Green Cryptography and Other Optimisations

Andrea Felice Caforio

The spectral decomposition of cryptography into its life-giving components yields an interlaced network of tangential and orthogonal disciplines that are nonetheless invariably grounded by the same denominator: their implementation on commodity computing p ...

BBB security for 5-round even-Mansour-based key-alternating Feistel ciphers

Ritam Bhaumik

In this paper, we study the security of the Key-Alternating Feistel (KAF) ciphers, a class of key alternating ciphers with the Feistel structure, where each round of the cipher is instantiated with n-bit public round permutation Pi\documentclass[12pt]{mini ...

Security in the Presence of Quantum Adversaries

Khashayar Barooti

With the looming threat of large-scale quantum computers, a fair portion of recent cryptographic research has focused on examining cryptographic primitives from the perspective of a quantum adversary. Shor's 1994 result revealed that quantum computers can ...

Six shades lighter: a bit-serial implementation of the AES family

Subhadeep Banik, Muhammed Fatih Balli

Recently, cryptographic literature has seen new block cipher designs such as PRESENT, GIFT or SKINNY that aim to be more lightweight than the current standard, i.e., AES. Even though AES family of block ciphers were designed two decades ago, they still rem ...

Serial Lightweight Implementation Techniques for Block Ciphers

Muhammed Fatih Balli

Most of the cryptographic protocols that we use frequently on the internet are designed in a fashion that they are not necessarily suitable to run in constrained environments. Applications that run on limited-battery, with low computational power, or area ...

A Deeper Look at the Energy Consumption of Lightweight Block Ciphers

Francesco Regazzoni, Subhadeep Banik, Andrea Felice Caforio, Muhammed Fatih Balli

In the last few years, the field of lightweight cryptography has seen an influx in the number of block ciphers and hash functions being proposed. In the past there have been numerous papers that have looked at circuit level implementation of block ciphers ...

Orthros: A Low-Latency PRF

Subhadeep Banik

We present Orthros, a 128-bit block pseudorandom function. It is designed with primary focus on latency of fully unrolled circuits. For this purpose, we adopt a parallel structure comprising two keyed permutations. The round function of each permutation is ...

Analyzing and Protecting Communication Metadata

Ludovic Barman

Most communication systems (e.g., e-mails, instant messengers, VPNs) use encryption to prevent third parties from learning sensitive information. However, encrypted communications protect the contents but often leak metadata: the amount of data sent and th ...

Atom: A Stream Cipher with Double Key Filter

Subhadeep Banik, Andrea Felice Caforio

It has been common knowledge that for a stream cipher to be secure against generic TMD tradeoff attacks, the size of its internal state in bits needs to be at least twice the size of the length of its secret key. In FSE 2015, Armknecht and Mikhalev however ...

Further Results on Efficient Implementations of Block Cipher Linear Layers

Subhadeep Banik

At the FSE conference of ToSC 2018, Kranz et al. presented their results on shortest linear programs for the linear layers of several well known block ciphers in literature. Shortest linear programs are essentially the minimum number of 2-input xor gates r ...

The Area-Latency Symbiosis: Towards Improved Serial Encryption Circuits

Subhadeep Banik, Andrea Felice Caforio, Muhammed Fatih Balli

The bit-sliding paper of Jean et al. (CHES 2017) showed that the smallest-size circuit for SPN based block ciphers such as AES, SKINNY and PRESENT can be achieved via bit-serial implementations. Their technique decreases the bit size of the datapath and na ...

A Study of Persistent Fault Analysis

Subhadeep Banik, Andrea Felice Caforio

Persistent faults mark a new class of injections that perturb lookup tables within block ciphers with the overall goal of recovering the encryption key. Unlike earlier fault types persistent faults remain intact over many encryptions until the affected dev ...

Compact Circuits for Combined AES Encryption/Decryption

Subhadeep Banik

The implementation of the AES encryption core by Moradi et al. at Eurocrypt 2011 is one of the smallest in terms of gate area. The circuit takes around 2400 gates and operates on an 8 bit datapath. However this is an encryption only core and unable to cate ...

Misuse Attacks on Post-quantum Cryptosystems

Serge Vaudenay, Fatma Betül Durak, Loïs Evan Huguenin-Dumittan, Abdullah Talayhan

Many post-quantum cryptosystems which have been proposed in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NISI) standardization process follow the same meta-algorithm, but in different algebras or different encoding methods. They usually propose two ...

Can Caesar Beat Galois?

Serge Vaudenay, Damian Vizár

The Competition for Authenticated Encryption: Security, Applicability and Robustness (CAESAR) has as its official goal to “identify a portfolio of authenticated ciphers that offer advantages over [the Galois-Counter Mode with AES]” and are suitable for wid ...

On Design of Robust Lightweight Stream Cipher with Short Internal State

Subhadeep Banik

The stream cipher Sprout with a short internal state was proposed in FSE 2015. Although the construction guaranteed resistance to generic Time Memory Data Tradeoff attacks, there were some weaknesses in the design and the cipher was completely broken. In t ...

Generic Round-Function-Recovery Attacks for Feistel Networks over Small Domains

Serge Vaudenay, Fatma Betül Durak

Feistel Networks (FN) are now being used massively to encrypt credit card numbers through format-preserving encryption. In our work, we focus on FN with two branches, entirely unknown round functions, modular additions (or other group operations), and when ...

Some Proofs of Conditional and Joint Biases in RC4 Stream Cipher

Subhadeep Banik

In this paper we present proofs for the new biases in RC4 which were experimentally found and listed out (without theoretical justifi- cations and proofs) in a paper by Vanhoef et al. in USENIX 2015. Their purpose was to exploit the vulnerabilities of RC4 ...
