Verification and composition of security protocols with applications to electronic voting / Vérification et composition des protocoles de securité avec des applications aux protocoles de vote electronique

Ciobâcǎ, Ştefan 09 December 2011 (has links)
Cette these concerne la verification formelle et la composition de protocoles de securite, motivees en particulier par l'analyse des protocoles de vote electronique. Les chapitres 3 a 5 ont comme sujet la verification de protocoles de securite et le Chapitre 6 vise la composition.Nous montrons dans le Chapitre 3 comment reduire certains problemes d'une algebre quotient des termes a l'algebre libre des termes en utilisant des ensembles fortement complets de variants. Nous montrons que, si l'algebre quotient est donnee par un systeme de reecriture de termes convergent et optimalement reducteur (optimally reducing), alors des ensembles fortement complets de variants existent et sont finis et calculables.Dans le Chapitre 4, nous montrons que l'equivalence statique pour (des classes) de theories equationnelles, dont les theories sous-terme convergentes, la theorie de l'engagement a trappe (trapdoor commitment) et la theorie de signature en aveugle (blind signatures), est decidable en temps polynomial. Nous avons implemente de maniere efficace cette procedure.Dans le Chapitre 5, nous etendons la procedure de decision precedente a l'equivalence de traces. Nous utilisons des ensembles fortement complets de variants du Chapitre 3 pour reduire le probleme a l'algebre libre. Nous modelisons chaque trace du protocole comme une theorie de Horn et nous utilisons un raffinement de la resolution pour resoudre cette theorie. Meme si nous n'avons pas reussi a prouver que la procedure de resolution termine toujours, nous l'avons implementee et utilisee pour donner la premiere preuve automatique de l'anonymat dans le protocole de vote electronique FOO.Dans le Chapitre 6, nous etudions la composition de protocoles. Nous montrons que la composition de deux protocoles qui utilisent des primitives cryptographiques disjointes est sure s'ils ne revelent et ne reutilisent pas les secrets partages. Nous montrons qu'une forme d'etiquettage de protocoles est suffisante pour assurer la disjonction pour un ensemble fixe de primitives cryptographiques. / This thesis is about the formal verification and composition of security protocols, motivated by applications to electronic voting protocols. Chapters 3 to 5 concern the verification of security protocols while Chapter 6 concerns composition.We show in Chapter 3 how to reduce certain problems from a quotient term algebra to the free term algebra via the use of strongly complete sets of variants. We show that, when the quotient algebra is given by a convergent optimally reducing rewrite system, finite strongly complete sets of variants exist and are effectively computable.In Chapter 4, we show that static equivalence for (classes of) equational theories including subterm convergent equational theories, trapdoor commitment and blind signatures is decidable in polynomial time. We also provide an efficient implementation.In Chapter 5 we extend the previous decision procedure to handle trace equivalence. We use finite strongly complete sets of variants introduced in Chapter 3 to get rid of the equational theory and we model each protocol trace as a Horn theory which we solve using a refinement of resolution. Although we have not been able to prove that this procedure always terminates, we have implemented it and used it to provide the first automated proof of vote privacy of the FOO electronic voting protocol.In Chapter 6, we study composition of protocols. We show that two protocols that use arbitrary disjoint cryptographic primitives compose securely if they do not reveal or reuse any shared secret. We also show that a form of tagging is sufficient to provide disjointness in the case of a fixed set of cryptographic primitives.

Enforcing virtualized systems security / Renforcement de la sécurité des systèmes virtualisés

Benzina, Hedi 17 December 2012 (has links)
La virtualisation est une technologie dont la popularité ne cesse d’augmenter dans le monde de l’entreprise, et ce pour l’efficacité et la facilité de gestion qu’elle apporte. Cependant, le problème majeur de cette technologie est la sécurité. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons de renforcer la sécurité des systèmes virtualisés et nous introduisons de nouvelles approches pour répondre aux différents besoins en sécurité de cette technologie et aussi aux aspects liés à à son fonctionnement et son déploiement. Nous proposons une nouvelle architecture de supervision qui permet de contrôler la totalité de la plateforme virtualisée en temps réel. L’idée est de simuler une supervision décentralisée (plusieurs postes) sur un seul poste physique. Nous étudions les avantages et les limites de cette approche et nous montrons que cette solution est incapable de réagir é à un certain nombre d’attaques nouvelles. Comme remède, nous introduisons une nouvelle procédure qui permet de sécuriser les ressources critiques d’un système virtualisé pour s’assurer que des familles d’attaques ne peuvent être exécutées en ayant accès à ces ressources. Nous introduisons une variante de LTL avec de nouveaux opérateurs de passé et nous démontrons comment des politiques de sécurité formulées à l’aide de ce langage peuvent être facilement traduites en signatures d’attaques qui sont indispensables à la détection des intrusions dans le système. Nous analysons aussi l’impact d’une communication réseau non sécurisée entre machines virtuelles sur la sécurité globale du système virtualisé. Nous proposons un modèle d’une politique de sécurité multi-niveaux qui couvre la majorité des opérations liées au réseau et qui peuvent être exécutées par une machine virtuelle. Notre modèle couvre aussi des opérations de gestion de l’infrastructure virtualisée et étudie les contraintes de sécurité qui doivent être satisfaites. / Virtual machine technology is rapidly gaining acceptance as a fundamental building block in enterprise data centers. It is most known for improving efficiency and ease of management. However, the central issue of this technology is security. We propose in this thesis to enforce the security of virtualized systems and introduce new approaches that deal with different security aspects related not only to the technology itself but also to its deployment and maintenance. We first propose a new architecture that offers real-time supervision of a complete virtualized architecture. The idea is to implement decentralized supervision on one single physical host. We study the advantages and the limits of this architecture and show that it is unable to react according to some new stealthy attacks. As a remedy, we introduce a new procedure that permits to secure the sensitive resources of a virtualized system and make sure that families of attacks can not be run at all. We introduce a variant of the LTL language with new past operators and show how policies written in this language can be easily translated to attack signatures that we use to detect attacks on the system. We also analyse the impact that an insecure network communication between virtual machines can have on the global security of the virtualized system. We propose a multilevel security policy model that covers almost all the network operations that can be performed by a virtual machine. We also deal with some management operations and introduce the related constraints that must be satisfied when an operation is performed.

Plusieurs axes d'analyse de sites web compromis et malicieux / A multidimensional analysis of malicious and compromised websites

Canali, Davide 12 February 2014 (has links)
L'incroyable développement du World Wide Web a permis la création de nouveaux métiers, services, ainsi que de nouveaux moyens de partage de connaissance. Le web attire aussi des malfaiteurs, qui le considèrent comme un moyen pour gagner de l'argent en exploitant les services et la propriété d'autrui. Cette thèse propose une étude des sites web compromis et malicieux sous plusieurs axes d'analyse. Même si les attaques web peuvent être de nature très compliquées, on peut quasiment toujours identifier quatre acteurs principaux dans chaque cas. Ceux sont les attaquants, les sites vulnérables hébergés par des fournisseurs d'hébergement, les utilisateurs (souvent victimes des attaques), et les sociétés de sécurité qui parcourent Internet à la recherche de sites web compromis à être bloqués. Dans cette thèse, nous analysons premièrement les attaques web du point de vue des hébergeurs, en montrant que, même si des outils gratuits permettent de détecter des signes simples de compromission, la majorité des hébergeurs échouent dans cette épreuve. Nous passons en suite à l'analyse des attaquants et des leurs motivations, en étudiant les attaques web collectés par des centaines de sites web vulnérables. Ensuite, nous étudions le comportement de milliers de victimes d'attaques web, en analysant leurs habitudes pendant la navigation, pour estimer s'il est possible de créer des "profils de risque", de façon similaire à ce que les compagnies d'assurance font aujourd'hui. Enfin, nous adoptons le point de vue des sociétés de sécurité, en proposant une solution efficace pour la détection d'attaques web convoyées par sites web compromis / The incredible growth of the World Wide Web has allowed society to create new jobs, marketplaces, as well as new ways of sharing information and money. Unfortunately, however, the web also attracts miscreants who see it as a means of making money by abusing services and other people's property. In this dissertation, we perform a multidimensional analysis of attacks involving malicious or compromised websites, by observing that, while web attacks can be very complex in nature, they generally involve four main actors. These are the attackers, the vulnerable websites hosted on the premises of hosting providers, the web users who end up being victims of attacks, and the security companies who scan the Internet trying to block malicious or compromised websites. In particular, we first analyze web attacks from a hosting provider's point of view, showing that, while simple and free security measures should allow to detect simple signs of compromise on customers' websites, most hosting providers fail to do so. Second, we switch our point of view on the attackers, by studying their modus operandi and their goals in a distributed experiment involving the collection of attacks performed against hundreds of vulnerable web sites. Third, we observe the behavior of victims of web attacks, based on the analysis of their browsing habits. This allows us to understand if it would be feasible to build risk profiles for web users, similarly to what insurance companies do. Finally, we adopt the point of view of security companies and focus on finding an efficient solution to detecting web attacks that spread on compromised websites, and infect thousands of web users every day
