Key-transport protocols, subclasses of key-establishment protocols, are employed to convey secret keys from a principal to another to let them establish a security association. In this thesis, we propose a lightweight, practicable, energy-efficient, and secure key-transport protocol, convenient for wireless sensor networks (WSN), the Internet of things (IoT) and mobile networks. The proposed protocol is based on the Shamir’s three-pass (no-key) protocol. Although Shamir’s three-pass protocol does not require any pre-shared secret between principals, we show that it is impossible to employ the three-pass protocol over public commutative groups. We modify Diffie-Hellman key-agreement protocol to morph it into a key-transport protocol by applying a set of changes on the original protocol, and it becomes possible to compare both protocols in terms of memory usage and total time to complete a single key transportation. The experimental results point out that the proposed key transport protocol performs faster than the modified Diffie-Hellman protocol, and the total time to transport a single key by using the modified Diffie-Hellman protocol grows drastically with the increase in key size.

Revisiting Shamir's no-key protocol: Lightweight key transport
Kılıç, Adnan; Onur, Ertan (2018-03-29)
Key-transport protocols, subclasses of key-establishment protocols, are employed to convey secret keys from a principal to another for establishing a security association. In this paper, we propose a lightweight, practicable, tweakable, energy-efficient, and secure key-transport protocol, suitable forwireless sensor networks (WSN), Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile networks. The proposed protocol is based on the Shamir's no-key protocol. Although Shamir's no-key protocol does not require any pre-shared se...
A faster intrusion detection method for high-speed computer networks
Tarım, Mehmet Cem; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
The malicious intrusions to computer systems result in the loss of money, time and hidden information which require deployment of intrusion detection systems. Existing intrusion detection methods analyze packet payload to search for certain strings and to match them with a rule database which takes a long time in large size packets. Because of buffer limits, packets may be dropped or the system may stop working due to high CPU load. In this thesis, we investigate signature based intrusion detection with sig...
Specification and verification of confidentiality in software architectures
Ulu, Cemil; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Department of Computer Engineering (2004)
This dissertation addresses the confidentiality aspect of the information security problem from the viewpoint of the software architecture. It presents a new approach to secure system design in which the desired security properties, in particular, confidentiality, of the system are proven to hold at the architectural level. The architecture description language Wright is extended so that confidentiality authorizations can be specified. An architectural description in Wright/c, the extended language, assigns...
Analysis of recent attacks on SSL/TLS protocols
Özden, Duygu; Cenk, Murat; Department of Cryptography (2016)
Transport Layer Security(TLS) and its predecessor Secure Socket Layer(SSL) are two important cryptographic, certificate based protocols that satisfy secure communication in a network channel. They are widely used in many areas such as online banking systems, online shopping, e-mailing, military systems or governmental systems. Being at the center of secure communication makes SSL and TLS become the target of attackers and an important field of study for researchers. So many vulnerabilities and attacks towar...
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...
