Attacks on Scheme Implementing RSA<br />

If A and B use RSA for authentication and/or digital<br />

signatures then, if I want to impersonate A, I must<br />

either<br />

• Obtain A’s private key<br />

• Convince B that my public key belongs to A<br />

NOTE: A standard method of protecting against the<br />

latter attacks is to use a Public Key Infrastructure<br />

(PKI). This is a significant overhead<br />

• Identity based encryption?<br />
