OVERVIEWOVERVIEW
NaCl/Sodium libraries
Elliptic Curve Cryptography
Sodium in PHP 7.2:
1. Encrypt with a shared-key
2. Authenticate with a shared-key
3. Sending secret messages
4. Digital signature
5. AEAD AES-GCM
6. Store passwords safely
7. Derive a key from a user's password

CRYPTOGRAPHYCRYPTOGRAPHY
Cryptography is hard. Hard to design, hard to implement,
hard to use, and hard to get right.

High-speed software library for network
communication, encryption, decryption, signatures, etc

attacks

SIDE-CHANNELATTACKSIDE-CHANNELATTACK
Attack based on information gained from the
implementation of a computer system, rather than
weaknesses in the implemented algorithm itself

TIMINGATTACKTIMINGATTACK
An attacker measures the CPU time to perform some
procedures involving a secret (e.g. encryption key). If this
time depends on the secret, the attacker may be able to
deduce information about the secret.

EXAMPLEINPHPEXAMPLEINPHP
function compare(string $expected, string $actual): bool
{
$lenExpected = strlen($expected);
$lenActual = strlen($actual);
if ($lenExpected !== $lenActual) {
return false;
}
for($i=0; $i < $lenActual; $i++) {
if ($expected[$i] !== $actual[$i]) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}

* constant-time comparison
function compare(string $expected, string $actual): bool
{
$lenExpected = strlen($expected);
$lenActual = strlen($actual);
$len = min($lenExpected, $lenActual);
$result = 0;
for ($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++) {
$result |= ord($expected[$i]) ^ ord($actual[$i]);
}
$result |= $lenExpected ^ $lenActual;
return ($result === 0);
}

BESTTIMINGATTACKBESTTIMINGATTACK
In 2006 Adi Shamir, Eran Tromer, and Dag Arne Osvik
used a timing attack to discover, in 65 milliseconds, the
secret key used in widely deployed software for hard-
disk encryption.
