. Encrypt with public key: - only private key (thus Alice)

    can decrypt. - message is only for Alice = encryption 22
  32. Encrypt with public key: - only private key (thus Alice)

    can decrypt. - message is only for Alice = encryption 22 Encrypt with private key: - only public key can decrypt. - message is guaranteed coming for Alice = signing
  33. Symmetrical ✓ quick. ✓ not resource intensive. ✓ useful for

    small and large messages. ✗ need to send over the key to the other side. Asymmetrical ✓ no need to send over the (whole) key. ✓ can be used for encryption and validation (signing). ✗ very resource intensive. ✗ only useful for small messages. 23
  34. A: Use symmetrical encryption for the (large) message and encrypt

    the key used with an asymmetrical encryption method. 24 Q: How does Alice send over the key securely to Bob? Everybody’s listening!
  35. Hybrid ✓ quick ✓ not resource intensive ✓ useful for

    small and large messages ✓ safely exchange key data 25

    = 33 | Phi = 20 | e = 3 | d = ? Step 4: find d ‣ Extended Euclidean Algorithm gives 7 ‣ brute force: (e.d mod φ = 1) 36
  69. ‣ P = 11 | Q = 3 | N

    = 33 | Phi = 20 | e = 3 | d = ? Step 4: find d ‣ Extended Euclidean Algorithm gives 7 ‣ brute force: (e.d mod φ = 1) 3 . 1 = 3 mod 20 = 3 3 . 2 = 6 mod 20 = 6 3 . 3 = 9 mod 20 = 9 3 . 4 = 12 mod 20 = 12 3 . 5 = 15 mod 20 = 15 3 . 6 = 18 mod 20 = 18 3 . 7 = 21 mod 20 = 1 3 . 8 = 24 mod 20 = 4 3 . 9 = 27 mod 20 = 7 3.10 = 30 mod 20 = 10 36
  70. ‣ P = 11 | Q = 3 | N

    = 33 | Phi = 20 | e = 3 | d = 7 37
  71. That’s it: ➡ public key = (n, e) = (33,

    3) ➡ private key = (n, d) = (33, 7) ‣ P = 11 | Q = 3 | N = 33 | Phi = 20 | e = 3 | d = 7 37
  72. The actual math is much more complex since we use

    very large numbers, but it all comes down to these (relatively simple) calculations.. 38
