State Considered Harmful: A Discussion Of Stateless Computing And Backdoor Resistantance For Calculating One Time Pads
03-14, 21:00–21:20 (UTC), Dasharo vPub

The present talk will present potential methods of attacking a random number generator for use in one time pad cryptosystems and potential methods of mitigating those attacks. The methods of attack presented include potential vectors to backdoor a random number generator to keep previous states and inject malicious states to weaken the strength of said random number generator. The talk will also present a high level architecture of a random number generator that includes mitigations to the relevant attacks.


(likely will do demo using spice/hdl simulator if i get my stuff together. if not probably presenting relevant papers on construction of the details and the overall schematic)
