Python implementations of cryptographic attacks and utilities.

Introduction

Python implementations of cryptographic attacks and utilities.

Requirements

• SageMath with Python 3.9
• PyCryptodome
• Hilbert Class Polynomial database (Only required for complex multiplication)

You can check your SageMath Python version using the following command:

$ sage -python --version
Python 3.9.0

If your SageMath Python version is older than 3.9.0, some features in some scripts might not work.

Usage

Unit tests are located in the test directory and can be executed using the unittest module or using pytest. This should not take very long, perhaps a few minutes depending on your machine.

To run a specific attack, you must add the code to the proper file before executing it.

Example

For example, you want to attack RSA using the Boneh-Durfee attack, with the following parameters (taken from test_rsa.py):

N = 88320836926176610260238895174120738360949322009576866758081671082752401596826820274141832913391890604999466444724537056453777218596634375604879123818123658076245218807184443147162102569631427096787406420042132112746340310992380094474893565028303466135529032341382899333117011402408049370805729286122880037249
e = 36224751658507610673165956970793195381480143363550601971796688201449789736497322700382657163240771111376677180786660893671085854060092736865293791299460933460067267613023891500397200389824179925263846148644777638774319680682025117466596019474987378275216579013846855328009375540444176771945272078755317168511

You add the following code at the bottom of the boneh_durfee.py file:

import logging

# Some logging so we can see what's happening.
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

N = 88320836926176610260238895174120738360949322009576866758081671082752401596826820274141832913391890604999466444724537056453777218596634375604879123818123658076245218807184443147162102569631427096787406420042132112746340310992380094474893565028303466135529032341382899333117011402408049370805729286122880037249
e = 36224751658507610673165956970793195381480143363550601971796688201449789736497322700382657163240771111376677180786660893671085854060092736865293791299460933460067267613023891500397200389824179925263846148644777638774319680682025117466596019474987378275216579013846855328009375540444176771945272078755317168511
p_bits = 512
delta = 0.26

p, q = attack(N, e, p_bits, delta=delta)
assert p * q == N
print(f"Found p = {p} and q = {q}")

Then you can simply execute the file using Sage. It does not matter where you execute it from, the Python path is automagically set:

You can also call the attacks from other Python files, but then you'll have to fix the Python path yourself.
