+#### File integrity with secure read-only space
+
+- When user downloads package, can verify that contents are valid
+- $H$ collision resistant $\Rightarrow$ attacker cannot modify package without detection
+- No encryption needed (public verifiability) if publisher has secure read-only space (e.g. trusted website, social media account)
+
+#### Symmetric-crypto message authentication
+
+- Context: Assume no secure RO space (insecure channel only)
+  - Need means of message authentication
+- Idea: add tag to message
+- System: Message Authentication Code (MAC)
+- Def: a MAC $I=(S,V)$ defined over $(K,M,T)$ is a pair of algorithms:
+  - $S(k,m)$ outputs $t \in T$  // "Sign"
+  - $V(k,m,t)$ outputs `yes' or `no'  // "Verify"
+
+- Symmetric-crypto message authentication:
+  - Alice and Bob share secret key $k$
+  - Generate tag: $\text{tag} \leftarrow S(k,m)$
+  - Verify tag: $V(k,m,\text{tag}) = \texttt{yes}?$
+
+#### MAC security model
+
+- For a MAC $I=(S,V)$ and adversary $A$, define a MAC game as:
+- Def: $I=(S,V)$ is a secure MAC if for all "efficient" $A$,
+  - $\operatorname{Adv}^{\operatorname{MAC}}[A,I] = \Pr[\text{Chal. outputs }1]$
+  - is negligible
+
+- MAC game (sketch):
+  - Challenger samples $k \leftarrow K$
+  - Adversary makes queries $m_1,\ldots,m_q \in M$
+    - For each $i$, challenger returns $t_i \leftarrow S(k,m_i)$
+  - Adversary outputs a candidate forgery $(m,t)$
+  - Challenger outputs $b=1$ if:
+    - $V(k,m,t)=\texttt{yes}$ and
+    - $(m,t) \notin \{(m_1,t_1),\ldots,(m_q,t_q)\}$
+  - Otherwise challenger outputs $b=0$
+
+- MAC security example: secure PRF not sufficient
+  - Suppose $F: K \times X \to Y$ is a secure PRF with $Y=\{0,1\}^{10}$.
+  - Is the derived MAC $I_F$ a secure MAC system?
+    - No: tags are too short, anyone can guess the tag for any message
+
+#### MACs from PRFs: sufficient security condition
+
+- Thm: If $F: K \times X \to Y$ is a secure PRF and $1/|Y|$ is negligible (i.e. $|Y|$ is large), then $I_F$ is a secure MAC.
+- In particular, for every efficient MAC adversary $A$ attacking $I_F$, there exists an efficient PRF adversary $B$ attacking $F$ such that:
+  - $\operatorname{Adv}^{\operatorname{MAC}}[A, I_F] \le \operatorname{Adv}^{\operatorname{PRF}}[B, F] + 1/|Y|$
+- Therefore $I_F$ is secure as long as $|Y|$ is large, e.g. $|Y| = 2^{80}$.
+
+#### MACs from collision resistance
+
+- Let $I=(S,V)$ be a MAC for short messages over $(K,M,T)$ (e.g. AES).
+- Let $H: M_{\text{big}} \to M$.
+- Def: $I_{\text{big}}=(S_{\text{big}},V_{\text{big}})$ over $(K,M_{\text{big}},T)$ as:
+  - $S_{\text{big}}(k,m) = S(k, H(m))$
+  - $V_{\text{big}}(k,m,t) = V(k, H(m), t)$
+- Thm: If $I$ is a secure MAC and $H$ is collision resistant, then $I_{\text{big}}$ is a secure MAC.
+- Example: $S(k,m) = \operatorname{AES2\text{-}block\text{-}cbc}(k, \operatorname{SHA\text{-}256}(m))$ is a secure MAC.
+
+#### Using HMACs for confidentiality + integrity
+
+- Confidentiality:
+  - Semantic security under a CPA
+  - Encryption secure against eavesdropping only
+- Integrity:
+  - Existential unforgeability under a CPA
+  - CBC-MAC, HMAC
+  - Hash functions
+- Confidentiality + integrity:
+  - CCA security
+  - Secure against tampering
+  - Method: Authenticated Encryption (AE)
+  - Encryption + MAC, in correct form
+
+#### Authenticated Encryption: security defs
+
+- An authenticated encryption system $(E,D)$ is a cipher where:
+  - $E: K \times M \times N \to C$
+  - $D: K \times C \times N \to M \cup$ cipher text rejected
+- Security: the system must provide
+  - semantic security under a CPA attack, and
+  - ciphertext integrity: attacker cannot create new ciphertexts that decrypt properly
+
+#### Ciphertext integrity
+
+- Let $(E,D)$ be a cipher with message space $M$.
+- Def: $(E,D)$ has ciphertext integrity if for all "efficient" $A$,
+  - $\operatorname{Adv}^{\operatorname{CI}}[A,E] = \Pr[\text{Chal. outputs }1]$
+  - is negligible
+
+- Security model: ciphertext integrity (sketch):
+  - Challenger samples $k \leftarrow K$
+  - Adversary makes encryption queries $m_1,\ldots,m_q \in M$
+    - For each $i$, challenger returns $c_i \leftarrow E(k,m_i)$
+  - Adversary outputs a ciphertext $c$
+  - Challenger outputs $b=1$ if:
+    - $D(k,c) \ne \bot$ and
+    - $c \notin \{c_1,\ldots,c_q\}$
+  - Otherwise challenger outputs $b=0$
+
+#### Authenticated encryption implies CCA security
+
+- Thm: Let $(E,D)$ be a cipher that provides AE. Then $(E,D)$ is CCA secure.
+- In particular, for any $q$-query efficient adversary $A$, there exist efficient $B_1,B_2$ such that:
+  - $\operatorname{Adv}^{\operatorname{CCA}}[A,E] \le 2q \cdot \operatorname{Adv}^{\operatorname{CI}}[B_1,E] + \operatorname{Adv}^{\operatorname{CPA}}[B_2,E]$
+- Interpretation: CCA advantage is $\le O(\text{CT-integrity advantage}) + \text{CPA advantage}$.
+
+- AE implication: authenticity
+  - Attacker cannot fool Bob into thinking a message was sent from Alice
+  - If attacker cannot create a valid ciphertext $c \notin \{c_1,\ldots,c_q\}$, then whenever $D(k,c) \ne \bot$ Bob knows the message is from someone who knows $k$ (but it could be a replay)
+
+- DS construction example: signing a certificate
+
+### Comparison: integrity/authentication approaches
+
+- 1) Collision resistant hashing: need a read-only public space
+  - Allows public verification if the hash is published in a small read-only public space
+- 2) MACs: must compute a new MAC for every client/user
+  - Must manage a long-term secret key per user to verify MACs (depending on application)
+  - Typically useful when one party signs, one verifies
+- 3) Digital signatures: must manage a long-term secret key
+  - E.g. vendor's signature on software is shipped with software
+  - Allows software to be downloaded from an untrusted distribution site
+  - Public-key verification/rejection works, provided public key distribution is trustworthy
+  - Typically useful when one party signs, many verify
+
