  • Investigation of Some Cryptographic Properties of the 8X8 S-Boxes Created by Quasigroups
    Computer Science Journal of Moldova, vol.28, no.3(84), 2020 Investigation of Some Cryptographic Properties of the 8x8 S-boxes Created by Quasigroups Aleksandra Mileva, Aleksandra Stojanova, Duˇsan Bikov, Yunqing Xu Abstract We investigate several cryptographic properties in 8-bit S- boxes obtained by quasigroups of order 4 and 16 with several different algebraic constructions. Additionally, we offer a new construction of N-bit S-boxes by using different number of two layers – the layer of bijectional quasigroup string transformations, and the layer of modular addition with N-bit constants. The best produced 8-bit S-boxes so far are regular and have algebraic degree 7, nonlinearity 98 (linearity 60), differential uniformity 8, and autocorrelation 88. Additionally we obtained 8-bit S-boxes with nonlinearity 100 (linearity 56), differential uniformity 10, autocorrelation 88, and minimal algebraic degree 6. Relatively small set of performed experiments compared with the extremly large set of possible experiments suggests that these results can be improved in the future. Keywords: 8-bit S-boxes, nonlinearity, differential unifor- mity, autocorrelation. MSC 2010: 20N05, 94A60. 1 Introduction The main building blocks for obtaining confusion in all modern block ciphers are so called substitution boxes, or S-boxes. Usually, they work with much less data (for example, 4 or 8 bits) than the block size, so they need to be highly nonlinear. Two of the most successful attacks against modern block ciphers are linear cryptanalysis (introduced by ©2020 by CSJM; A. Mileva, A. Stojanova, D. Bikov, Y.

Geetha2, Gulshan Kumar3 and Hye-Jim Kim4 1,3School of Computer Science and Engineering, Lovely Professional University, Punjab, India 2Division of Research and Development, Lovely Professional University, Punjab, India 4Business Administration Research Institute, Sungshin W. University, 2 Bomun-ro 34da gil, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea Abstract Cryptography has always been a core component of security domain. Different security services such as confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication, non-repudiation and access control, are provided by a number of cryptographic algorithms including block ciphers, stream ciphers and hash functions. Though the algorithms are public and cryptographic strength depends on the usage of the keys, the ciphertext analysis using different functions and operations used in the algorithms can lead to the path of revealing a key completely or partially. It is hard to find any survey till date which identifies different operations and functions used in cryptography. In this paper, we have categorized our survey of cryptographic functions and operations in the algorithms in three categories: block ciphers, stream ciphers and cryptanalysis attacks which are executable in different parts of the algorithms. This survey will help the budding researchers in the society of crypto for identifying different operations and functions in cryptographic algorithms. Keywords: cryptography; block; stream; cipher; plaintext; ciphertext; functions; research problems 1. Introduction Cryptography [1] in the previous time was analogous to encryption where the main task was to convert the readable message to an unreadable format.

  • Impossible Differential Cryptanalysis of the Lightweight Block Ciphers TEA, XTEA and HIGHT
    Impossible Differential Cryptanalysis of the Lightweight Block Ciphers TEA, XTEA and HIGHT Jiazhe Chen1;2;3?, Meiqin Wang1;2;3??, and Bart Preneel2;3 1 Key Laboratory of Cryptologic Technology and Information Security, Ministry of Education, School of Mathematics, Shandong University, Jinan 250100, China 2 Department of Electrical Engineering ESAT/SCD-COSIC, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Kasteelpark Arenberg 10, B-3001 Heverlee, Belgium 3 Interdisciplinary Institute for BroadBand Technology (IBBT), Belgium [email protected] Abstract. TEA, XTEA and HIGHT are lightweight block ciphers with 64-bit block sizes and 128-bit keys. The round functions of the three ci- phers are based on the simple operations XOR, modular addition and shift/rotation. TEA and XTEA are Feistel ciphers with 64 rounds de- signed by Needham and Wheeler, where XTEA is a successor of TEA, which was proposed by the same authors as an enhanced version of TEA. HIGHT, which is designed by Hong et al., is a generalized Feistel cipher with 32 rounds. These block ciphers are simple and easy to implement but their diffusion is slow, which allows us to find some impossible prop- erties. This paper proposes a method to identify the impossible differentials for TEA and XTEA by using the weak diffusion, where the impossible differential comes from a bit contradiction. Our method finds a 14-round impossible differential of XTEA and a 13-round impossible differential of TEA, which result in impossible differential attacks on 23-round XTEA and 17-round TEA, respectively. These attacks significantly improve the previous impossible differential attacks on 14-round XTEA and 11-round TEA given by Moon et al.

  • New Cryptanalysis of Block Ciphers with Low Algebraic Degree
    New Cryptanalysis of Block Ciphers with Low Algebraic Degree Bing Sun1,LongjiangQu1,andChaoLi1,2 1 Department of Mathematics and System Science, Science College of National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, China, 410073 2 State Key Laboratory of Information Security, Graduate University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, China, 10039 happy [email protected], ljqu [email protected] Abstract. Improved interpolation attack and new integral attack are proposed in this paper, and they can be applied to block ciphers using round functions with low algebraic degree. In the new attacks, we can determine not only the degree of the polynomial, but also coefficients of some special terms. Thus instead of guessing the round keys one by one, we can get the round keys by solving some algebraic equations over finite field. The new methods are applied to PURE block cipher successfully. The improved interpolation attacks can recover the first round key of 8-round PURE in less than a second; r-round PURE with r ≤ 21 is breakable with about 3r−2 chosen plaintexts and the time complexity is 3r−2 encryptions; 22-round PURE is breakable with both data and time complexities being about 3 × 320. The new integral attacks can break PURE with rounds up to 21 with 232 encryptions and 22-round with 3 × 232 encryptions. This means that PURE with up to 22 rounds is breakable on a personal computer. Keywords: block cipher, Feistel cipher, interpolation attack, integral attack. 1 Introduction For some ciphers, the round function can be described either by a low degree polynomial or by a quotient of two low degree polynomials over finite field with characteristic 2.

  • Cryptanalysis of Full Sprout ∗
    Cryptanalysis of Full Sprout ∗ Virginie Lallemand and Mar´ıaNaya-Plasencia Inria, France Abstract. A new method for reducing the internal state size of stream cipher registers has been proposed in FSE 2015, allowing to reduce the area in hardware implementations. Along with it, an instantiated pro- posal of a cipher was also proposed: Sprout. In this paper, we analyze the security of Sprout, and we propose an attack that recovers the whole key more than 210 times faster than exhaustive search and has very low data complexity. The attack can be seen as a divide-and-conquer evolved technique, that exploits the non-linear influence of the key bits on the update function. We have implemented the attack on a toy version of Sprout, that conserves the main properties exploited in the attack. The attack completely matches the expected complexities predicted by our theoretical cryptanalysis, which proves its validity. We believe that our attack shows that a more careful analysis should be done in order to instantiate the proposed design method. Keywords: Stream cipher, Cryptanalysis, Lightweight, Sprout. 1 Introduction The need of low-cost cryptosystems for several emerging applications like RFID tags and sensor networks has drawn considerable attention to the area of lightweight primitives over the last years. Indeed, those new applications have very limited resources and necessitate specific algorithms that ensure a perfect balance be- tween security, power consumption, area size and memory needed. The strong demand from the community (for instance, [5]) and from the industry has led to the design of an enormous amount of promising such primitives, with differ- ent implementation features.

  • Public-Key Cryptanalysis
    To appear in Recent Trends in Cryptography, I. Luengo (Ed.), Contemporary Mathematics series, AMS-RSME, 2008. Public-Key Cryptanalysis Phong Q. Nguyen Abstract. In 1976, Diffie and Hellman introduced the revolutionary concept of public-key cryptography, also known as asymmetric cryptography. Today, asymmetric cryptography is routinely used to secure the Internet. The most famous and most widely used asymmetric cryptosystem is RSA, invented by Rivest, Shamir and Adleman. Surprisingly, there are very few alternatives known, and most of them are also based on number theory. How secure are those asymmetric cryptosystems? Can we attack them in certain settings? Should we implement RSA the way it was originally described thirty years ago? Those are typical questions that cryptanalysts have tried to answer since the appearance of public-key cryptography. In these notes, we present the main techniques and principles used in public-key cryptanalysis, with a special emphasis on attacks based on lattice basis reduction, and more gen- erally, on algorithmic geometry of numbers. To simplify our exposition, we focus on the two most famous asymmetric cryptosystems: RSA and Elgamal. Cryptanalysis has played a crucial r^olein the way cryptosystems are now im- plemented, and in the development of modern security notions. Interestingly, it also introduced in cryptology several mathematical objects which have since proved very useful in cryptographic design. This is for instance the case of Euclidean lattices, elliptic curves and pairings. 1. Introduction Public-key cryptography, also called asymmetric cryptography, was invented by Diffie and Hellman [DH76] more than thirty years ago. In public-key cryptography, a user U has a pair of related keys (pk; sk): the key pk is public and should be available to everyone, while the key sk must be kept secret by U.
