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. -

Christof Paar Ruhr-Universit¨atBochum, Germany Secondary Referee: Prof. Christian Rechberger Danmarks Tekniske Universitet, Denmark Thesis submitted: December 19, 2014 Thesis defense: February 6, 2015 v Abstract Technological advancements in the semiconductor industry over the last few decades made the mass production of very small-scale computing devices possible. Thanks to the compactness and mobility of these devices, they can be deployed “pervasively”, in other words, everywhere and anywhere – such as in smart homes, logistics, e-commerce, and medical technology. Em- bedding the small-scale devices into everyday objects pervasively also indicates the realization of the foreseen “ubiquitous computing” concept. However, ubiquitous computing and the mass deployment of the pervasive devices in turn brought some concerns – especially, security and privacy. Many people criticize the security and privacy management in the ubiquitous context. It is even believed that an inadequate level of security may be the greatest barrier to the long-term success of ubiquitous computing. For ubiquitous computing, the adversary model and the se- curity level is not the same as in traditional applications due to limited resources in pervasive devices – area, power, and energy are actually harsh constraints for such devices. -
Fair and Comprehensive Methodology for Comparing Hardware Performance of Fourteen Round Two SHA-3 Candidates Using Fpgas
Fair and Comprehensive Methodology for Comparing Hardware Performance of Fourteen Round Two SHA-3 Candidates Using FPGAs Kris Gaj, Ekawat Homsirikamol, and Marcin Rogawski ECE Department, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, U.S.A. {kgaj,ehomsiri,mrogawsk}@gmu.edu http://cryptography.gmu.edu Abstract. Performance in hardware has been demonstrated to be an important factor in the evaluation of candidates for cryptographic stan- dards. Up to now, no consensus exists on how such an evaluation should be performed in order to make it fair, transparent, practical, and ac- ceptable for the majority of the cryptographic community. In this pa- per, we formulate a proposal for a fair and comprehensive evaluation methodology, and apply it to the comparison of hardware performance of 14 Round 2 SHA-3 candidates. The most important aspects of our methodology include the definition of clear performance metrics, the de- velopment of a uniform and practical interface, generation of multiple sets of results for several representative FPGA families from two major vendors, and the application of a simple procedure to convert multiple sets of results into a single ranking. Keywords: benchmarking, hash functions, SHA-3, FPGA. 1 Introduction and Motivation Starting from the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) contest organized by NIST in 1997-2000 [1], open contests have become a method of choice for select- ing cryptographic standards in the U.S. and over the world. The AES contest in the U.S. was followed by the NESSIE competition in Europe [2], CRYPTREC in Japan, and eSTREAM in Europe [3]. Four typical criteria taken into account in the evaluation of candidates are: security, performance in software, performance in hardware, and flexibility. -
Fast Hashing and Stream Encryption with Panama
Fast Hashing and Stream Encryption with Panama Joan Daemen1 and Craig Clapp2 1 Banksys, Haachtesteenweg 1442, B-1130 Brussel, Belgium [email protected] 2 PictureTel Corporation, 100 Minuteman Rd., Andover, MA 01810, USA [email protected] Abstract. We present a cryptographic module that can be used both as a cryptographic hash function and as a stream cipher. High performance is achieved through a combination of low work-factor and a high degree of parallelism. Throughputs of 5.1 bits/cycle for the hashing mode and 4.7 bits/cycle for the stream cipher mode are demonstrated on a com- mercially available VLIW micro-processor. 1 Introduction Panama is a cryptographic module that can be used both as a cryptographic hash function and a stream cipher. It is designed to be very efficient in software implementations on 32-bit architectures. Its basic operations are on 32-bit words. The hashing state is updated by a parallel nonlinear transformation, the buffer operates as a linear feedback shift register, similar to that applied in the compression function of SHA [6]. Panama is largely based on the StepRightUp stream/hash module that was described in [4]. Panama has a low per-byte work factor while still claiming very high security. The price paid for this is a relatively high fixed computational overhead for every execution of the hash function. This makes the Panama hash function less suited for the hashing of messages shorter than the equivalent of a typewritten page. For the stream cipher it results in a relatively long initialization procedure. Hence, in applications where speed is critical, too frequent resynchronization should be avoided. -

Linearization Framework for Collision Attacks: Application to Cubehash and MD6
Linearization Framework for Collision Attacks: Application to CubeHash and MD6 Eric Brier1, Shahram Khazaei2, Willi Meier3, and Thomas Peyrin1 1 Ingenico, France 2 EPFL, Switzerland 3 FHNW, Switzerland Abstract. In this paper, an improved differential cryptanalysis framework for finding collisions in hash functions is provided. Its principle is based on lineariza- tion of compression functions in order to find low weight differential characteris- tics as initiated by Chabaud and Joux. This is formalized and refined however in several ways: for the problem of finding a conforming message pair whose differ- ential trail follows a linear trail, a condition function is introduced so that finding a collision is equivalent to finding a preimage of the zero vector under the con- dition function. Then, the dependency table concept shows how much influence every input bit of the condition function has on each output bit. Careful analysis of the dependency table reveals degrees of freedom that can be exploited in ac- celerated preimage reconstruction under the condition function. These concepts are applied to an in-depth collision analysis of reduced-round versions of the two SHA-3 candidates CubeHash and MD6, and are demonstrated to give by far the best currently known collision attacks on these SHA-3 candidates. Keywords: Hash functions, collisions, differential attack, SHA-3, CubeHash and MD6. 1 Introduction Hash functions are important cryptographic primitives that find applications in many areas including digital signatures and commitment schemes. A hash function is a trans- formation which maps a variable-length input to a fixed-size output, called message digest. One expects a hash function to possess several security properties, one of which is collision resistance. -

NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) has selected an approach, which was proposed by Keccak. The proposed design is logically optimized for area efficiency by merging Rho, Pi and Chi steps of algorithm into single step, by logically merging these three steps we save 16 % logical resources for overall implementation. It in turn reduced latency and enhanced maximum operating frequency of design, our design shows the best throughput per slice (TPS) ratio, in this paper we are implementing SHA3 1024 variant using Xilinx 13.2 Keywords: theta, rho, pi, chi, iota. INTRODUCTION MD5 is one in a series of message digest algorithms designed by Professor Ronald Rivest of MIT (Rivest, 1992). When analytic work indicated that MD5's predecessor MD4 was likely to be insecure, Rivest designed MD5 in 1991 as a secure replacement. (Hans Dobbertin did indeed later find weaknesses in MD4.)In 1993, Den Boer and Baseliners gave an early, although limited, result of finding a "pseudo-collision" of the MD5 compression function; that is, two different initialization vectors which produce an identical digest.
