Algebraic Cryptanalysis of Deterministic Symmetric Encryption

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 ...

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 ...

Tornado Attack on RC4 with Applications to WEP & WPA

Serge Vaudenay, Martin Vuagnoux, Pouyan Sepehrdad, Petr Susil

In this paper, we construct several tools for building and manipulating pools of biases in the analysis of RC4. We report extremely fast and optimized active and passive attacks against IEEE 802.11 wireless communication protocol WEP and a key recovery 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Statistical and Algebraic Cryptanalysis of Lightweight and Ultra-Lightweight Symmetric Primitives

Pouyan Sepehrdad

Symmetric cryptographic primitives such as block and stream ciphers are the building blocks in many cryptographic protocols. Having such blocks which provide provable security against various types of attacks is often hard. On the other hand, if possible, ...

Synthetic Linear Analysis with Applications to CubeHash and Rabbit

Serge Vaudenay, Willi Meier, Yi Lu

In linear cryptanalysis, it has been considered most important and difficult to analyze the bias and find a large bias. The demonstration of a large bias will usually imply that the target crypto-system is not strong. Regarding the bias analysis, researche ...

Resistance Against Iterated Attacks by Decorrelation Revisited

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 ideal random cipher

C^*

based on all bits. In EUROCRYPT '99, ...

Synthetic Linear Analysis: Improved Attacks on CubeHash and Rabbit

Serge Vaudenay, Willi Meier, Yi Lu

It has been considered most important and difficult to analyze the bias and find a large bias regarding the security of crypto-systems, since the invention of linear cryptanalysis. The demonstration of a large bias will usually imply that the target crypto ...
