The rabbit algorithm is a stream cipher algorithm. Stream ciphers are an important class of symmetric encryption algorithm, which uses the same secret key to encrypt and decrypt the data and has been designed for high performance in software implementation. The data or the plain text in our proposed model is the binary data which is encrypted using the keys generated by the rabbit algorithm. The rabbit algorithm is implemented and the language used to write the code is Verilog and then is simulated using Modelsim6.4a. The software tool used is Xilinx ISE Design Suit 14.7. Keywords—Cryptography, Stream ciphers, Rabbit algorithm 1. INTRODUCTION In today’s world most of the communications done using electronic media.

Key Differentiation Attacks on Stream Ciphers
Key differentiation attacks on stream ciphers Abstract In this paper the applicability of differential cryptanalytic tool to stream ciphers is elaborated using the algebraic representation similar to early Shannon’s postulates regarding the concept of confusion. In 2007, Biham and Dunkelman [3] have formally introduced the concept of differential cryptanalysis in stream ciphers by addressing the three different scenarios of interest. Here we mainly consider the first scenario where the key difference and/or IV difference influence the internal state of the cipher (∆key, ∆IV ) → ∆S. We then show that under certain circumstances a chosen IV attack may be transformed in the key chosen attack. That is, whenever at some stage of the key/IV setup algorithm (KSA) we may identify linear relations between some subset of key and IV bits, and these key variables only appear through these linear relations, then using the differentiation of internal state variables (through chosen IV scenario of attack) we are able to eliminate the presence of corresponding key variables. The method leads to an attack whose complexity is beyond the exhaustive search, whenever the cipher admits exact algebraic description of internal state variables and the keystream computation is not complex. A successful application is especially noted in the context of stream ciphers whose keystream bits evolve relatively slow as a function of secret state bits. A modification of the attack can be applied to the TRIVIUM stream cipher [8], in this case 12 linear relations could be identified but at the same time the same 12 key variables appear in another part of state register. -
Comparison of 256-Bit Stream Ciphers at the Beginning of 2006
Comparison of 256-bit stream ciphers at the beginning of 2006 Daniel J. Bernstein ? [email protected] Abstract. This paper evaluates and compares several stream ciphers that use 256-bit keys: counter-mode AES, CryptMT, DICING, Dragon, FUBUKI, HC-256, Phelix, Py, Py6, Salsa20, SOSEMANUK, VEST, and YAMB. 1 Introduction ECRYPT, a consortium of European research organizations, issued a Call for Stream Cipher Primitives in November 2004. A remarkable variety of ciphers were proposed in response by a total of 97 authors spread among Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Japan, Korea, Macedonia, Norway, Russia, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States. Evaluating a huge pool of stream ciphers, to understand the merits of each cipher, is not an easy task. This paper simplifies the task by focusing on the relatively small pool of ciphers that allow 256-bit keys. Ciphers limited to 128- bit keys (or 80-bit keys) are ignored. See Section 2 to understand my interest in 256-bit keys. The ciphers allowing 256-bit keys are CryptMT, DICING, Dragon, FUBUKI, HC-256, Phelix, Py, Py6, Salsa20, SOSEMANUK, VEST, and YAMB. I included 256-bit AES in counter mode as a basis for comparison. Beware that there are unresolved claims of attacks against Py (see [4] and [3]), SOSEMANUK (see [1]), and YAMB (see [5]). ECRYPT, using measurement tools written by Christophe De Canni`ere, has published timings for each cipher on several common general-purpose CPUs. The original tools and timings used reference implementations (from the cipher authors) but were subsequently updated for faster implementations (also from the cipher authors). -
Statistical Attack on RC4 Distinguishing WPA
Statistical Attack on RC4 Distinguishing WPA Pouyan Sepehrdad, Serge Vaudenay, and Martin Vuagnoux EPFL CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland http://lasecwww.epfl.ch Abstract. In this paper we construct several tools for manipulating pools of bi- ases in the analysis of RC4. Then, we show that optimized strategies can break WEP based on 4000 packets by assuming that the first bytes of plaintext are known for each packet. We describe similar attacks for WPA. Firstly, we de- scribe a distinguisher for WPA of complexity 243 and advantage 0.5 which uses 240 packets. Then, based on several partial temporary key recovery attacks, we recover the full 128-bit temporary key by using 238 packets. It works within a complexity of 296. So far, this is the best attack against WPA. We believe that our analysis brings further insights on the security of RC4. 1 Introduction RC4 was designed by Rivest in 1987. It used to be a trade secret until it was anony- mously posted in 1994. Nowadays, RC4 is widely used in SSL/TLS and Wi-Fi 802.11 wireless communications. 802.11 [1] used to be protected by WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) which is now being replaced by WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) due to security weaknesses. WEP uses RC4 with a pre-shared key. Each packet is encrypted by a XOR to a keystream generated by RC4. The RC4 key is the pre-shared key prepended with a 3- byte nonce IV. The IV is sent in clear for self-synchronization. There have been several attempts to break the full RC4 algorithm but it has only been devastating so far in this scenario. -

Abstract: -Wireless sensor networks consist of autonomous sensor nodes attached to one or more base stations.As Wireless sensor networks continues to grow,they become vulnerable to attacks and hence the need for effective security mechanisms.Identification of suitable cryptography for wireless sensor networks is an important challenge due to limitation of energy,computation capability and storage resources of the sensor nodes.Symmetric based cryptographic schemes donot scale well when the number of sensor nodes increases.Hence public key based schemes are widely used.We present here two public – key based algorithms, RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and found out that ECC have a significant advantage over RSA as it reduces the computation time and also the amount of data transmitted and stored. Keywords: -Wireless Sensor Network,Security, Cryptography, RSA,ECC. I. WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK Sensor networks refer to a heterogeneous system combining tiny sensors and actuators with general- purpose computing elements. These networks will consist of hundreds or thousands of self-organizing, low- power, low-cost wireless nodes deployed to monitor and affect the environment [1]. Sensor networks are typically characterized by limited power supplies, low bandwidth, small memory sizes and limited energy. This leads to a very demanding environment to provide security. -

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.
