Abstract

The use of cryptographic nonces is a popular technique to strengthen security protocols, in particular to make them resistant to replay attacks. In this paper, we investigate the use of computer-generated random sentences as cryptographic nonces. We introduce and describe a trainable Markovian sentence-generator that can utilize OSMNs (Online Social media Networks) text messages (e.g Facebook messages or Twitter feeds) and well-established news websites as random sentence nonces. This can be used in order to strengthen arbitrary cryptographic protocols in such a way that the use of the nonces remains hidden. This is particularly convenient for a class of recently designed multi-channel steganographic protocols.
