Near Collision Attack Against Grain V1

Daniel Patrick Collins, Subhadeep Banik, Willi Meier

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 ...

Green Cryptography and Other Optimisations

Andrea Felice Caforio

The spectral decomposition of cryptography into its life-giving components yields an interlaced network oftangential and orthogonal disciplines that are nonetheless invariably grounded by the same denominator: theirimplementation on commodity computing pla ...

Atom: A Stream Cipher with Double Key Filter

Andrea Felice Caforio, Subhadeep Banik, Willi Meier

It has been common knowledge that for a stream cipher to be secure against generic TMD tradeoff attacks, the size of its internal state in bits needs to be at least twice the size of the length of its secret key. In FSE 2015, Armknecht and Mikhalev however ...

Six shades lighter: a bit-serial implementation of the AES family

Subhadeep Banik, Muhammed Fatih Balli, Sergio Roldán Lombardía

Recently, cryptographic literature has seen new block cipher designs such as PRESENT, GIFT or SKINNY that aim to be more lightweight than the current standard, i.e., AES. Even though AES family of block ciphers were designed two decades ago, they still rem ...

Analyzing and Protecting Communication Metadata

Ludovic Barman

Most communication systems (e.g., e-mails, instant messengers, VPNs) use encryption to prevent third parties from learning sensitive information.However, encrypted communications protect the contents but often leak metadata: the amount of data sent and the ...

Melting SNOW-V: Improved Lightweight Architectures

Andrea Felice Caforio, Subhadeep Banik, Muhammed Fatih Balli

SNOW-V is a stream cipher proposed by Ekdahl et al. at IACR ToSC 2019(3) with an objective to be deployed as the encryption primitive in 5G systems. The stream cipher offers 256-bit security and is ready for deployment in the post-quantum era, in which as ...

The Area-Latency Symbiosis: Towards Improved Serial Encryption Circuits

Andrea Felice Caforio, Subhadeep Banik, Muhammed Fatih Balli

The bit-sliding paper of Jean et al. (CHES 2017) showed that the smallest-size circuit for SPN based block ciphers such as AES, SKINNY and PRESENT can be achieved via bit-serial implementations. Their technique decreases the bit size of the datapath and na ...

A Study of Persistent Fault Analysis

Andrea Felice Caforio, Subhadeep Banik

Persistent faults mark a new class of injections that perturb lookup tables within block ciphers with the overall goal of recovering the encryption key. Unlike earlier fault types persistent faults remain intact over many encryptions until the affected dev ...

Cryptanalysis of Plantlet

Subhadeep Banik, Khashayar Barooti

Plantlet is a lightweight stream cipher designed by Mikhalev, Armknecht and Muller in IACR ToSC 2017. It has a Grain-like structure with two state registers of size 40 and 61 bits. In spite of this, the cipher does not seem to lose in security against gene ...
