Cliptography - Clipping the Power of Kleptographic Attacks

Cliptography - Clipping the Power of Kleptographic Attacks

Explore the concept of Cliptography and its role in mitigating kleptographic attacks in this Asiacrypt 2016 conference talk. Delve into the security divide in modern cryptography and the implicit assumption of trustworthy implementations. Examine the threat of kleptography, including subverted RSA key generation and subliminal channel attacks. Learn about the current state of defenses against these threats and the long-term goals of the cliptographic model. Investigate the limitations of conventional wisdom regarding random padding and discover a revised Full Domain Hash (FDH) approach in the cliptographic setting. Conclude with a summary of open problems and recent progress in developing signatures with offline watchdog capabilities.
