Having read the full paper, it's about two things:
exploring how DH can be mathematically attacked (but still computationally infeasible, just much easier), and,
ways that a library implementing DH could be backdoored/weakened to make one of those attacks computationally feasible to a well-equipped adversary.
EDIT: if you like code more than math, the paper links to this repo for some examples: https://github.com/mimoo/Diffie-Hellman_Backdoor https://github.com/mimoo/Diffie-Hellman_Backdoor
- technion 10y agoI can read these sorts of papers for hour, and they suddenly make sense after ten minutes of reading the code. Thanks for that link.
