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 ...

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 ...

Learning Image Descriptors with Boosting

Vincent Lepetit, Tomasz Piotr Trzcinski, Christos Marios Christoudias

We propose a novel and general framework to learn compact but highly discriminative floating-point and binary local feature descriptors. By leveraging the boosting-trick we first show how to efficiently train a compact floating-point descriptor that is ver ...

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 ...

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 ...

Efficient Hashing Using the AES Instruction Set

Joppe Willem Bos, Martijn Stam, Onur Özen

In this work, we provide a software benchmark for a large range of 256-bit blockcipher-based hash functions. We instantiate the underlying blockcipher with AES, which allows us to exploit the recent AES instruction set (AESNI). Since AES itself only output ...

Neutrality-Based Symmetric Cryptanalysis

Shahram Khazaei

Cryptographic primitives are the basic components of any cryptographic tool. Block ciphers, stream ciphers and hash functions are the fundamental primitives of symmetric cryptography. In symmetric cryptography, the communicating parties perform essentially ...

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 ...

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 ...
