Attacks on the RC4 stream cipher
In this article we present some weaknesses in the RC4 cipher and their cryptographic applications. Especially we improve the attack described in [2] in such a way, that it will work, if the weak keys described in that paper are avoided. A further attack will work even if the first 256 Byte of the output remain unused. Finally we show that variants of the RC4 algorithm like NGG and RC4A are also...
متن کاملPassive-Only Key Recovery Attacks on RC4
We present several weaknesses in the key scheduling algorithm of RC4 when the secret key contains an initialization vector – a cryptographic scheme typically used by the WEP and WPA protocols to protect IEEE 802.11 wireless communications. First, we show how the previously discovered key recovery attacks can be improved by reducing the dependency between the secret key bytes. Then, we describe ...
متن کاملStatistical Attack on RC4 - Distinguishing WPA
In this paper we construct several tools for manipulating pools of biases 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 describe a distinguisher for WPA of complexity 243 and advantage 0.5 which uses 240 packets. Then, ba...
متن کاملRC4 stream cipher and possible attacks on WEP
In this paper we analyze and present some weaknesses and possible attacks on the RC4 stream cipher which were published in many journals. We review some advantages and disadvantages which come from several authors, as well as similarities and differences which can be observed in the published results. Also, we analyze the Key Scheduling Algorithm (KSA) which derives the initial state from a var...
متن کاملPredicting and Distinguishing Attacks on RC4 Keystream Generator
In this paper we analyze the statistical distribution of the keystream generator used by the stream ciphers RC4 and RC4A. Our first result is the discovery of statistical biases of the digraphs distribution of RC4/RC4A generated streams, where digraphs tend to repeat with short gaps between them. We show how an attacker can use these biased patterns to distinguish RC4 keystreams of 2 bytes and ...
