The two existing proposals to date are ART (Cohn-Gordon et al., CCS18) and TreeKEM (IETF, The Messaging Layer Security Protocol, draft). TreeKEM is the currently considered candidate by the IETF MLS working group, but dynamic group operations (i.e. adding and removing users) can cause efficiency issues. In this paper we formalize and analyze a variant of TreeKEM which we term Tainted TreeKEM (TTKEM for short). The basic idea underlying TTKEM was suggested by Millican (MLS mailing list, February 2018). This version is more efficient than TreeKEM for some natural distributions of group operations, we quantify this through simulations.Our second contribution is two security proofs for TTKEM which establish post compromise and forward secrecy even against adaptive attackers. The security loss (to the underlying PKE) in the Random Oracle Model is a polynomial factor, and a quasipolynomial one in the Standard Model. Our proofs can be adapted to TreeKEM as well. Before our work no security proof for any TreeKEM-like protocol establishing tight security against an adversary who can adaptively choose the sequence of operations was known. We also are the first to prove (or even formalize) active security where the server can arbitrarily deviate from the protocol specification. Proving fully active security – where also the users can arbitrarily deviate – remains open."}],"date_updated":"2024-10-21T06:02:18Z","publisher":"IEEE","doi":"10.1109/sp40001.2021.00035","scopus_import":"1","author":[{"first_name":"Karen","last_name":"Klein","full_name":"Klein, Karen","id":"3E83A2F8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"orcid":"0000-0001-8630-415X","first_name":"Guillermo","full_name":"Pascual Perez, Guillermo","last_name":"Pascual Perez","id":"2D7ABD02-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"orcid":"0000-0003-3186-2482","first_name":"Michael","full_name":"Walter, Michael","id":"488F98B0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Walter"},{"id":"4BD3F30E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Kamath Hosdurg","full_name":"Kamath Hosdurg, Chethan","first_name":"Chethan"},{"full_name":"Capretto, Margarita","last_name":"Capretto","first_name":"Margarita"},{"first_name":"Miguel","orcid":"0000-0002-2505-4246","last_name":"Cueto Noval","full_name":"Cueto Noval, Miguel","id":"ffc563a3-f6e0-11ea-865d-e3cce03d17cc"},{"id":"D0CF4148-C985-11E9-8066-0BDEE5697425","full_name":"Markov, Ilia","last_name":"Markov","first_name":"Ilia"},{"first_name":"Michelle X","orcid":"0009-0001-3676-4809","full_name":"Yeo, Michelle X","last_name":"Yeo","id":"2D82B818-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"first_name":"Joel F","id":"2A8DFA8C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Alwen, Joel F","last_name":"Alwen"},{"full_name":"Pietrzak, Krzysztof Z","id":"3E04A7AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Pietrzak","orcid":"0000-0002-9139-1654","first_name":"Krzysztof Z"}],"ec_funded":1,"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/1489"}],"related_material":{"record":[{"id":"10035","relation":"dissertation_contains","status":"public"},{"status":"public","relation":"dissertation_contains","id":"18088"}]},"day":"26","page":"268-284","corr_author":"1","date_published":"2021-08-26T00:00:00Z","quality_controlled":"1","user_id":"8b945eb4-e2f2-11eb-945a-df72226e66a9","project":[{"_id":"2564DBCA-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"665385","name":"International IST Doctoral Program","call_identifier":"H2020"},{"_id":"258AA5B2-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"682815","name":"Teaching Old Crypto New Tricks","call_identifier":"H2020"}],"department":[{"_id":"KrPi"},{"_id":"DaAl"}],"oa":1,"conference":{"location":"San Francisco, CA, United States","end_date":"2021-05-27","start_date":"2021-05-24","name":"SP: Symposium on Security and Privacy"},"oa_version":"Preprint","type":"conference","title":"Keep the dirt: tainted TreeKEM, adaptively and actively secure continuous group key agreement","status":"public","month":"08","_id":"10049","publication_status":"published","year":"2021","date_created":"2021-09-27T13:46:27Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}]}
