Security in the Presence of Quantum Adversaries

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Multiquadratic Rings and Walsh-Hadamard Transforms for Oblivious Linear Function Evaluation

Juan Ramón Troncoso-Pastoriza

The Ring Learning with Errors (RLWE) problem has become one of the most widely used cryptographic assumptions for the construction of modern cryptographic primitives. Most of these solutions make use of power-of-two cyclotomic rings mainly due to its simpl ...

Towards Low Energy Stream Ciphers

Francesco Regazzoni, Subhadeep Banik

Energy optimization is an important design aspect of lightweight cryptography. Since low energy ciphers drain less battery, they are invaluable components of devices that operate on a tight energy budget such as handheld devices or RFID tags. At Asiacrypt ...

Some Cryptanalytic Results on Lizard

Subhadeep Banik

Lizard is a lightweight stream cipher proposed by Hamann, Krause and Meier in IACR ToSC 2017. It has a Grain-like structure with two state registers of size 90 and 31 bits. The cipher uses a 120 bit secret key and a 64 bit IV. The authors claim that Lizard ...

Breaking The FF3 Format-Preserving Encryption Standard Over Small Domains

Serge Vaudenay, Fatma Betül Durak

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently published a Format-Preserving Encryption standard accepting two Feistel structure based schemes called FF1 and FF3. Particularly, FF3 is a tweakable block cipher based on an 8-round Feistel ...

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 ...

Cryptanalysis of a Homomorphic Encryption Scheme

Serge Vaudenay, Sonia Mihaela Bogos

Homomorphic encryption allows to make specific operations on private data which stays encrypted. While applications such as cloud computing require to have a practical solution, the encryption scheme must be secure. In this article, we detail and analyze i ...

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 ...

Protecting against Multidimensional Linear and Truncated Differential Cryptanalysis by Decorrelation

Serge Vaudenay

The decorrelation theory provides a different point of view on the security of block cipher primitives. Results on some statistical attacks obtained in this context can support or provide new insight on the security of symmetric cryptographic primitives. I ...

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 ...

Bringing Theory Closer to Practice in Post-quantum and Leakage-resilient Cryptography

Alexandre Raphaël Duc

Modern cryptography pushed forward the need of having provable security. Whereas ancient cryptography was only relying on heuristic assumptions and the secrecy of the designs, nowadays researchers try to make the security of schemes to rely on mathematical ...

Facile preparation of micron- and nano-scale textured master for nano-imprinting front electrode in thin-film silicon tandem cells with improved light trapping

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Etienne Antoine Julien Moulin

This paper reports a facile method to prepare a textured surface with combined micron- and nano-scale surface features, which is used as master for nano-imprinting process to obtain transparent front electrodes in thin-film silicon tandem cells. The micron ...

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 ...

Unifying Leakage Models: From Probing Attacks to Noisy Leakage

Alexandre Raphaël Duc, Sebastian Faust

A recent trend in cryptography is to formally show the leakage resilience of cryptographic implementations in a given leakage model. One of the most prominent leakage models -- the so-called bounded leakage model -- assumes that the amount of leakage is a- ...

Statistical and Algebraic Cryptanalysis of Lightweight and Ultra-Lightweight Symmetric Primitives

Pouyan Sepehrdad

Symmetric cryptographic primitives such as block and stream ciphers are the building blocks in many cryptographic protocols. Having such blocks which provide provable security against various types of attacks is often hard. On the other hand, if possible, ...

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. ...
