The Design and Analysis of Cryptographic Application Programming Interfaces for Security Devices

TL;DRAbstract

The significance of security devices that protect the numerous transactions, which take place in today’s distributed virtual environment, cannot be underestimated. The importance of such devices will increase as our society continues to evolve into a cashless electronic society. The continuing increase in the number and size of electronic transactions, the advances in the technology utilized and the growing sophistication of the adversary have led to significant resources being invested in the evaluation and analysis of security devices. There has been a transformation of the traditional security analysis from one focused on mathematical primitives and physical engineering solutions to a holistic approach that seeks to protect against subtle interactions between the cryptographic, logical and physical aspects of such devices that can collude to compromise the security thereof. In the above setting, this dissertation investigates the electronic interface to security devices (i.e., the a
