Near Collision Attack Against Grain V1

A near collision attack against the Grain v1 stream cipher was proposed by Zhang et al. in Eurocrypt 18. The attack uses the fact that two internal states of the stream cipher with very low hamming distance between them, produce similar keystream sequences ...

Making Classical (Threshold) Signatures Post-quantum for Single Use on a Public Ledger

Serge Vaudenay, Laurane Chloé Angélina Marco, Abdullah Talayhan

The Bitcoin architecture heavily relies on the ECDSA signature scheme which is broken by quantum adversaries as the secret key can be computed from the public key in quantum polynomial time. To mitigate this attack, bitcoins can be paid to the hash of a pu ...

PAE: Towards More Efficient and BBB-Secure AE from a Single Public Permutation

Ritam Bhaumik

Four recent trends have emerged in the evolution of authenticated encryption schemes: (1) Regarding simplicity, the adoption of public permutations as primitives allows for sparing a key schedule and the need for storing round keys; (2) using the sums of p ...

On Succinct Non-interactive Arguments in Relativized Worlds

Alessandro Chiesa

Succinct non-interactive arguments of knowledge (SNARKs) are cryptographic proofs with strong efficiency properties. Applications of SNARKs often involve proving computations that include the SNARK verifier, a technique called recursive composition. Unfort ...

Zero-Knowledge IOPs with Linear-Time Prover and Polylogarithmic-Time Verifier

Alessandro Chiesa

Interactive oracle proofs (IOPs) are a multi-round generalization of probabilistically checkable proofs that play a fundamental role in the construction of efficient cryptographic proofs. ...

Boosting OMD for Almost Free Authentication of Associated Data

Serge Vaudenay, Damian Vizár, Reza Reyhanitabar

We propose pure OMD (p-OMD) as a new variant of the Offset Merkle-Damgård (OMD) authenticated encryption scheme. Our new scheme inherits all desirable security features of OMD while having a more compact structure and providing higher efficiency. The origi ...

OMD: A Compression Function Mode of Operation for Authenticated Encryption

Serge Vaudenay, Damian Vizár, Reza Reyhanitabar

We propose the Offset Merkle-Damgård (OMD) scheme, a mode of operation to use a compression function for building a nonce-based authenticated encryption with associated data. In OMD, the parts responsible for privacy and authenticity are tightly coupled to ...

Design and Analysis of Multi-Block-Length Hash Functions

Onur Özen

Cryptographic hash functions are used in many cryptographic applications, and the design of provably secure hash functions (relative to various security notions) is an active area of research. Most of the currently existing hash functions use the Merkle-Da ...

Faster Software Cryptography

Dag Arne Osvik

This thesis presents work on the efficiency and security of cryptographic software. First it describes several efforts to construct very efficient implementations of cryptographic primitives. These include the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) as well as ...

Cryptographic Hash Functions in Groups and Provable Properties

Juraj Sarinay

We consider several "provably secure" hash functions that compute simple sums in a well chosen group (G,*). Security properties of such functions provably translate in a natural way to computational problems in G that are simple to define and possibly also ...

An Analysis of the Blockcipher-Based Hash Functions from PGV

Martijn Stam

Preneel, Govaerts, and Vandewalle (1993) considered the 64 most basic ways to construct a hash function H: {0, 1}*->{0, 1}(n) from a blockcipher E: {0, 1}(n) x {0, 1}(n)->{0,1}(n). They regarded 12 of these 64 schemes as secure, though no proofs or formal ...

Algebraic, AIDA/Cube and Side Channel Analysis of KATAN Family of Block Ciphers

Pouyan Sepehrdad, Jorge Nakahara

This paper presents the first results on AIDA/cube, algebraic and side-channel attacks on variable number of rounds of all members of the KATAN family of block ciphers. Our cube attacks reach 60, 40 and 30 rounds of KATAN32, KATAN48 and KATAN64, respective ...

Another Glance at Double-Length Hashing

Martijn Stam, Onur Özen

We propose a novel framework for blockcipher-based double-length hash functions by extending the recent generalization presented by Stam at FSE '09 for single-call hash functions. We focus on compression functions compressing 3n bits to 2n bits that use on ...

A new approach to chi^2 cryptanalysis of block ciphers

Jorge Nakahara

The main contribution of this paper is a new approach to χ2 analyses of block ciphers in which plaintexts are chosen in a manner similar to that in a square/saturation attack. The consequence is a faster detection of χ2 correlation when compared to convent ...

Linear (Hull) and Algebraic Cryptanalysis of the Block Cipher PRESENT

Pouyan Sepehrdad, Jorge Nakahara

The contributions of this paper include the first linear hull and a revisit of the algebraic cryptanalysis of reduced-round variants of the block cipher PRESENT, under known-plaintext and ciphertext- only settings. We introduce a pure algebraic cryptanalys ...

Secure communication using authenticated channels

Sylvain Pasini

Our main motivation is to design more user-friendly security protocols. Indeed, if the use of the protocol is tedious, most users will not behave correctly and, consequently, security issues occur. An example is the actual behavior of a user in front of an ...

3D: A Three-Dimensional Block Cipher

Jorge Nakahara

The main contribution of this paper is a new iterated secret- key block cipher called 3D, inspired by the AES cipher. The 3D cipher has an SPN design, operates on 512-bit blocks, uses 512-bit keys, it- erates 22 rounds, and employs a 3-dimensional state, i ...

New Directions in Cryptanalysis of Self-Synchronizing Stream Ciphers

In cryptology we commonly face the problem of finding an unknown key K from the output of an easily computable keyed function F(C, K) where the attacker has the power to choose the public variable C. In this work we focus on self-synchronizing stream ciphe ...
