Title:
A Simple and Unified Method of Proving Unpredictability
Authors: Mridul Nandi
Abstract:Recently Bernstein has provided a simpler proof of unpredictability of CBC construction which is giving insight of the construction. Unpredictability of any function intuitively means that the function behaves very closely to a uniform random function. In this paper we make a unifying and simple approach to prove unpredictability of many existing constructions. We first revisit Bernstein’s proof. Using this idea we can show a simpler proof of unpredictability of a class of DAG based construction, XCBC, TMAC, OMAC and PMAC. We also provide a simpler proof for stronger bound of CBC and a simpler proof of security of on-line Hash-CBC. We note that there is a flaw in the original security proof of Hash-CBC. This paper will help to understand security analysis of unpredictability of many constructions in a simpler way.
