Damar görüntülerinin şifrelenmesi için kullanılan kaos tabanlı bir rastgele sayı üretecinin kriptanalizi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, damar görüntülerinin mikrobilgisayar ile şifrelenmesinde kullanılan kaos tabanlı rastgele sayı üretecinin(RSÜ) kriptanalizi sunulmuştur. Doğrusal olmayan bir sistem tabanlı bu rastgele sayı üreteci, kızılötesi kamera ile elde edilen el üstü damar görüntülerinin şifrelenme ve depolanmasını sağlayan bir kriptografik sistemde kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, kaos tabanlı rassal sayı üretecinin zayıflıkları kullanılarak kriptografik sisteme atak metodu önerilmiştir. Kaotik sisteme ait bir durum değişkeninin izlenmesi ve rassal sayı üretecinin yapısının bilinmesi ile, hedef rassal sayı üretecinin çıkışı ana köle senkronizasyon yöntemi kullanılarak klon bir rassal sayı üreteci tarafından üretilebilmiştir. Atak metodunun uygulanabilirliği nümerik benzetim sonuçları ile gösterilmiştir. Bu atak yöntemi ile damar görüntülerinin şifrelenmesinde kullanılmış olan anahtar değerleri elde edilmiştir ve şifrelenmiş görüntülerin çözülmesinin mümkün olduğu gösterilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, uygulama olarak özel bir kaotik tabanlı rassal sayı üreteci ve ilgili kriptografik sistem hedef alınmıştır. Ancak, bu çalışmada önerilen kriptanaliz yöntemi, genel olarak hem sürekli zamanlı hem de ayrık zamanlı kaotik rassal sayı üreteçlerinin güvenlik analizinde kullanılabilir. Bu nedenle, bu çalışma kaotik tabanlı rassal sayı üreteçlerinin güvenlik açıklarına ışık tutmaktadır ve deterministik kaosun salt entropi kaynağı olarak değerlendirilmemesi gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır.

Cryptanalysis of a chaos based random number generator used for encryption of vein images

Abstract

In this study, the cryptanalysis of a chaos based random number generator(RNG) which is used for encryption of vein images is presented. This RNG based on a nonlinear system is deployed in a cryptographic system which is used for encryption and secure storage of dorsal hand images taken by an infrared camera. In this study, an attack method which exploits the security weaknesses of the chaos based RNG is propose. Assuming that one of the chaotic state variables of the RNG is observable and the structure of the target RNG is known, identical output bit stream of the target RNG is generated by a clone RNG used in master–slave synchronization scheme. The performance of the attack method is demonstrated using numerical simulation results. Using the attack method described in this study, it is demonstrated that it is possible to obtain the key values used for encryption of the vain images and use these key values to decrypt the images. In this study, a specific continuous-time chaos-based RNG is subjected to a cryptanalysis study to reveal the security weaknesses. However, the cryptanalysis method explained in this study can be used in the cryptanalysis of any continuous-time or discrete-time chaos-based RNGs. Therefore, this study brings light to the security weaknesses associated with chaos based RNGs and underlines the fact that chaos should not be treated as the sole entropy source in a RNG application as chaos is a deterministic phenomenon.
