Finding an s

The block findS(smin) starts from smin, and keeps trying out various s's until it finds one that makes the padCheck(m*s) accept

In [6]:
def findS(smin):
    global m
    global n
    si = smin
    while(True):
        si+=1
        mi = (m*si)%n
        if padCheck(mi):
            return si
            break

Figuring out the range of r's

Once we have found an $s$, and if we are assuming that $a \leq m \leq b$, then we know that $2B \leq ms - rn \leq 3B-1$ for some positive integer $r$. This gives the bound $$ \frac{bs - 2B}{n} \geq \frac{ms - 2B}{n} \geq r \geq \frac{ms-3B+1}{n} \geq \frac{as - 3B+1}{n} $$ The function findrRanges(s,a,b) returns the lower and upper bound based on the above formula.

In [7]:
def findrRanges(s,a,b):
    rmin = ceildiv((a*s)-B3+1,n)
    rmax = floordiv((b*s) - B2,n)
    return(rmin,rmax)

An optimisation in case of a single interval

In Bleichenbacher's original paper, he performs an optimisation in the setting when we have a single interval that is not the initial inverval of $(2B, 3B-1)$. In this case, you find $r \geq \frac{2(bs - 2B)}{n}$, and look for an $s$ in the range $$ \frac{2B + rn}{b} \leq s \leq \frac{3B-1 +rn}{a}. $$ Use this $s$ and proceed.

The idea is that this results in a new interval that's no more than half the original interval. You can see the details in Bleichenbacher's paper.

In [8]:
def findS_opt(s,a,b):
    global m
    global n
    global B2
    global B3
    
    r = floordiv(2*((b*s) - B2),n)
    while(True):
        found = False
        while(True):
            for si in range(ceildiv(B2+(r*n),b),floordiv(B3-1+(r*n),a)+1):
                mi = (si*m)%n
                if padCheck(mi):
                    found=True
                    return(si)
            if not found:
                r+=1

The attack

If we already knew that $a \leq m \leq b$ and that $2B \leq ms-rn \leq 3B$, then we get that $$ \frac{2B + rn}{s} \leq m \leq \frac{3B + rn -1}{s}, $$ and we can intersect this with the old interval $(a,b)$. The code below basically find an $s$ and updates the interval, until it ends up with a single interval of length $1$.
