  • Cryptanalysis of Substitution-Permutation Networks Using Key-Dependent Degeneracy*
    Cryptanalysis of Substitution-Permutation Networks Using Key-Dependent Degeneracy* Howard M. Heys Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science Memorial University of Newfoundland St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada A1B 3X5 Stafford E.Tavares Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada K7L 3N6 * This research was supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and the Telecommunications Research Institute of Ontario and was completed during the first author’s doctoral studies at Queen’s University. Cryptanalysis of Substitution-Permutation Networks Using Key-Dependent Degeneracy Keywords Ð Cryptanalysis, Substitution-Permutation Network, S-box Abstract Ð This paper presents a novel cryptanalysis of Substitution- Permutation Networks using a chosen plaintext approach. The attack is based on the highly probable occurrence of key-dependent degeneracies within the network and is applicable regardless of the method of S-box keying. It is shown that a large number of rounds are required before a network is re- sistant to the attack. Experimental results have found 64-bit networks to be cryptanalyzable for as many as 8 to 12 rounds depending on the S-box properties. ¡ . Introduction The concept of Substitution-Permutation Networks (SPNs) for use in block cryp- tosystem design originates from the “confusion” and “diffusion” principles in- troduced by Shannon [1]. The SPN architecture considered in this paper was first suggested by Feistel [2] and consists of rounds of non-linear substitutions (S-boxes) connected by bit permutations. Such a cryptosystem structure, referred 1 to as LUCIFER1 by Feistel, is a simple, efficient implementation of Shannon’s concepts.

  • What's Rssing?
    Review of Business Information Systems – Third Quarter 2007 Volume 11, Number 3 More With Less Using RSS Annette C. Easton, ([email protected]), San Diego State University George Easton, ([email protected]), San Diego State University ABSTRACT Today, many receive information via RSS, an efficient delivery and aggregation technology that feeds user-specific web content to our computers. For an individual, RSS is like having an assistant available to gather the information you want to see from a variety of sources. For businesses, RSS can be an effective mechanism to reach customers and provide them with the information they have asked for. While there is tremendous growth in the usage of RSS, surprisingly, many of us know little about what it is. INTRODUCTION phemeralization is a term coined by Buckminster Fuller that refers to the ability to accomplish more with less using increasingly efficient methods and technologies (Heylighen, 1998). An evolving X technology that illustrates the essence of ephemeralization is RSS. Just as newspaper columns can be syndicated and published in other newspapers, website content can be syndicated and published on other websites. “Really Simple Syndication,” “Resource Description Framework (RDF) Site Summary,” and “Rich Site Summary,” are all terms that have shared the acronym RSS and have referred to technology that facilitates the sharing, or syndication, of website content by subscription. RSS, more specifically RSS feeds, reduce the effort and time required to access web content by allowing users to subscribe to specific web sources that generate or that link to content they desire. The subscribers use personalized start pages or RSS readers to display summaries of the content which are updated automatically as new information becomes available.

Preface The security of iterated cryptosystems and hash functions has been an active research area for many years. The best known and most widely used function of this type is the Data Encryption Standard (DES). It was developed at IBM and adopted by the National Bureau of Standards in the mid 70’s, and has successfully withstood all the attacks published so far in the open literature. Since the introduction of DES, many other iterated cryptosystems were developed, but their design and analysis were based on ad-hoc heuristic arguments, with no theoretical justification. In this book, we develop a new type of cryptanalytic attack which can be successfully applied to many iterated cryptosystems and hash functions. It is primarily a chosen plaintext attack but under certain circumstances, it can also be applied as a known plaintext attack. We call it “differen- tial cryptanalysis”, since it analyzes the evolution of differences when two related plaintexts are encrypted under the same key. Differential cryptanalysis is the first published attack which is capable of breaking the full 16-round DES in less than 255 complexity. The data analysis phase computes the key by analyzing about 236 ciphertexts in 237 time.
