Abstract:
Secure cryptography operations on a white-box cryptography device. Receiving a first message. Receiving a cryptographic key encrypted using a homomorphic encryption scheme. Performing a cryptographic operation, e.g., decryption or digital signature, using the encrypted cryptographic key. Performing a homorphically encrypted tracer calculation that traces the performance of the cryptography operations on the white-box cryptography device thereby allowing verification that all steps of the cryptography operation has been performed without external manipulation. Performing a key-exchange operation. Decrypting the key-exchange output using an alternate cryptographic key stored on the cryptographic device.
