Blockchain in audit trails : An investigation of how blockchain can help auditors to implement audit trailsSahlin, Emma, Levenby, Rebecka January 2018 (has links)
Background: Blockchain have attracted a lot of attention in the last few years. It has been described as a technology that will increase the effectiveness of monitoring and improve the auditability of transactions which would have great implications for accountants and auditors. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how blockchain can help auditors to implement audit trails. The aim is to increase awareness about what the blockchain technology is, investigate if blockchain can be used in audit trails and if it can contribute to more cost-effective, reliable and secure audit trail. Methodology: The study is an exploratory research to increase the knowledge and understanding of blockchain and audit trails. It has a qualitative approach where primary data is collected from a semi-structured interview with Deloitte. Conclusion: The results indicates that there exists a gap in the literature of previously research on blockchain in relation to audit trails that needs further investigation. Furthermore, this study shows that blockchain is a technology with a lot of potential, but knowledge is still limited. This study concludes that there is too little research conducted to be able to provide any conclusive evidence. Due to findings and limitations of this research, suggestions for further research is provided.

Säker grannupptäck i IPv6 / Secure Neighbor Discovery in IPv6Huss, Philip January 2011 (has links)
The IPv6 protocol offers with some new functions, one of them is auto configuration. With auto configuration it is possible for nodes, i.e. hosts and routers, for automatically associated with IPv6 addresses without manual configuration. Auto configuration it is another protocol as it uses Neighbor Discovery protocol (ND) messages (ND is mandatory in the IPv6 stack). The main purpose of ND is that nodes can discover other nodes on the local link, perform address resolution, check that addresses are unique, and check the reachability with active nodes. There are exactly the same vulnerabilities of IPv6 as IPv4 and is now exception, ND if not properly secured. IPsec is a standard security mechanism for IPv6 but it does not solve the problem of secure auto configuration due the bootstrapping problem. Therefore the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) introduced Secure Neighbor Discovery (SEND). SEND is a mechanism for authentication, message protection, and router authentication. One important element of SEND is the use of Cryptographically Generated Address (CGA) an important mechanism to prove that the sender of the ND message is the actual owner of the address it claims NDprotector is an open-source implementation of SEND served as the basis for the analysis presented in this report. This implementation was evaluated in a small lab environment against some attacks in order to establish if it can defend itself from these attacks. / IPv6 protokollet kom det ett par nya funktioner där en av dem är autokonfiguration. Autokonfiguration gör det möjligt för noder, d.v.s. hostar och routrar för att automatiskt bli tilldelade IPv6 adresser manuell konfigurering. För att autokonfiguration ska fungera så används Neighbor Discovery (ND) meddelanden som är ett obligatoriskt protokoll i IPv6- stacken. ND har till huvudsaklig uppgift att noder kan upptäcka andra noder på den lokala länken, utföra adressöversättningar, kolltrollera så att adresser är unika samt kontrollera tillgängligheten hos aktiva noder. Precis som IPv4 så har IPv6 en hel del sårbarheter och med ND så är det inget undantag då det inte är säkrat. IPsec som är en den standard säkerhets mekanism till IPv6 löser inte problemet på grund av bootstrapping problemet. Det var därför Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) introducerade Secure Neighbor Discovery (SEND). SEND är en mekanism för autentisering, meddelande skydd och router autentisering. En viktig del av SEND är Cryptographilcally Generated Address (CGA), en teknik som används för att försäkra sig så att det är den sändaren av ND meddelandet som är den riktiga ägaren av den hävdade adressen. NDprotector är en öppen källkods implementation av SEND som jag har valt att ha som grund för denna rapport. Jag kommer att sätta upp NDprotector i en liten labbmiljö där jag kommer att utföra olika attacker samt se efter om det klarar att försvara sig emot attackerna.

Um algoritmo de criptografia de chave pública semanticamente seguro baseado em curvas elípticas / A semantically secure public key algorithm based on elliptic curvesAraujo Neto, Afonso Comba de January 2006 (has links)
Esta dissertação apresenta o desenvolvimento de um novo algoritmo de criptografia de chave pública. Este algoritmo apresenta duas características que o tornam único, e que foram tomadas como guia para a sua concepção. A primeira característica é que ele é semanticamente seguro. Isto significa que nenhum adversário limitado polinomialmente consegue obter qualquer informação parcial sobre o conteúdo que foi cifrado, nem mesmo decidir se duas cifrações distintas correspondem ou não a um mesmo conteúdo. A segunda característica é que ele depende, para qualquer tamanho de texto claro, de uma única premissa de segurança: que o logaritmo no grupo formado pelos pontos de uma curva elíptica de ordem prima seja computacionalmente intratável. Isto é obtido garantindo-se que todas as diferentes partes do algoritmo sejam redutíveis a este problema. É apresentada também uma forma simples de estendê-lo a fim de que ele apresente segurança contra atacantes ativos, em especial, contra ataques de texto cifrado adaptativos. Para tanto, e a fim de manter a premissa de que a segurança do algoritmo seja unicamente dependente do logaritmo elíptico, é apresentada uma nova função de resumo criptográfico (hash) cuja segurança é baseada no mesmo problema. / This dissertation presents the development of a new public key algorithm. This algorithm has two key features, which were taken to be a goal from the start. The first feature is that it is semantically secure. That means that no polynomially bounded adversary can extract any partial information about the plaintext from the ciphertext, not even decide if two different ciphertexts correspond to the same plaintext. The second feature of the algorithm is that it depends on only one security assumption: that it is computationally unfeasible to calculate the logarithm on the group formed by the points of a prime order elliptic curve. That is achieved by ensuring that all parts of the algorithm are reducible to that problem. Also, it is presented a way to extend the algorithm so that it the resists attacks of an active adversary, in special, against an adaptive chosen-ciphertext attack. In order to do that, and attain to the assumption that only the assumption of the logarithm is necessary, it is introduced a new hash function with strength based of the same problem.

Amélioration des adresses CGA et du protocole SEND pour un meilleur support de la mobilité et de nouveaux services de sécurité / Improving CGA addresses and the SEND protocol for a better mobility support and new security servicesCheneau, Tony 07 January 2011 (has links)
A l'origine conçus pour protéger le protocole de Découverte de Voisins (Neighbor Discovery Protocol, NDP) en IPv6, les adresses générées de manière cryptographique (Cryptographically Generated Addresses, CGA) et le protocole SEND (Secure Neighbor Discovery) doivent maintenant s'adapter au contexte de mobilité et à ses nouvelles fonctionnalités. Cette mobilité revêt de nombreuses formes : mobilité du noeud (Mobile IPv6, MIPv6), mobilité des routeurs (Network Mobility, NEMO) ou encore mobilité gérée par le réseau (Proxy Mobile IPv6). De nombreux changements doivent être opérés dans le protocole SEND : les opérations cryptographiques doivent être allégées pour les terminaux à faible capacité de calcul, les incompatibilités entre le partage d'adresse dans les protocoles de mobilité et le mécanisme de protection d'adresses de SEND doivent être corrigés, etc. Dans une première partie de cette thèse, nous présentons le protocole de Découverte de Voisins, les adresses CGA et le protocole de sécurité SEND. Nous étudions leurs limitations et, afin d'améliorer les performances, nous proposons l'utilisation de la cryptographie basée sur les courbes elliptiques (ECC). À travers une série de tests, nous mesurons l'impact de notre proposition. Par la suite, nous modifions les spécifications du protocole SEND afin de supporter de nouveaux algorithmes crytpographiques. Dans une deuxième partie, nous résolvons les incompatibilités entre le protocole SEND et les protocoles de mobilité (par ex. MIPv6) et entre le protocole SEND et les adresses anycast. Dans une dernière partie, nous présentons plusieurs contributions basées sur une utilisation dérivée des adresses CGA et du protocole SEND. / Originally designed to protect the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) (part of the IPv6 protocol suite), the Cryptographically Generated Addresses (CGA) and the Secure Neighbor Discovery (SEND) now need to be adapted to the context of Mobility and extended to new functionalities. The term "Mobility" encompasses many aspects, among them : node mobility (Mobile IPv6, MIPv6), router mobility (Network Mobility, NEMO) and network-based mobility management (Proxy Mobile IPv6, PMIPv6). Numerous changes need to be operated on the SEND protocol in order to comply with the Mobility : the cryptographic operations need to be adapted to operate on low power mobile nodes, the incompatibilities between the address sharing model of the mobile protocol and the address protections offered by SEND need to be fixed, etc. Firstly, we present the Neighbor Discovery protocol, the CGA addresses and the SEND protocol. We study their limitations, and, in order to improve their performances, we propose to replace the signature algorithm used in SEND (RSA) by the elliptic curves cryptography (ECC). We then evaluate the performances of our proposal. Subsequently, we modify the SEND protocol to include a signature algorithm selection mechanism. Secondly, we solve incompatilities between the SEND protocol and the mobility protocols (e.g. MIPv6) and between the SEND protocol and the anycast addresses. Finally, we present our contributions containing a derivate use of the CGA addresses and the SEND protocol.
