Attacking the IKNP Protocol: Analyzing Security Vulnerabilities

הרקע לפרויקט:

The background for the project lies in the field of secure communication protocols and cryptographic algorithms. The IKNP (Ishai-Kushilevitz-Nissim-Petrov) protocol is a well-known protocol used in secure multiparty computation and privacy-preserving applications. It provides a means for parties to securely compute a function on their private inputs without revealing any sensitive information.

However, as with any cryptographic protocol, there is a need to assess its security and potential vulnerabilities. In recent years, there has been significant progress in analyzing and attacking cryptographic protocols, uncovering flaws that may compromise their security guarantees.

This project aims to contribute to the field by either enhancing the security of the IKNP protocol against malicious adversaries or by analyzing the protocol for potential vulnerabilities. By conducting a thorough examination of the protocol's design, cryptographic assumptions, and implementation, the project seeks to advance the understanding of secure protocol design and provide insights into potential attack vectors or areas that require improvement.
