Measuring Limits on the Ability of Colluding Countries to Partition the Internet

June 30, 2015
Author(s)
Peter M. Mell, Richard Harang, Assane Gueye
We show that the strength of Internet-based network interconnectivity of countries is increasing over time. We then evaluate bounds on the extent to which a group of colluding countries can disrupt this connectivity. We evaluate the degree to which a group

New Second-Preimage Attacks on Hash Functions

June 23, 2015
Author(s)
Elena Andreeva, Charles Bouillaguet, Orr Dunkelman, Pierre-Alain Fouque, Jonathan J. Hoch, John M. Kelsey, Adi Shamir, Sebastien Zimmer
In this work, we present several new generic second-preimage attacks on hash functions. Our first attack is based on the herding attack and applies to various Merkle-Damgard-based iterative hash functions. Compared to the previously known long-message

Cardholder Authentication for the PIV Digital Signature Key

June 18, 2015
Author(s)
William Polk, Hildegard Ferraiolo, David Cooper
FIPS 201-2 requires explicit user action by the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) cardholder as a condition for use of the digital signature key stored on the card. This document clarifies the requirement for explicit user action to encourage the

Evaluating Bug Finders: Test and Measurement of Static Code Analyzers

May 23, 2015
Author(s)
Aurelien M. Delaitre, Bertrand C. Stivalet, Elizabeth N. Fong, Vadim Okun
Software static analysis is one of many options for finding bugs in software. Like compilers, static analyzers take a program as input. This paper covers tools that examine source code--without executing it--and output bug reports. Static analysis is a

This bulletin summarizes the information presented in NISTIR 8014, Considerations for Identity Management in Public Safety Mobile Networks, written by Nelson Hastings and Joshua Franklin. The publication analyzes approaches to identity management for

Evasion-Resistant Network Scan Detection

May 9, 2015
Author(s)
Richard Harang, Peter Mell
Popular network scan detection algorithms operate through evaluating external sources for unusual connection patterns and traffic rates. Research has revealed evasive tactics that enable full circumvention of existing approaches (specifically the widely
