Abstract:
Encryption that is only semantically secure
should not be used on messages that depend
on the underlying secret key; all bets are off when, for example,
one encrypts using a shared key K the value K.
Here we introduce a new notion of security, KDM security,
appropriate for key-dependent messages.
The notion makes sense in both the public-key and shared-key
settings.
For the latter we show that KDM security is
easily achievable within the random-oracle model.
By developing and achieving stronger notions of encryption-scheme security
it is hoped that protocols which are proven secure under ``formal'' models of
security can, in time, be safely realized by generically instantiating
their primitives.
