Kouichi Sakurai received the B.S. degree in mathematics from the Faculty of Science, Kyushu University in 1986. He received the M.S. degree in applied science in 1988, and the Doctorate in engineering in 1993 from the Faculty of Engineering, Kyushu University. He was engaged in research and development on cryptography and information security at the Computer and Information Systems Laboratory at Mitsubishi Electric Corporation from 1988 to 1994. From 1994, he worked for the Dept. of Computer Science of Kyushu University in the capacity of associate professor, and became a full professor there in 2002. He is concurrently working also with the Institute of Systems & Information Technologies and Nanotechnologies, as the chief of Information Security laboratory, for promoting research co-oporations among the industry, university and government under the theme "Enhancing IT-security in social systems". He has been successful in generating such co-operation between Japan, China and Korea for security technologies as the leader of a Cooperative International Research Project supported by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) during 2005-2006. Moreover, in March 2006, he established research co-oporations under a Memorandum of Understanding in the field of information security with Professor Bimal Kumar Roy, the first time Japan has partnered with The Cryptology Research Society of India (CRSI). Professor Sakurai has published more than 400 academic papers around cryptography and information security (See:https://dblp.uni-trier.de/pers/hd/s/Sakurai:Kouichi)

- Based on the Memorandum of Understanding concluded between Japan Science and Technology Agency ("JST") and Department of Science and Technology (“DST”) of the Government of India on DEC.8.2006, JST and DST have initiated a programme for joint funding of Japanese -Indian cooperative research projects in the area of “Multidisciplinary Research Field, which combines Information and Communications Technology with Other Fields” (“Multidisciplinary ICT”). The funding will be mainly allocated to enhance bilateral research collaboration with a special emphasis on enhancing exchange visits or joint meetings of scientists of both countries. Successful projects will be funded for a period of three years. "Analysis of Cryptographic Algorithms and Evaluation on Enhancing Network Security Based on Mathematical Science" as one of this joint-projects is led by Prof. SAKURAI of Japanese-side and Prof. ROY of Indian-side started from 2008 . Our project has gained research fund from Japan Science and Technology Agency and Department of Science and Technology of the Government of India.

In this paper, we analyze an attack in an extremely limited scenario where only one pixel can be modified. For that we propose a novel method for generating one-pixel adversarial perturbations based on differential evolution (DE). It requires less adversarial information (a black-box attack) and can fool more types of networks due to the inherent features of DE. The results show that 67.97% of the natural images in Kaggle CIFAR-10 test dataset and 16.04% of the ImageNet (ILSVRC 2012) test images can be perturbed to at least one target class by modifying just one pixel with 74.03% and 22.91% confidence on average. We also show the same vulnerability on the original CIFAR-10 dataset. Thus, the proposed attack explores a different take on adversarial machine learning in an extreme limited scenario, showing that current DNNs are also vulnerable to such low dimension attacks. Besides, we also illustrate an important application of DE (or broadly speaking, evolutionary computation) in the domain of adversarial machine learning: creating tools that can effectively generate low-cost adversarial attacks against neural networks for evaluating robustness.. |

In this paper we investigate the problem of supporting write operation on the outsourced data for clients using mobile devices. We consider the Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-based Encryption (CP-ABE) scheme as it is well suited to support access control in outsourced cloud environments. One shortcoming of CP-ABE is that users can modify the access policy specified by the data owner if write operations are incorporated in the scheme. We propose a protocol for collaborative processing of outsourced data that enables the authorized users to perform write operation without being able to alter the access policy specified by the data owner. Our scheme is accompanied with a light weight signature scheme and simple, inexpensive user revocation mechanism to make it suitable for processing on resource-constrained mobile devices. The implementation and detailed performance analysis of the scheme indicate the suitability of the proposed scheme for real mobile applications. Moreover, the security analysis demonstrates that the security properties of the system are not compromised.. |

Public key encryption schemes solve this issue partially. However, there is still a weak point that the secret key is not completely protected; that is, public key encryption schemes suffer from illegal copy of secret keys (the key-cloning problem). In this paper, first, we discuss the usability of terminal fingerprints for key-cloning protection. Next, we propose a hybrid encryption scheme using terminal fingerprints to protect the secret keys from the key-cloning. Based on an assumption that the terminal fingerprint is unchangeable and unextractable even by the user of the terminal, our hybrid encryption scheme can be effectively used as a method of the key-cloning protection. Then, we instantiate our hybrid encryption scheme as a combination of the attribute-based encryption scheme and the RSA encryption scheme; the attribute-based encryp- tion scheme functions as a mechanism for authentication of user’s attributes, and the RSA encryption scheme functions as a mechanism for authentication of a terminal device. Terminal fingerprint that is a feature of the device is used to generate a secret key of the RSA encryption.. |

Presentations
| 1. | 櫻井幸一/Kouichi SAKURAI, Revisiting computationally independent pair of one-way functions from the point of view of non-malleability, The 2021 IEEE Conference on Dependable and Secure Computing, 2021.02, [URL], One-way functions have been playing a fundamental role in modern cryptography, based on which important constructions and results are obtained. This talk introduces computationally-independent pair of one-way functions, which was motivated from Koyama’s initiated work on two move interactive proofs of computational power [“Direct Demonstration of the Power to Break Public-Key Cryptosystems", AUSCRYPT’90]. The speaker’s previous work [“Theory and application of computationally independent one-way functions: Interactive proof of ability - Revisited” ICMC’19] were focusing mainly on (non) one-way property of the pairwise one-way functions as an independency and remarked a connection with a side-channel model by Komargodski [Leakage Resilient One-Way Functions: The Auxiliary-Input Setting", TCC’16], whereas this talk discusses their non-malleability. Also we revisit Koyama’s approach with recent developments of cryptographic theory and applications.. |

Next, we discuss the security of e-voting including "Receipt-freeness" and "coercion-resistance" in recently proposed e-voting schemes with Blockchain, while we investigate the relationship and real gap between "receipt-freeness" and "coercion-resistance", which is one of the significant issues in Internet e-voting systems. Final remark is about how to design the ideal e-voting scheme with perfect security and strong privacy.. |

Abstract
The author have taught basic cryptography course at his home university to computer science students at
Graduate Level, and some University of India at Undergraduate level. Now in many countries including
US, UK, Canada, China, Korea, and Japan et.al. Cryptography courses are offered at both the
undergraduate and graduate levels in mathematics, computer science and electrical engineering
departments. Note that Kyushu University now, from April 2017, gives the basic cyber security course to
all of students of 1st grade undergraduate, which includes also elementary of cryptography. Indeed
understanding Modern Cryptography with public-key technology needs understanding the underlying
mathematical theory including basic number theory, information theory, combinatorics, and fundamental
computational theory, which might be not so easy, but this subject is giving us to strong motivation to
teach Mathematics as an inter discrepancy subjects with computer science, This talk would survey recent
mathematical cryptographic course all over the world even via online-class and e-learning. Also the author
presents his experience during his teaching and exercise with examination. Keywords: Cryptography,
