Improved Cryptanalysis of the Reduced Grøstl Compression Function, ECHO Permutation and AES Block Cipher
Improved Cryptanalysis of the Reduced Grøstl Compression Function, ECHO Permutation and AES Block Cipher Florian Mendel1, Thomas Peyrin2, Christian Rechberger1, and Martin Schl¨affer1 1 IAIK, Graz University of Technology, Austria 2 Ingenico, France [email protected],[email protected] Abstract. In this paper, we propose two new ways to mount attacks on the SHA-3 candidates Grøstl, and ECHO, and apply these attacks also to the AES. Our results improve upon and extend the rebound attack. Using the new techniques, we are able to extend the number of rounds in which available degrees of freedom can be used. As a result, we present the first attack on 7 rounds for the Grøstl-256 output transformation3 and improve the semi-free-start collision attack on 6 rounds. Further, we present an improved known-key distinguisher for 7 rounds of the AES block cipher and the internal permutation used in ECHO. Keywords: hash function, block cipher, cryptanalysis, semi-free-start collision, known-key distinguisher 1 Introduction Recently, a new wave of hash function proposals appeared, following a call for submissions to the SHA-3 contest organized by NIST [26]. In order to analyze these proposals, the toolbox which is at the cryptanalysts' disposal needs to be extended. Meet-in-the-middle and differential attacks are commonly used. A recent extension of differential cryptanalysis to hash functions is the rebound attack [22] originally applied to reduced (7.5 rounds) Whirlpool (standardized since 2000 by ISO/IEC 10118-3:2004) and a reduced version (6 rounds) of the SHA-3 candidate Grøstl-256 [14], which both have 10 rounds in total. -

Cryptanalysis of Feistel Networks with Secret Round Functions ? Alex Biryukov1, Gaëtan Leurent2, and Léo Perrin3 1 [email protected], University of Luxembourg 2 [email protected], Inria, France 3 [email protected], SnT,University of Luxembourg Abstract. Generic distinguishers against Feistel Network with up to 5 rounds exist in the regular setting and up to 6 rounds in a multi-key setting. We present new cryptanalyses against Feistel Networks with 5, 6 and 7 rounds which are not simply distinguishers but actually recover completely the unknown Feistel functions. When an exclusive-or is used to combine the output of the round function with the other branch, we use the so-called yoyo game which we improved using a heuristic based on particular cycle structures. -
Improved Rectangle Attacks on SKINNY and CRAFT
Improved Rectangle Attacks on SKINNY and CRAFT Hosein Hadipour1, Nasour Bagheri2 and Ling Song3( ) 1 Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran, [email protected] 2 Electrical Engineering Department, Shahid Rajaee Teacher Training University, Tehran, Iran, [email protected] 3 Jinan University, Guangzhou, China [email protected] Abstract. The boomerang and rectangle attacks are adaptions of differential crypt- analysis that regard the target cipher E as a composition of two sub-ciphers, i.e., 2 2 E = E1 ◦ E0, to construct a distinguisher for E with probability p q by concatenat- ing two short differential trails for E0 and E1 with probability p and q respectively. According to the previous research, the dependency between these two differential characteristics has a great impact on the probability of boomerang and rectangle distinguishers. Dunkelman et al. proposed the sandwich attack to formalise such dependency that regards E as three parts, i.e., E = E1 ◦ Em ◦ E0, where Em contains the dependency between two differential trails, satisfying some differential propagation with probability r. Accordingly, the entire probability is p2q2r. Recently, Song et al. have proposed a general framework to identify the actual boundaries of Em and systematically evaluate the probability of Em with any number of rounds, and applied their method to accurately evaluate the probabilities of the best SKINNY’s boomerang distinguishers. In this paper, using a more advanced method to search for boomerang distinguishers, we show that the best previous boomerang distinguishers for SKINNY can be significantly improved in terms of probability and number of rounds. -
Key-Dependent Approximations in Cryptanalysis. an Application of Multiple Z4 and Non-Linear Approximations
KEY-DEPENDENT APPROXIMATIONS IN CRYPTANALYSIS. AN APPLICATION OF MULTIPLE Z4 AND NON-LINEAR APPROXIMATIONS. FX Standaert, G Rouvroy, G Piret, JJ Quisquater, JD Legat Universite Catholique de Louvain, UCL Crypto Group, Place du Levant, 3, 1348 Louvain-la-Neuve, standaert,rouvroy,piret,quisquater,[email protected] Linear cryptanalysis is a powerful cryptanalytic technique that makes use of a linear approximation over some rounds of a cipher, combined with one (or two) round(s) of key guess. This key guess is usually performed by a partial decryp- tion over every possible key. In this paper, we investigate a particular class of non-linear boolean functions that allows to mount key-dependent approximations of s-boxes. Replacing the classical key guess by these key-dependent approxima- tions allows to quickly distinguish a set of keys including the correct one. By combining different relations, we can make up a system of equations whose solu- tion is the correct key. The resulting attack allows larger flexibility and improves the success rate in some contexts. We apply it to the block cipher Q. In parallel, we propose a chosen-plaintext attack against Q that reduces the required number of plaintext-ciphertext pairs from 297 to 287. 1. INTRODUCTION In its basic version, linear cryptanalysis is a known-plaintext attack that uses a linear relation between input-bits, output-bits and key-bits of an encryption algorithm that holds with a certain probability. If enough plaintext-ciphertext pairs are provided, this approximation can be used to assign probabilities to the possible keys and to locate the most probable one. -

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. -
Integral Cryptanalysis on Full MISTY1⋆
Integral Cryptanalysis on Full MISTY1? Yosuke Todo NTT Secure Platform Laboratories, Tokyo, Japan [email protected] Abstract. MISTY1 is a block cipher designed by Matsui in 1997. It was well evaluated and standardized by projects, such as CRYPTREC, ISO/IEC, and NESSIE. In this paper, we propose a key recovery attack on the full MISTY1, i.e., we show that 8-round MISTY1 with 5 FL layers does not have 128-bit security. Many attacks against MISTY1 have been proposed, but there is no attack against the full MISTY1. Therefore, our attack is the first cryptanalysis against the full MISTY1. We construct a new integral characteristic by using the propagation characteristic of the division property, which was proposed in 2015. We first improve the division property by optimizing a public S-box and then construct a 6-round integral characteristic on MISTY1. Finally, we recover the secret key of the full MISTY1 with 263:58 chosen plaintexts and 2121 time complexity. Moreover, if we can use 263:994 chosen plaintexts, the time complexity for our attack is reduced to 2107:9. Note that our cryptanalysis is a theoretical attack. Therefore, the practical use of MISTY1 will not be affected by our attack. Keywords: MISTY1, Integral attack, Division property 1 Introduction MISTY [Mat97] is a block cipher designed by Matsui in 1997 and is based on the theory of provable security [Nyb94,NK95] against differential attack [BS90] and linear attack [Mat93]. MISTY has a recursive structure, and the component function has a unique structure, the so-called MISTY structure [Mat96]. -

Linear Cryptanalysis: Key Schedules and Tweakable Block Ciphers
Linear Cryptanalysis: Key Schedules and Tweakable Block Ciphers Thorsten Kranz, Gregor Leander and Friedrich Wiemer Horst Görtz Institute for IT Security, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany {thorsten.kranz,gregor.leander,friedrich.wiemer}@rub.de Abstract. This paper serves as a systematization of knowledge of linear cryptanalysis and provides novel insights in the areas of key schedule design and tweakable block ciphers. We examine in a step by step manner the linear hull theorem in a general and consistent setting. Based on this, we study the influence of the choice of the key scheduling on linear cryptanalysis, a – notoriously difficult – but important subject. Moreover, we investigate how tweakable block ciphers can be analyzed with respect to linear cryptanalysis, a topic that surprisingly has not been scrutinized until now. Keywords: Linear Cryptanalysis · Key Schedule · Hypothesis of Independent Round Keys · Tweakable Block Cipher 1 Introduction Block ciphers are among the most important cryptographic primitives. Besides being used for encrypting the major fraction of our sensible data, they are important building blocks in many cryptographic constructions and protocols. Clearly, the security of any concrete block cipher can never be strictly proven, usually not even be reduced to a mathematical problem, i. e. be provable in the sense of provable cryptography. However, the concrete security of well-known ciphers, in particular the AES and its predecessor DES, is very well studied and probably much better scrutinized than many of the mathematical problems on which provable secure schemes are based on. This been said, there is a clear lack of understanding when it comes to the key schedule part of block ciphers. -
Lecture Note 8 ATTACKS on CRYPTOSYSTEMS I Sourav Mukhopadhyay
Lecture Note 8 ATTACKS ON CRYPTOSYSTEMS I Sourav Mukhopadhyay Cryptography and Network Security - MA61027 Attacks on Cryptosystems • Up to this point, we have mainly seen how ciphers are implemented. • We have seen how symmetric ciphers such as DES and AES use the idea of substitution and permutation to provide security and also how asymmetric systems such as RSA and Diffie Hellman use other methods. • What we haven’t really looked at are attacks on cryptographic systems. Cryptography and Network Security - MA61027 (Sourav Mukhopadhyay, IIT-KGP, 2010) 1 • An understanding of certain attacks will help you to understand the reasons behind the structure of certain algorithms (such as Rijndael) as they are designed to thwart known attacks. • Although we are not going to exhaust all possible avenues of attack, we will get an idea of how cryptanalysts go about attacking ciphers. Cryptography and Network Security - MA61027 (Sourav Mukhopadhyay, IIT-KGP, 2010) 2 • This section is really split up into two classes of attack: Cryptanalytic attacks and Implementation attacks. • The former tries to attack mathematical weaknesses in the algorithms whereas the latter tries to attack the specific implementation of the cipher (such as a smartcard system). • The following attacks can refer to either of the two classes (all forms of attack assume the attacker knows the encryption algorithm): Cryptography and Network Security - MA61027 (Sourav Mukhopadhyay, IIT-KGP, 2010) 3 – Ciphertext-only attack: In this attack the attacker knows only the ciphertext to be decoded. The attacker will try to find the key or decrypt one or more pieces of ciphertext (only relatively weak algorithms fail to withstand a ciphertext-only attack). -
Analysis of Selected Block Cipher Modes for Authenticated Encryption
Analysis of Selected Block Cipher Modes for Authenticated Encryption by Hassan Musallam Ahmed Qahur Al Mahri Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Systems and Networks) (Sultan Qaboos University) – 2007 Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Science and Engineering Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2018 Keywords Authenticated encryption, AE, AEAD, ++AE, AEZ, block cipher, CAESAR, confidentiality, COPA, differential fault analysis, differential power analysis, ElmD, fault attack, forgery attack, integrity assurance, leakage resilience, modes of op- eration, OCB, OTR, SHELL, side channel attack, statistical fault analysis, sym- metric encryption, tweakable block cipher, XE, XEX. i ii Abstract Cryptography assures information security through different functionalities, es- pecially confidentiality and integrity assurance. According to Menezes et al. [1], confidentiality means the process of assuring that no one could interpret infor- mation, except authorised parties, while data integrity is an assurance that any unauthorised alterations to a message content will be detected. One possible ap- proach to ensure confidentiality and data integrity is to use two different schemes where one scheme provides confidentiality and the other provides integrity as- surance. A more compact approach is to use schemes, called Authenticated En- cryption (AE) schemes, that simultaneously provide confidentiality and integrity assurance for a message. AE can be constructed using different mechanisms, and the most common construction is to use block cipher modes, which is our focus in this thesis. AE schemes have been used in a wide range of applications, and defined by standardisation organizations. The National Institute of Standards and Technol- ogy (NIST) recommended two AE block cipher modes CCM [2] and GCM [3]. -
Constructing Low-Weight Dth-Order Correlation-Immune Boolean Functions Through the Fourier-Hadamard Transform Claude Carlet and Xi Chen*
1 Constructing low-weight dth-order correlation-immune Boolean functions through the Fourier-Hadamard transform Claude Carlet and Xi Chen* Abstract The correlation immunity of Boolean functions is a property related to cryptography, to error correcting codes, to orthogonal arrays (in combinatorics, which was also a domain of interest of S. Golomb) and in a slightly looser way to sequences. Correlation-immune Boolean functions (in short, CI functions) have the property of keeping the same output distribution when some input variables are fixed. They have been widely used as combiners in stream ciphers to allow resistance to the Siegenthaler correlation attack. Very recently, a new use of CI functions has appeared in the framework of side channel attacks (SCA). To reduce the cost overhead of counter-measures to SCA, CI functions need to have low Hamming weights. This actually poses new challenges since the known constructions which are based on properties of the Walsh-Hadamard transform, do not allow to build unbalanced CI functions. In this paper, we propose constructions of low-weight dth-order CI functions based on the Fourier- Hadamard transform, while the known constructions of resilient functions are based on the Walsh-Hadamard transform. We first prove a simple but powerful result, which makes that one only need to consider the case where d is odd in further research. Then we investigate how constructing low Hamming weight CI functions through the Fourier-Hadamard transform (which behaves well with respect to the multiplication of Boolean functions). We use the characterization of CI functions by the Fourier-Hadamard transform and introduce a related general construction of CI functions by multiplication.
