Differential Attacks against the Helix Stream Cipher

In this paper, we analyze the security of the stream cipher Helix, recently proposed at FSE’03. Helix is a high-speed asynchronous stream cipher, with a built-in MAC functionality. We analyze the differential properties of its keystream generator and describe two new attacks. The first attack requires 2 basic operations and processes only 2 words of chosen plaintext in order to recover the secr...

VMPC-MAC: A Stream Cipher Based Authenticated Encryption Scheme

A stream cipher based algorithm for computing Message Authentication Codes is described. The algorithm employs the internal state of the underlying cipher to minimize the required additional-toencryption computational effort and maintain general simplicity of the design. The scheme appears to provide proper statistical properties, a comfortable level of resistance against forgery attacks in a c...

Analysis of Stream Cipher Based Authenticated Encryption Schemes

Authenticated Encryption (AE) is the cryptographic process of providing simultaneous confidentiality and integrity protection to messages. This approach is more efficient than applying a two-step process of providing confidentiality for a message by encrypting the message, and in a separate pass providing integrity protection by generating a Message Authentication Code (MAC). AE using symmetric...

Practical Fault Attacks on Authenticated Encryption Modes for AES

Since the first demonstration of fault attacks by Boneh et al. on RSA, a multitude of fault attack techniques on various cryptosystems have been proposed. Most of these techniques, like Differential Fault Analysis, Safe Error Attack, and Collision Fault Analysis have the requirement to process two inputs that are either identical or related, in order to generate pairs of correct/faulty cipherte...
