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 KATAN, LBLOCK and SIMON. Fo ...

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 ...

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 ...

Smashing WEP in A Passive Attack

Serge Vaudenay, Martin Vuagnoux, Pouyan Sepehrdad, Petr Susil

In this paper, we report extremely fast and optimised active and passive attacks against the old IEEE 802.11 wireless communication protocol WEP. This was achieved through a huge amount of theoretical and experimental analysis (capturing WiFi packets), ref ...

ElimLin Algorithm Revisited

Serge Vaudenay, Pouyan Sepehrdad, Petr Susil

ElimLin is a simple algorithm for solving polynomial systems of multivariate equations over small finite fields. It was initially proposed as a single tool by Courtois to attack DES. It can reveal some hidden linear equations existing in the ideal generate ...

Fast Key Recovery Attack on ARMADILLO1 and Variants

Serge Vaudenay, Pouyan Sepehrdad, Petr Susil

The ARMADILLO cryptographic primitive is a multi-purpose cryptographic primitive for RFID devices proposed at CHES’10. The main purpose of the primitive is to provide a secure authentication in a challenge-response protocol. It has two versions, named ARMA ...

ARMADILLO: A Multi-purpose Cryptographic Primitive Dedicated to Hardware

Serge Vaudenay, Stéphane Badel, Pouyan Sepehrdad, Nilay Dagtekin, Khaled Ouafi, Jorge Nakahara, Petr Susil

This paper describes and analyzes the security of a general-purpose cryptographic function design, with application in RFID tags and sensor networks. Based on these analyzes, we suggest minimum parameter values for the main components of this cryptographic ...
