Performance Analysis of Modified SHA-3
AbstractSecurity services have become an inseparable feature of almost all digital transactions. A crucial module of these scheme isintegrity, which is performed using a cryptographic hash function. Secure Hash Algorithm can be an efficient hashing technique.SHA-3 is the most recent and efficient Secure Hash Algorithm. Keccak has been chosen as the official algorithm for SHA-3 in2012. In this paper we propose a modification on the design of Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-3) on Xilinx Field ProgrammableGate Array (FPGA) device. In order to provide reliable architecture for this algorithm, a concurrent error tolerant scheme forSHA-3 is used. A system based on the combination of SHA-3 and error tolerant scheme is also described. Simulation resultsshows, an efficiency in area and delay of SHA-3 designs
Security and usability of standard has hfunctions, in particular MD-5, SHA-1 and SHA-2
Title: Security and usability of standard hash functions, in particular MD-5, SHA-1 and SHA-2 Author: Galaczová Barbora Department: Department of Algebra Supervisor: Doc. RNDr. Tůma Jiří, DrSc., Department of Algebra Consultant: Ing. Budiš Petr, Ph.D. Abstract: In the present work we try to digestedly describe standard hash functions, in particular MD-5, SHA-1 and SHA-2. We describe resume of existing attacks on these hash functions. We closely focused on MD-5 collision attacks, because the other hash function collision attacks result from these. Next we describe posibilities of practical usage of hash function collisions, in particular into the qualified certificates area and possible threats. At the end to the present work we describe new hash functions, which could replace current hash functions. This work also contains software to calculate MD-5 hash and search it`s collisions. The software is based on method invented by Czech cryptoanalytist Vlastimil Klíma. Keywords: hash function, collision, qualified certificate, security
Cryptanalysis of Dynamic SHA(2)
In this paper, we analyze the hash functions Dynamic SHA and Dynamic SHA2, which have been selected as first round candidates in the NIST hash function competition. These hash functions rely heavily on data-dependent rotations, similar to certain block ciphers, e.g., RC5. Our analysis suggests that in the case of hash functions, where the attacker has more control over the rotations, this approach is less favorable than in block ciphers. We present practical, or close to practical, collision attacks on both Dynamic SHA and Dynamic SHA2. Moreover, we present a preimage attack on Dynamic SHA that is faster than exhaustive search. © 2009 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.sponsorship: Supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation, project no. 113329.

Uma solução de autenticação fim a fim para o LDP (Label Distribution Protocol)
Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência da Computação.Este trabalho propõe uma solução de autenticação para o protocolo LDP (Label Distribution Protocol) que tem por objetivo autenticar, em um escopo fim a fim, o estabelecimento de um LSP (Label Switching Path) entre um LSR (Label Switching Router) de Ingresso e o seu respectivo LSR de Egresso. Objetiva-se suprir a deficiência do protocolo LDP de não possuir um mecanismo de autenticação fim a fim definido, aplicável entre LSRs não-adjacentes. Conforme foi verificado pelo levantamento de trabalhos correlatos, atualmente é desconhecida uma solução de autenticação semelhante, que efetivamente atenda o propósito de autenticar num escopo fim a fim, o estabelecimento de LSPs no protocolo LDP. Dessa forma a solução deste trabalho é inédita no seu escopo de aplicação. A solução foi planejada para ambientes onde LSPs atravessam múltiplos domínios externos, não confiáveis entre si, e que por isso necessitam de um mecanismo de autenticação durante o estabelecimento dos LSPs. A solução faz uso de um mecanismo de autenticação, baseado em criptografia assimétrica (chave pública e privada), anexado a cada mensagem LDP. Este mecanismo possibilita ao LSR receptor verificar e autenticar o originador da mensagem LDP. Adicionalmente a solução provê integridade de dados através de um mecanismo de resumo de mensagens (hash) e também protege contra ataques de repetição através da inserção de um nonce às mensagens LDP
Burkitt lymphoma classification and MYC-associated non-Burkitt lymphoma investigation based on gene expression
Burkitt lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma are two closely related types of lymphoma that are managed differently in clinical practice and the accurate diagnosis is a key point in treatment decisions. However based on current criteria combined with morphological, immunophenotypic and genetic characteristics, a significant number of cases exhibit overlapping features where diagnosis and treatment decisions are difficult to make. Especially, the prognosis have been reported significantly unfavourable in a subset of cases that are initially diagnosed as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma but bear MYC gene translocation, which is a defining feature of Burkitt lymphoma however can also be found in other lymphomas. Despite the adverse effect of MYC in aggressive lymphomas other than Burkitt lymphoma, the underlying mechanism and effective treatment is still unclear.
Recent technological advances have made it possible to simultaneously investigate an enormous number of bio-molecules, and the scientific fields associated with measuring molecular data in such a high-throughput way are usually called “omics”. For example, genomics assesses thousands of DNA sequences and transcriptomics assays large numbers of transcripts in a single experiment. These techniques together with the rapidly emerging analytical methods in bioinformatics have introduced cancer research into a new era. The growing amount of omics data have significantly influenced the understanding of lymphomas and hold great promise in classifying subtypes, predicting treatment responses that will eventually lead to personalized therapy.
Here in this study, we investigate the discrimination of Burkitt lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma based on DNA microarray gene expression data, which has contributed most in molecular classification of lymphoma subtypes in the last decade. On the basis of two previous research level gene expression profiling classifiers, we developed a robust classifier that works effectively on different platforms and formalin fixed paraffin-embedded samples commonly used in routine clinic. The validation of the classifier on the samples from clinical patients achieves a high agreement with diagnosis made in a central haematopathology laboratory, and leads to a potential outcome indication in the patients presenting intermediate features. In addition, we explore the role of MYC in the above lymphomas. Our investigation emphasizes the inferior impact of high level MYC mRNA expression on patients’ outcome, and the functional analysis of MYC high expression associated genes show significantly enriched molecular mechanisms of proliferation and metabolic process. Moreover, the gene PRMT5 is found to be highly correlated with MYC expression which opens a possible therapeutic target for the treatment
Maximizing the Potential of Custom RISC-V Vector Extensions for Speeding up SHA-3 Hash Functions
SHA-3 is considered to be one of the most secure standardized hash functions. It relies on the Keccak-f[1 600] permutation, which operates on an internal state of 1 600 bits, mostly represented as a 5 x 5 x 64-bit matrix. While existing implementations process the state sequentially in chunks of typically 32 or 64 bits, the Keccak-f[1 600] permutation can benefit a lot from speedup through parallelization. This paper is the first to explore the full potential of parallelization of Keccak-f[1 600] in RISC-V based processors through custom vector extensions on 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. We analyze the Keccak permutation, composed of five different step mappings, and propose ten custom vector instructions to speed up the computation. We realize these extensions in a SIMD processor described in System Verilog. We compare the performance of our designs to existing architectures based on vectorized application-specific instruction set processors (ASIP). We show that our designs outperform all related work in throughput due to our carefully selected custom vector instructions.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Cyber Securit
Comparative analysis of gene expression platforms for cell‐of‐origin classification of diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma shows high concordance
Cell‐of‐origin subclassification of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) into activated B cell‐like (ABC), germinal centre B cell‐like (GCB) and unclassified (UNC) or type III by gene expression profiling is recommended in the latest update of the World Health Organization’s classification of lymphoid neoplasms. There is, however, no accepted gold standard method or dataset for this classification. Here, we compare classification results using gene expression data for 68 formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded DLBCL samples measured on four different gene expression platforms (Illumina wG‐DASLTM arrays, Affymetrix PrimeView arrays, Illumina TrueSeq RNA sequencing and the HTG EdgeSeq DLBCL Cell of Origin Assay EU using an established platform agnostic classification algorithm (DAC) and the classifier native to the HTG platform, which is CE marked for in vitro diagnostic use (CE‐IVD). Classification methods and platforms show a high level of concordance, with agreement in at least 80% of cases and rising to much higher levels for classifications of high confidence. Our results demonstrate that cell‐of‐origin classification by gene expression profiling on different platforms is robust, and that the use of the confidence value alongside the classification result is important in clinical applications
Security Reductions of the Second Round SHA-3 Candidates
© 2011, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. In 2007, the US National Institute for Standards and Technology announced a call for the design of a new cryptographic hash algorithm in response to vulnerabilities identified in existing hash functions, such as MD5 and SHA-1. NIST received many submissions, 51 of which got accepted to the first round. At present, 14 candidates are left in the second round. An important criterion in the selection process is the SHA-3 hash function security and more concretely, the possible security reductions of the hash function to the security of its underlying building blocks. While some of the candidates are supported with firm security reductions, for most of the schemes these results are still incomplete. In this paper, we compare the state of the art provable security reductions of the second round SHA-3 candidates. Surprisingly, we derive some security bounds from the literature, which the hash function designers seem to be unaware of. Additionally, we generalize the well-known proof of collision resistance preservation, such that all SHA-3 candidates with a suffix-free padding are covered.sponsorship: This work has been funded in part by the IAP Program P6/26 BCRYPT of the Belgian State (Belgian Science Policy), and in part by the European Commission through the ICT program under contract ICT-2007- 216676 ECRYPT II.
