Modular exponentiation is an essential operation for many asymmetric key cryptosystems such as RSA in which encryption and decryption are based on modular exponentiation. Therefore, efficiency of the system is effected with running time of the modular exponentiation algorithm. At the same time, key sizes also influence the efficiency of the algorithm. Over the years key sizes had to be increased to provide security. To make RSA practical, one of usable choices is acceleration of the modular exponentiation algorithm. There are many methods for fast modular exponentiation, but all of them are not suitable for RSA. To find the most suitable one, we need to examine running time of the algorithms. In this thesis, we have studied some of the proposed fast modular exponentiation methods. They were implemented with using MPIR library and their running time results were compared with the repeated squaring and multiplication algorithm. Moreover, some efficient methods were recommended for RSA. In these methods, at least 23% improvement was obtained for each key sizes on decryption.

Modular exponentiation methods in cryptography Yünüak, Hasan Bartu; Cenk, Murat; Department of Cryptography (2017) Modular exponentiation has an important role in many cryptographic algorithms. These exponentiation methods differ in the bases used and their representations, the repeating aspect, and for which algorithms they are used for: fixed or variable base. Our research aims to compare the efficiencies and implementation timings for some selected algorithms. Also, we look at the options for using a dedicated cubing algorithm, and compare them with the current algorithms.
On provable security of some public key encryption schemes Hanoymak, Turgut; Akyıldız, Ersan; Selçuk, Ali Aydın; Department of Cryptography (2012) In this thesis, we analyse the security criteria of some public key encryption schemes. In this respect, we present the notion of adversarial goals and adversarial capabilities. We give the definition of provably security by means of several games between the challenger and the adversary in some security models, namely the standard model and the random oracle model. We state the main differences between these two models and observe the advantage of the success probability of the adversary in breaking the cr...
Some characterizations of generalized s-plateaued functions Çelik, Emircan; Özbudak, Ferruh; Department of Cryptography (2017) Plateaued functions play important role in cryptography because of their various desirable cryptographic features. Due to this characteristics they have been widely studied in the literature. This studies include p-ary functions and some generalizations of the boolean functions. In this thesis, we present some of this important work and show that plateaued functions can be generalized much more general framework naturally. Characterizations of generalized plateaued functions using Walsh power moments are al...
On the independence of statistical randomness tests included in the NIST test suite SULAK, FATİH; Uğuz, Muhiddin; Koçak, Onur Ozan; Doğanaksoy, Ali (2017-01-01) Random numbers and random sequences are used to produce vital parts of cryptographic algorithms such as encryption keys and therefore the generation and evaluation of random sequences in terms of randomness are vital. Test suites consisting of a number of statistical randomness tests are used to detect the nonrandom characteristics of the sequences. Construction of a test suite is not an easy task. On one hand, the coverage of a suite should be wide; that is, it should compare the sequence under considerati...
Mutual correlation of randomness test and analysis of test outputs of transformed and biased sequences Akcengiz, Ziya; Doğanaksoy, Ali; Department of Cryptography (2014) Randomness is one of the most important parts of the cryptography because key generation and key itself depend on random values. In literature, there exist statistical randomness tests and test suites to evaluate randomness of the cryptographic algorithm. Although there exist randomness tests, there is no mathematical evidence to prove that a sequence or a number is random. Therefore, it is vital to choose tests in the test suites due to independency and coverage of the tests used in the suites. Sensitivity...
