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 ...

On the Key Schedule of Lightweight Block Ciphers

Serge Vaudenay, Jialin Huang

Key schedules in lightweight block ciphers are often highly simplified, which causes weakness that can be exploited in many attacks. Today it remains an open problem on how to use limited operations to guarantee enough diffusion of key bits in lightweight ...

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 ...

Misuse-Resistant Variants of the OMD Authenticated Encryption Mode

Serge Vaudenay, Damian Vizár, Reza Reyhanitabar

We present two variants of OMD which are robust against nonce misuse. Security of OMD---a CAESAR candidate---relies on the assumption that implementations always ensure correct use of nonce (a.k.a. message number); namely that, the nonce never gets repeate ...

Revisiting Iterated Attacks in the Context of Decorrelation Theory

Serge Vaudenay, Atefeh Mashatan, Asli Bay

Iterated attacks are comprised of iterating adversaries who can make d plaintext queries, in each iteration to compute a bit, and are trying to distinguish between a random cipher C and the perfect cipher C* based on all bits. Vaudenay showed that a 2d-dec ...

On Selection of Samples in Algebraic Attacks and a New Technique to Find Hidden Low Degree Equations

Serge Vaudenay, Pouyan Sepehrdad, Petr Susil

The best way of selecting samples in algebraic attacks against block ciphers is not well explored and understood. We introduce a simple strategy for selecting the plaintexts and demonstrate its strength by breaking reduced-round KATAN32 and LBlock. In both ...

Breaking the IOC Authenticated Encryption Mode

Serge Vaudenay, Reza Reyhanitabar, Paul Bottinelli

In this paper we cryptanalyse a block cipher mode of operation, called Input Output Chaining (IOC), designed by Recacha and submitted to NIST in 2013 for consideration as a lightweight authenticated encryption mode. We present an existential forgery attack ...

Location leakage in distance bounding: Why location privacy does not work

Serge Vaudenay, Aikaterini Mitrokotsa

In many cases, we can only have access to a service by proving we are sufficiently close to a particular location (e.g. in automobile or building access control). In these cases, proximity can be guaranteed through signal attenuation. However, by using add ...
