《Modern Cryptogrophy:Theory and practice》学习笔记之第一章

Chapter One: Begining with a Simple Communication Game

Three important aspects to serve as general guidelines for security system designers and implementors:

1.Be explicit about all assumptions needed

        (i) Identify all assumptions made in the protocol.

        (ii) For each assumption in step (i), determine the effect on the security of the protocol if that assumption were violated.

2.Be explicit about exact security services to be offered

        Further refinement of the general services is necessary. Here are some examples:

        Confidentiality  => privacy, anonymity, invisibility, indistinguishability

        Authentication  => date-origin, data-integrity, peer-entity

        Non-reputation => message-inssurance, message-receipt

       Proof of knowledge => knowledge possession, knowledge structure

3.Be explicit about special cases in mathematics

       There some exeptions in the hard mathematics problems, like “supersingular curves超奇异曲线” and “anomalous curves非正规曲线” in ECC。还有，在大整数分解难题中，如果两个素数P和Q是相邻的，则这个问题便变得很容易。
