Paper For Above instruction

This paper explores the application of the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) using SageMath for signature validation and generation under specified domain parameters. We analyze three digital signatures to verify their validity and perform signing operations with given private keys and hash values. These processes are crucial in cryptographic systems for ensuring data integrity and authenticity.

Introduction

Digital signatures are fundamental in securing digital communications, providing mechanisms for verifying the origin and integrity of messages. DSA, developed by the National Security Agency (NSA) and adopted by NIST, is a widely used standard for digital signatures. The SageMath software, with its robust capabilities in algebra and number theory, offers an efficient environment for implementing and testing DSA operations.

Domain Parameters and Key Components

The security and functionality of DSA depend heavily on domain parameters: a large prime p, a prime q dividing p-1, and a generator g of a subgroup of order q. The specific parameters given are:

  • p = 7,877,914,592,603,328,881
  • q = 44449
  • g = 2,860,021,798,868,462,661

Each signature involves a public key y, a hash value H, and components r and s. Validity checks involve verifying the mathematical relationships inherent in the DSA signature scheme.

Signature Validation

To verify a signature (r,s), the following conditions must be satisfied:

  1. Verify that r and s are within valid ranges: 0
  2. Calculate w = s^{-1} mod q.
  3. Compute u1 = (H w) mod q and u2 = (r w) mod q.
  4. Calculate v = ((g^{u1} * y^{u2}) mod p) mod q.
  5. If v equals r, the signature is valid.

Using SageMath, we code these steps for each signature.

Implementation in SageMath

Define domain parameters


p = 7897914592603328881


q = 44449


g = 2860021798868462661


Function to verify signatures


def verify_signature(y, H, r, s):


if not (0 

return False


w = Integer(s).inverse_mod(q)


u1 = (H * w) % q


u2 = (r * w)) % q


v = ((pow(g, u1, p) * pow(y, u2, p)) % p) % q


return v == r


Part (a) signature details


y_a = ... # public key y - missing data


H_a = 59367


r_a = 31019


s_a = 4047


Part (b) signature details


y_b = ... # public key y - missing data


H_b = 77241


r_b = 24646


s_b = 43556


Part (c) signature details


y_c = ... # public key y - missing data


H_c = 48302


r_c = 36283


s_c = 32514


Check validity for each part


valid_a = verify_signature(y_a, H_a, r_a, s_a)


valid_b = verify_signature(y_b, H_b, r_b, s_b)


valid_c = verify_signature(y_c, H_c, r_c, s_c)

Note: The public key y values for each signature are missing in the provided data; thus, validation cannot be completed without these values. In practice, public keys are essential for verification and must be accurately specified.

Signature Generation

Signing a message with private key x involves:

  1. Choosing a random per-message secret k, 0
  2. Calculating r = (g^k mod p) mod q.
  3. Computing s = (k^{-1} (H + x r)) mod q.

Implementing in SageMath:

import random


def sign_message(x, H):


while True:


k = random.randint(1, q - 1)


r = (pow(g, k, p)) % q


if r != 0:


break


k_inv = Integer(k).inverse_mod(q)


s = (k_inv  (H + x  r)) % q


return r, s


Part (a) signing


x_a = 8146


H_a = 22655


r_a, s_a = sign_message(x_a, H_a)


Part (b) signing


x_b = 1548


H_b = 32782


r_b, s_b = sign_message(x_b, H_b)

Discussion and Conclusion

The application of SageMath simplifies the complex calculations involved in DSA signature verification and creation. The validation process underscores the importance of accurate public keys and the cryptographic parameters' security parameters. Moreover, the signing operation demonstrates how private keys can securely produce signatures that others can verify without revealing private data.

However, the missing public key y values in the provided data hinder complete validation. In practical deployments, establishing and securely exchanging public keys is critical. This exercise exemplifies how computational tools like SageMath bolster cryptographic research and implementation, reinforcing security when correctly applied.
