A QUANTITATIVE STUDY OF ADVANCED ENCRYPTION STANDARD PERFORMANCE AS IT RELATES TO CRYPTOGRAPHIC ATTACK FEASIBILITY A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Computer Science By Daniel Stephen Hawthorne Colorado Technical University December, 2018 Committee Dr. Richard Livingood, Ph.D., Chair Dr. Kelly Hughes, DCS, Committee Member Dr. James O. Webb, Ph.D., Committee Member December 17, 2018 © Daniel Stephen Hawthorne, 2018 1 Abstract The advanced encryption standard (AES) is the premier symmetric key cryptosystem in use today. Given its prevalence, the security provided by AES is of utmost importance. Technology is advancing at an incredible rate, in both capability and popularity, much faster than its rate of advancement in the late 1990s when AES was selected as the replacement standard for DES. Although the literature surrounding AES is robust, most studies fall into either theoretical or practical yet infeasible. -
KLEIN: a New Family of Lightweight Block Ciphers
KLEIN: A New Family of Lightweight Block Ciphers Zheng Gong1, Svetla Nikova1;2 and Yee Wei Law3 1Faculty of EWI, University of Twente, The Netherlands fz.gong, [email protected] 2 Dept. ESAT/SCD-COSIC, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium 3 Department of EEE, The University of Melbourne, Australia [email protected] Abstract Resource-efficient cryptographic primitives become fundamental for realizing both security and efficiency in embedded systems like RFID tags and sensor nodes. Among those primitives, lightweight block cipher plays a major role as a building block for security protocols. In this paper, we describe a new family of lightweight block ciphers named KLEIN, which is designed for resource-constrained devices such as wireless sensors and RFID tags. Compared to the related proposals, KLEIN has ad- vantage in the software performance on legacy sensor platforms, while its hardware implementation can be compact as well. Key words. Block cipher, Wireless sensor network, Low-resource implementation. 1 Introduction With the development of wireless communication and embedded systems, we become increasingly de- pendent on the so called pervasive computing; examples are smart cards, RFID tags, and sensor nodes that are used for public transport, pay TV systems, smart electricity meters, anti-counterfeiting, etc. Among those applications, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have attracted more and more attention since their promising applications, such as environment monitoring, military scouting and healthcare. On resource-limited devices the choice of security algorithms should be very careful by consideration of the implementation costs. Symmetric-key algorithms, especially block ciphers, still play an important role for the security of the embedded systems. -

State of the Art in Lightweight Symmetric Cryptography
State of the Art in Lightweight Symmetric Cryptography Alex Biryukov1 and Léo Perrin2 1 SnT, CSC, University of Luxembourg, [email protected] 2 SnT, University of Luxembourg, [email protected] Abstract. Lightweight cryptography has been one of the “hot topics” in symmetric cryptography in the recent years. A huge number of lightweight algorithms have been published, standardized and/or used in commercial products. In this paper, we discuss the different implementation constraints that a “lightweight” algorithm is usually designed to satisfy. We also present an extensive survey of all lightweight symmetric primitives we are aware of. It covers designs from the academic community, from government agencies and proprietary algorithms which were reverse-engineered or leaked. Relevant national (nist...) and international (iso/iec...) standards are listed. We then discuss some trends we identified in the design of lightweight algorithms, namely the designers’ preference for arx-based and bitsliced-S-Box-based designs and simple key schedules. Finally, we argue that lightweight cryptography is too large a field and that it should be split into two related but distinct areas: ultra-lightweight and IoT cryptography. The former deals only with the smallest of devices for which a lower security level may be justified by the very harsh design constraints. The latter corresponds to low-power embedded processors for which the Aes and modern hash function are costly but which have to provide a high level security due to their greater connectivity.

DES and Differential Power Analysis, the Duplication Method
DES and Differential Power Analysis The “Duplication” Method? Louis Goubin, Jacques Patarin Bull SmartCards and Terminals 68, route de Versailles - BP45 78431 Louveciennes Cedex - France {L.Goubin, J.Patarin}@frlv.bull.fr Abstract. Paul Kocher recently developped attacks based on the elec- tric consumption of chips that perform cryptographic computations. A- mong those attacks, the “Differential Power Analysis” (DPA) is probably one of the most impressive and most difficult to avoid. In this paper, we present several ideas to resist this type of attack, and in particular we develop one of them which leads, interestingly, to rather precise mathematical analysis. Thus we show that it is possible to build an implementation that is provably DPA-resistant, in a “local” and re- stricted way (i.e. when – given a chip with a fixed key – the attacker only tries to detect predictable local deviations in the differentials of mean curves). We also briefly discuss some more general attacks, that are sometimes efficient whereas the “original” DPA fails. Many measures of consumption have been done on real chips to test the ideas presented in this paper, and some of the obtained curves are printed here. Note: An extended version of this paper can be obtained from the authors. 1 Introduction This paper is about a way of securing a cryptographic algorithm that makes use of a secret key. More precisely, the goal consists in building an implementation of the algorithm that is not vulnerable to a certain type of physical attacks – so-called “Differential Power Analysis”. These DPA attacks belong to a general family of attacks that look for infor- mation about the secret key by studying the electric consumption of the elec- tronic device during the execution of the computation. -

Fast Correlation Attacks: Methods and Countermeasures
Fast Correlation Attacks: Methods and Countermeasures Willi Meier FHNW, Switzerland Abstract. Fast correlation attacks have considerably evolved since their first appearance. They have lead to new design criteria of stream ciphers, and have found applications in other areas of communications and cryp- tography. In this paper, a review of the development of fast correlation attacks and their implications on the design of stream ciphers over the past two decades is given. Keywords: stream cipher, cryptanalysis, correlation attack. 1 Introduction In recent years, much effort has been put into a better understanding of the design and security of stream ciphers. Stream ciphers have been designed to be efficient either in constrained hardware or to have high efficiency in software. A synchronous stream cipher generates a pseudorandom sequence, the keystream, by a finite state machine whose initial state is determined as a function of the secret key and a public variable, the initialization vector. In an additive stream cipher, the ciphertext is obtained by bitwise addition of the keystream to the plaintext. We focus here on stream ciphers that are designed using simple devices like linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs). Such designs have been the main tar- get of correlation attacks. LFSRs are easy to implement and run efficiently in hardware. However such devices produce predictable output, and cannot be used directly for cryptographic applications. A common method aiming at destroy- ing the predictability of the output of such devices is to use their output as input of suitably designed non-linear functions that produce the keystream. As the attacks to be described later show, care has to be taken in the choice of these functions. -
