Title:
Surreptitiously Weakening Cryptographic Systems

Authors: Bruce Schneier, Matthew Fredrikson, Tadayoshi Kohno, Thomas Ristenpart

Abstract:

Revelations over the past couple of years highlight the importance of understanding malicious and surreptitious weakening of cryptographic systems. We provide an overview of this domain, using a number of historical examples to drive development of a weaknesses taxonomy. This allows comparing different approaches to sabotage. We categorize a broader set of potential avenues for weakening systems using this taxonomy, and discuss what future research is needed to provide sabotage-resilient cryptography.
