21 Distributed Keys From password to distributed secret 21

22 Goal: Store Data Securely r Storing encrypted data on storage provider r After encrypting, one has to protect a key r How does one store the key privately and reliably? 22

23 Distributed Keys r Distributed Keys enable end users to recover a private key from any location on the network r It bridges the gap between password authentication and PKI authentication r Seems like password authentication to end users r Seems like PKI authentication to service providers r Unlike more naïve approaches, nothing enabling an offline attack exists at any location r Breach of authentication server yields nothing! 23

24 Distributed Keys Architecture User device username: jsmith01 password: ******** 24

25 Distributed Keys Architecture Dispersed Credentials Protocol User device 25

26 Distributed Keys Architecture User device Recovered Key 26

27 Distributed Keys Architecture PKI Authentication User device Recovered Key 27

28 Distributed Keys Architecture User device Recovered Key 28

29 Comparison of Mechanisms Password PKI DK 1. No single point of failure 2. No single point of compromise 3. Enables access from any location 4. Easy to use 5. Immune to offline brute-force attacks * 6. Credentials are not disclosed during use 7. Immune to physical theft * Requires a threshold number of simultaneous compromises 29

30 How it Works r We found that through a combination of various cryptographic protocols, an authentication system with almost ideal properties could be formed r Server-assisted strong secret generation r Warwick Ford and Burton S. Kaliski Jr. (2000) r Secret Sharing r Adi Shamir and George Blakley (1979) r Encryption and Digital Signatures 30

34 Key Recovery Service Cooperative encryption key recovery 34

35 Key Recovery Service r Distributed keys provide online storage r What happens if users forget their passwords? r Data encrypted (by user) with encryption keys r Only authentication keys identify users r Key Recovery Service r Peer-based key recovery+password reset r System mediates recovery requests to users r No data is revealed to server during recovery 35

36 Need for a Key Recovery Service Shamir s Secret Sharing Scheme r In 1979 Adi Shamir (the S in RSA) proposed a method for sharing secrets in a way that satisfies the competing goals of security and reliability. Much like an IDA, one chooses a number of shares and a threshold needed for recovery. If each share is given to an individual, a threshold number of them must come together to compute the secret. r This method is both secure and reliable: Secure: Multiple shares would need to be compromised by an attacker to recover the secret. It takes a conspiracy of individuals holding shares to get the secret. Reliable: Even if some individuals lose their shares or are unavailable, as long as a threshold exists the secret is still recoverable. 36

37 Design of Key Recovery Service Using the Key Recovery System Account Creation Recovery Request Private Key Recovery 37

38 Account Creation 38

39 Recovery Request 39

40 Verifying Recovery Request r Recovery requests verified by each user r Verification manual; can use request fingerprint r Threshold of requests must be authorized r Encrypted shares stored in central location 40

41 Private Key Recovery 41

42 Token Based Payment Plan Pay as you go, with anonymous currency 42

43 Anonymous system building blocks Customer Payment Processor Authentication Provider Storage Provider Records Auth Pseudonymous Records Storage Random Identity 4 43

44 Token Based Payment Plan r Billing model largely the same r Form of currency is different r Failure to pay data eventually just deleted 44

45 Credit John Smith... $ Alice Granger... $ Debit Acme Storage, Inc.... $ Fast Fast Storage, LLC... $ Customers Vendors Pooled Assets r r Storage processor keeps full records of one side of transaction Anonymity through many-to-many customer to vendor relationship 45

46 Conclusions 46

47 Conclusion r A storage service that provides anonymity r Should be as reliable and convenient as existing systems r Must rely on technology, not spotty record keeping, to preserve anonymity r The technology to create this platform exists today r Anonymous currencies r Anonymous authentication r Anonymous data storage 47
