  • Side Channel Analysis Attacks on Stream Ciphers
    Side Channel Analysis Attacks on Stream Ciphers Daehyun Strobel 23.03.2009 Masterarbeit Ruhr-Universität Bochum Lehrstuhl Embedded Security Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christof Paar Betreuer: Dipl.-Ing. Markus Kasper Erklärung Ich versichere, dass ich die Arbeit ohne fremde Hilfe und ohne Benutzung anderer als der angegebenen Quellen angefertigt habe und dass die Arbeit in gleicher oder ähnlicher Form noch keiner anderen Prüfungsbehörde vorgelegen hat und von dieser als Teil einer Prüfungsleistung angenommen wurde. Alle Ausführungen, die wörtlich oder sinngemäß übernommen wurden, sind als solche gekennzeichnet. Bochum, 23.März 2009 Daehyun Strobel ii Abstract In this thesis, we present results from practical differential power analysis attacks on the stream ciphers Grain and Trivium. While most published works on practical side channel analysis describe attacks on block ciphers, this work is among the first ones giving report on practical results of power analysis attacks on stream ciphers. Power analyses of stream ciphers require different methods than the ones used in todays most popular attacks. While for the majority of block ciphers it is sufficient to attack the first or last round only, to analyze a stream cipher typically the information leakages of many rounds have to be considered. Furthermore the analysis of hardware implementations of stream ciphers based on feedback shift registers inevitably leads to methods combining algebraic attacks with methods from the field of side channel analysis. Instead of a direct recovery of key bits, only terms composed of several key bits and bits from the initialization vector can be recovered. An attacker first has to identify a sufficient set of accessible terms to finally solve for the key bits.

  • A Tutorial on the Implementation of Block Ciphers: Software and Hardware Applications
    A Tutorial on the Implementation of Block Ciphers: Software and Hardware Applications Howard M. Heys Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, Canada email: [email protected] Dec. 10, 2020 2 Abstract In this article, we discuss basic strategies that can be used to implement block ciphers in both software and hardware environments. As models for discussion, we use substitution- permutation networks which form the basis for many practical block cipher structures. For software implementation, we discuss approaches such as table lookups and bit-slicing, while for hardware implementation, we examine a broad range of architectures from high speed structures like pipelining, to compact structures based on serialization. To illustrate different implementation concepts, we present example data associated with specific methods and discuss sample designs that can be employed to realize different implementation strategies. We expect that the article will be of particular interest to researchers, scientists, and engineers that are new to the field of cryptographic implementation. 3 4 Terminology and Notation Abbreviation Definition SPN substitution-permutation network IoT Internet of Things AES Advanced Encryption Standard ECB electronic codebook mode CBC cipher block chaining mode CTR counter mode CMOS complementary metal-oxide semiconductor ASIC application-specific integrated circuit FPGA field-programmable gate array Table 1: Abbreviations Used in Article 5 6 Variable Definition B plaintext/ciphertext block size (also, size of cipher state) κ number

  • Hardware Implementation of Four Byte Per Clock RC4 Algorithm Rourab Paul, Amlan Chakrabarti, Senior Member, IEEE, and Ranjan Ghosh
    JOURNAL OF LATEX CLASS FILES, VOL. 6, NO. 1, JANUARY 2007 1 Hardware Implementation of four byte per clock RC4 algorithm Rourab Paul, Amlan Chakrabarti, Senior Member, IEEE, and Ranjan Ghosh, Abstract—In the field of cryptography till date the 2-byte in 1-clock is the best known RC4 hardware design [1], while 1-byte in 1-clock [2], and the 1-byte in 3 clocks [3][4] are the best known implementation. The design algorithm in[2] considers two consecutive bytes together and processes them in 2 clocks. The design [1] is a pipelining architecture of [2]. The design of 1-byte in 3-clocks is too much modular and clock hungry. In this paper considering the RC4 algorithm, as it is, a simpler RC4 hardware design providing higher throughput is proposed in which 6 different architecture has been proposed. In design 1, 1-byte is processed in 1-clock, design 2 is a dynamic KSA-PRGA architecture of Design 1. Design 3 can process 2 byte in a single clock, where as Design 4 is Dynamic KSA-PRGA architecture of Design 3. Design 5 and Design 6 are parallelization architecture design 2 and design 4 which can compute 4 byte in a single clock. The maturity in terms of throughput, power consumption and resource usage, has been achieved from design 1 to design 6. The RC4 encryption and decryption designs are respectively embedded on two FPGA boards as co-processor hardware, the communication between the two boards performed using Ethernet. Keywords—Computer Society, IEEEtran, journal, LATEX, paper, template.

  • An Archeology of Cryptography: Rewriting Plaintext, Encryption, and Ciphertext
    An Archeology of Cryptography: Rewriting Plaintext, Encryption, and Ciphertext By Isaac Quinn DuPont A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by Isaac Quinn DuPont 2017 ii An Archeology of Cryptography: Rewriting Plaintext, Encryption, and Ciphertext Isaac Quinn DuPont Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2017 Abstract Tis dissertation is an archeological study of cryptography. It questions the validity of thinking about cryptography in familiar, instrumentalist terms, and instead reveals the ways that cryptography can been understood as writing, media, and computation. In this dissertation, I ofer a critique of the prevailing views of cryptography by tracing a number of long overlooked themes in its history, including the development of artifcial languages, machine translation, media, code, notation, silence, and order. Using an archeological method, I detail historical conditions of possibility and the technical a priori of cryptography. Te conditions of possibility are explored in three parts, where I rhetorically rewrite the conventional terms of art, namely, plaintext, encryption, and ciphertext. I argue that plaintext has historically been understood as kind of inscription or form of writing, and has been associated with the development of artifcial languages, and used to analyze and investigate the natural world. I argue that the technical a priori of plaintext, encryption, and ciphertext is constitutive of the syntactic iii and semantic properties detailed in Nelson Goodman’s theory of notation, as described in his Languages of Art. I argue that encryption (and its reverse, decryption) are deterministic modes of transcription, which have historically been thought of as the medium between plaintext and ciphertext.
