Security Research in TWISC—2006~2008
Ubiquitous Computing -- Ubicomp
“Each person is continually interacting with hundreds of …
interconnected computers”
-- “Some computer science issues in
Ubiquitous computing.”, CACM, 1993.

What is ubiquitous computing? Age of Ubicomp by
Adam ubiqcomp)
Greenfield
>> Ubiquitous computing (ubicomp, or sometimes
integrates
computation into the environment, rather than having computers which are
distinct objects -- Wikipedia
which ideally “weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life
until they are indistinguishable from it”
-- Mark Weiser, “The computer of the 21st
century.”, Scientific American, 1991.

Everyday Computing:
Things to be Considered
• Dynamic, ad hoc and shared environment
– Multiple activities operate concurrently
– No clear beginning & end to all activities
– Interruption is expected
• Usability
– Interface between human and Ubicomp (Ubiquitous computing)
environment?
– Human becomes the core of ubicomp environment.
• Security
– What are the changes in this new type of digital environment?
– Effectiveness vs. Simplicity
• How to secure new environment easily?

• Security request in
next generation?
Security & Privacy Issues
• Old Model:
– Places permanent firewall to secure traffic
between intranet and internet
– Requires a piece of running code to actively
validate usage/access
– Requires heavy computation resource to
provide encryption/ decryption functionality
– Presents weak protection in wireless
environment
• Not easy for people to secure their wireless data
• Inadequate for Ubiquitous computing

Active attack: scanning
Scenario 2. Cracking the key in a DST tag.
Parallel cracker 16-FPGAs. Sniffed data is entered using the
keyboard, and results are read off the LEDs on each board.

Scenario 3. Starting a carEquipment

simulator.

Passive attack: eavesdropping
A microreader, laptop, & a serial cable.
Security and Privacy Issues
•
Characteristics relevant to UbiComp security :
–
–
Variability & capabilities of devices introduce
complexities to security framework
Heterogeneity of security & privacy
1) Ad-hoc device communication with different protocols
- The technology of content encoding becomes critical
–
•
Without good protection, the severity of security
breach and data leakage would worsen!!
–
9/60
Location-awareness in policy management
Users would be forced to turn off ubicomp features
because of lack of protection, thus the benefit of
ubicomp environment diminishes

Foundation of Cryptography
• Collaborators:
– Dr. Chi-Jen Lu, et al., IIS, Academia Sinica
• Motivation: To invent randomness research tools with
applications to cryptography
• Publications in
– Journal of Cryptology
– Theoretical Computer Science
– IEEE Transactions on Information Theory
• Major results:
– Efficient construction of randomness extractors
• Extract almost perfect randomness from slightly random
sources
– Application of randomness extractors in cryptography
20/60
• Achieve encryption with everlasting security against
adversaries of bounded storage
Multivariate Public-Key Cryptosystems
• Collaborators:
– Dr. Bo-Ying Yang, Dr. Jiun-Ming Chen, TKU, Dr. L-C. Wang, NDHU;
Messrs Y-H Chen, S-H Kao, Y-H Hu, NTU
• Motivation: Find a more robust and efficient alternative to
PKCs
– RSA depends on infeasibility of factoring a large integer
– ECC depends on difficulty of taking Discrete Log
– But both of RSA and ECC can be solved efficiently by Shor’s
Quantum Computing Algorithm
• Multivariate PKCs
– An alternative PKC whose public key is represented by multivariate
polynomials over a finite field
• Provides much more solid system that can’t be broken in poly-time by
Quantum Computer
• Also very efficient to handle key generation/authentication
• Publications
21/60
– A "Medium-Field" Multivariate Public-Key Encryption Scheme,
Cryptographer Track, RSA2006 (Feb. 13-17, 2006)
– Another in 3rd conference in Security in Pervasive Computing (York,
Apr. 18-21, 2006).
Low Resource PKCs
• Collaborators:
– Dr. Bo-Ying Yang, Dr. Jiun-Ming Chen, Y-H Chen, Sam
Tsai (NTU), Doug Cheng (Harvard)
• Motivation: Implement PKCs efficiently to facilitate
pervasive / ubiquitous computing
– Traditional PKCs on embedded systems
•
•
Very slow and require dedicated hardware
e.g. A lab in Austria is trying to implement ECC on a
low-cost RFID
– They are unable to satisfy the low power
requirements
– RSA would be hopeless
• TTS and similar schemes are being ported to sensors and
small ASICs (for RFID use).
– High Speed Signatures on Low-Cost Smart Cards
22/60
Digital Signature and Its Applications
