On the Use of Continued Fractions for Stream Ciphers
On the use of continued fractions for stream ciphers Amadou Moctar Kane Département de Mathématiques et de Statistiques, Université Laval, Pavillon Alexandre-Vachon, 1045 av. de la Médecine, Québec G1V 0A6 Canada. [email protected] May 25, 2013 Abstract In this paper, we present a new approach to stream ciphers. This method draws its strength from public key algorithms such as RSA and the development in continued fractions of certain irrational numbers to produce a pseudo-random stream. Although the encryption scheme proposed in this paper is based on a hard mathematical problem, its use is fast. Keywords: continued fractions, cryptography, pseudo-random, symmetric-key encryption, stream cipher. 1 Introduction The one time pad is presently known as one of the simplest and fastest encryption methods. In binary data, applying a one time pad algorithm consists of combining the pad and the plain text with XOR. This requires the use of a key size equal to the size of the plain text, which unfortunately is very difficult to implement. If a deterministic program is used to generate the keystream, then the system will be called stream cipher instead of one time pad. Stream ciphers use a great deal of pseudo- random generators such as the Linear Feedback Shift Registers (LFSR); although cryptographically weak [37], the LFSRs present some advantages like the fast time of execution. There are also generators based on Non-Linear transitions, examples included the Non-Linear Feedback Shift Register NLFSR and the Feedback Shift with Carry Register FCSR. Such generators appear to be more secure than those based on LFSR. -

It is suitable for using in the cases of massive data transfer or resource constraints, and has always been a hot and central research topic in cryptography. With the rapid development of network and communication technology, cipher algorithms play more and more crucial role in information security. Simultaneously, the application environment of cipher algorithms is in- creasingly complex, which challenges the existing cipher algorithms and calls for novel suitable designs. To accommodate new strict requirements and provide systematic scientific basis for future designs, this paper reviews the development history of stream ciphers, classifies and summarizes the design principles of typical stream ciphers in groups, briefly discusses the advantages and weakness of various stream ciphers in terms of security and implementation. Finally, it tries to foresee the prospective design directions of stream ciphers.

CS 4005-705-01 Cryptography I Prof
CS 4005-705-01 Cryptography I Prof. Alan Kaminsky Graduate Project: Team: “The Number Crunchers” Members: Sharif Hdairis Andrew Hoffman Nelson Powell Introduction Cryptography has progressed significantly from the days of substitution and affine ciphers, to the modern block and stream ciphers based on high order mathematics. This course provides an introduction to the fundamentals of cryptography as it applies to the field of security via the examination of both cryptography and cryptanalysis. This project focuses an empirical investigation on the statistical attributes of stream ciphers, specifically using the published Rabbit Stream Cipher with respect to the randomness of the key stream. The Rabbit Cipher algorithm is a stream cipher utilizing a 128-bit secret key with a 64- bit Initialization Vector (IV) [1][2]. The Rabbit Cipher efficiently encrypts 128-bits per iteration of the algorithm in a synchronous manner to provide an effective ciphered bit stream. The cipher was implemented using the Java language with the intent to utilize the Parallel Java Library [3] as provided by Dr. Alan Kaminsky. Using Object Oriented Design (OOD), the components of the cipher were abstracted in an effort to maximize the utility of fundamental components as well as provide for a possible context based encryption environment. The fundamental components were validated against test sets[2][4] to ensure functional compliance. This statistical analysis test suite TestU01 was used to determine the probability of randomness in cipher’s key stream. Since the Rabbit cipher uses four iterations to mix the key followed by four iterations to mix the IV, the analysis examines the effects on randomness within the keystream with respect to the number of initialization rounds. -
Algebraic Analysis of Trivium-Like Ciphers
Algebraic analysis of Trivium-like ciphers Sui-Guan Teo1;2, Kenneth Koon-Ho Wong1;2, Harry Bartlett1;2, Leonie Simpson1;2, and Ed Dawson1 1 Institute for Future Environments, Queensland University of Technology [email protected], fkk.wong, h.bartlett, lr.simpson, [email protected] 2 Science and Engineering Faculty, Queensland University of Technology 2 George Street, Brisbane Qld 4000, Australia Keywords: Stream ciphers, Trivium, Trivium-N, Bivium-A, Bivium-B, algebraic attacks Abstract Trivium is a bit-based stream cipher in the final portfolio of the eSTREAM project. In this paper, we apply the approach of Berbain et al. to Trivium-like ciphers and perform new algebraic analyses on them, namely Trivium and its reduced versions: Trivium-N, Bivium-A and Bivium-B. In doing so, we answer an open question in the literature. We demonstrate a new algebraic attack on Bivium-A. This attack requires less time and memory than previous techniques which use the F4 algorithm to recover Bivium-A's initial state. Though our attacks on Bivium-B, Trivium and Trivium-N are worse than exhaustive keysearch, the systems of equations which are constructed are smaller and less complex compared to previous algebraic analysis. Factors which can affect the complexity of our attack on Trivium-like ciphers are discussed in detail. 1 Introduction Trivium [7] is a bit-based stream cipher designed by De Canni´ereand Preneel in 2005 and selected in the final portfolio of the eSTREAM project [12]. Trivium has a 288-bit nonlinear feedback shift register (NLFSR) and uses an 80-bit key and an 80-bit IV to generate keystream. -

Robshaw, rapporteur Suisse 2008 F¨ur Philomena Abstract Stream ciphers are fast cryptographic primitives to provide confidentiality of electronically transmitted data. They can be very suitable in environments with restricted resources, such as mobile devices or embedded systems. Practical examples are cell phones, RFID transponders, smart cards or devices in sensor networks. Besides efficiency, security is the most important property of a stream cipher. In this thesis, we address cryptanalysis of modern lightweight stream ciphers. We derive and improve cryptanalytic methods for dif- ferent building blocks and present dedicated attacks on specific proposals, including some eSTREAM candidates. As a result, we elaborate on the design criteria for the develop- ment of secure and efficient stream ciphers. The best-known building block is the linear feedback shift register (LFSR), which can be combined with a nonlinear Boolean output function. A powerful type of attacks against LFSR-based stream ciphers are the recent algebraic attacks, these exploit the specific structure by deriving low degree equations for recovering the secret key. -

Design and Analysis of RC4-Like Stream Ciphers
Design and Analysis of RC4-like Stream Ciphers by Matthew E. McKague A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Mathematics in Combinatorics and Optimization Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2005 c Matthew E. McKague 2005 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. Matthew E. McKague ii Abstract RC4 is one of the most widely used ciphers in practical software ap- plications. In this thesis we examine security and design aspects of RC4. First we describe the functioning of RC4 and present previously published analyses. We then present a new cipher, Chameleon which uses a similar internal organization to RC4 but uses different methods. The remainder of the thesis uses ideas from both Chameleon and RC4 to develop design strategies for new ciphers. In particular, we develop a new cipher, RC4B, with the goal of greater security with an algorithm comparable in simplicity to RC4. We also present design strategies for ciphers and two new ciphers for 32-bit processors. Finally we present versions of Chameleon and RC4B that are implemented using playing-cards. iii Acknowledgements This thesis was undertaken under the supervision of Alfred Menezes at the University of Waterloo. The cipher Chameleon was developed under the supervision of Allen Herman at the University of Regina.

Slid Pairs in Salsa20 and Trivium
Slid Pairs in Salsa20 and Trivium Deike Priemuth-Schmid and Alex Biryukov FSTC, University of Luxembourg 6, rue Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi, L-1359 Luxembourg (deike.priemuth-schmid, alex.biryukov)@uni.lu Abstract. The stream ciphers Salsa20 and Trivium are two of the ¯- nalists of the eSTREAM project which are in the ¯nal portfolio of new promising stream ciphers. In this paper we show that initialization and key-stream generation of these ciphers is slidable, i.e. one can ¯nd distinct (Key, IV) pairs that produce identical (or closely related) key-streams. There are 2256 and more then 239 such pairs in Salsa20 and Trivium respectively. We write out and solve the non-linear equations which de- scribe such related (Key, IV) pairs. This allows us to sample the space of such related pairs e±ciently as well as detect such pairs in large portions of key-stream very e±ciently. We show that Salsa20 does not have 256-bit security if one considers general birthday and related key distinguishing and key-recovery attacks. Key words: Salsa20, Trivium, eSTREAM, stream ciphers, cryptanalysis 1 Introduction In 2005 Bernstein [2] submitted the stream cipher Salsa20 to the eSTREAM- project [5]. Original Salsa20 has 20 rounds, later 8 and 12 rounds versions Salsa20/8 and Salsa20/12 were also proposed. The cipher Salsa20 uses the hash function Salsa20 in a counter mode. It has 512-bit state which is initialized by copying into it 128 or 256-bit key, 64-bit nonce and counter and 128-bit constant. Previous attacks on Salsa used di®erential cryptanalysis exploiting a truncated di®erential over three or four rounds.
