Cryptanalysis of LowMC instances using single plaintext/ciphertext pair

Serge Vaudenay, Subhadeep Banik, Fatma Betül Durak, Khashayar Barooti

Arguably one of the main applications of the LowMC family ciphers is in the post-quantum signature scheme PICNIC. Although LowMC family ciphers have been studied from a cryptanalytic point of view before, none of these studies were directly concerned with ...

Cryptanalysis of ForkAES

Subhadeep Banik

Forkciphers are a new kind of primitive proposed recently by Andreeva et al. for efficient encryption and authentication of small messages. They fork the middle state of a cipher and encrypt it twice under two smaller independent permutations. Thus, forkci ...

GIFT: A Small Present Towards Reaching the Limit of Lightweight Encryption

Subhadeep Banik

In this article, we revisit the design strategy of PRESENT, leveraging all the advances provided by the research community in construction and cryptanalysis since its publication, to push the design up to its limits. We obtain an improved version, named GI ...

DES S-box generator

Serge Vaudenay

The Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a cryptographic algorithm, designed by IBM, that was selected to be the national standard in 1977 by the National Bureau of Standards. The algorithm itself was entirely published but the design criteria were kept secre ...

Algebraic Cryptanalysis of Deterministic Symmetric Encryption

Petr Susil

Deterministic symmetric encryption is widely used in many cryptographic applications. The security of deterministic block and stream ciphers is evaluated using cryptanalysis. Cryptanalysis is divided into two main categories: statistical cryptanalysis and ...

Efficient Recursive Diffusion Layers for Block Ciphers, and Hash Functions

Pouyan Sepehrdad

Many modern block ciphers use maximum distance separable (MDS) matrices as the main part of their diffusion layers. In this paper, we propose a very efficient new class of diffusion layers constructed from several rounds of Feistel-like structures whose ro ...

Improved Linear Cryptanalysis of Reduced-Round MIBS

Serge Vaudenay, Asli Bay, Jialin Huang

MIBS is a 32-round lightweight block cipher with 64-bit block size and two different key sizes, namely 64-bit and 80-bit keys. Bay et al. provided the first impossible differential, differential and linear cryptanalyses of MIBS. Their best attack was a lin ...

New Impossible Differential and Known-Key Distinguishers for the 3D Cipher

Jorge Nakahara

The contributions of this paper are new 6-round impossible-differential (ID) and 9.75-round known-key distinguishers for the 3D block cipher. The former was constructed using the miss-in-the-middle technique, while the latter with an inside-out technique. ...

Cryptanalysis of reduced-round MIBS Block cipher

Serge Vaudenay, Jorge Nakahara, Asli Bay

This paper presents the first independent and systematic lin- ear, differential and impossible-differential (ID) cryptanalyses of MIBS, a lightweight block cipher aimed at constrained devices such as RFID tags and sensor networks. Our contributions include ...

Neutrality-Based Symmetric Cryptanalysis

Shahram Khazaei

Cryptographic primitives are the basic components of any cryptographic tool. Block ciphers, stream ciphers and hash functions are the fundamental primitives of symmetric cryptography. In symmetric cryptography, the communicating parties perform essentially ...

Cryptanalysis of the full MMB Block Cipher

Jorge Nakahara

The block cipher MMB was designed by Daemen, Govaerts and Vandewalle, in 1993, as an alternative to the IDEA block cipher. We exploit and describe unusual properties of the modular multiplication in ZZ232 −1 , which lead to a diﬀerential attack on the full ...

Lightweight Block Ciphers Revisited: Cryptanalysis of Reduced Round PRESENT and HIGHT

Onur Özen

Design and analysis of lightweight block ciphers have become more popular due to the fact that the future use of block ciphers in ubiquitous devices is generally assumed to be extensive. In this respect, several lightweight block ciphers are designed, of w ...

Advanced Differential-Style Cryptanalysis of the NSA's Skipjack Block Cipher

Skipjack is a block cipher designed by the NSA for use in US government phones, and commercial mobile and wireless products by ATT. Among its initial implementations in hardware were the Clipper chip and Fortezza PC cards, which have since influenced the p ...

Quantitative security of block ciphers : designs and cryptanalysis tools

Thomas Baignères

Block ciphers probably figure in the list of the most important cryptographic primitives. Although they are used for many different purposes, their essential goal is to ensure confidentiality. This thesis is concerned by their quantitative security, that i ...

Linear Cryptanalysis of Non Binary Ciphers (with an application to SAFER)

Serge Vaudenay, Thomas Baignères

In this paper we re-visit distinguishing attacks. We show how to generalize the notion of linear distinguisher to arbitrary sets. Our thesis is that our generalization is the most natural one. We compare it with the one by Granboulan et al. from FSE'06 by ...

KFC - The Krazy Feistel Cipher

Thomas Baignères

We introduce KFC, a block cipher based on a three round Feistel scheme. Each of the three round functions has an SPN-like structure for which we can either compute or bound the advantage of the best d-limited adaptive distinguisher, for any value of d. Usi ...

Proving the Security of AES Substitution-Permutation Network

Serge Vaudenay, Thomas Baignères

In this paper we study the substitution-permutation network (SPN) on which Rijndael is based. We introduce Rijndael*, a SPN identical to Rijndael except that fixed S-boxes are replaced by random and independent permutations. We prove that this construction ...

Statistical cryptanalysis of block ciphers

Pascal Junod

Since the development of cryptology in the industrial and academic worlds in the seventies, public knowledge and expertise have grown in a tremendous way, notably because of the increasing, nowadays almost ubiquitous, presence of electronic communication m ...
