چکیده

A new method for reducing the internal state size of stream cipher registers has been proposed in FSE 2015, allowing to reduce the area in hardware implementations. Along with it, an instantiated proposal of a cipher was also proposed: Sprout. In this paper, we analyze the security of Sprout, and we propose an attack that recovers the whole key more than 2 times faster than exhaustive search and has very low data complexity. The attack can be seen as a divide-andconquer evolved technique, that exploits the non-linear influence of the key bits on the update function. We have implemented the attack on a toy version of Sprout, that conserves the main properties exploited in the attack. The attack completely matches the expected complexities predicted by our theoretical cryptanalysis, which proves its validity. We believe that our attack shows that a more careful analysis should be done in order to instantiate the proposed design method.

Cryptanalysis of full round Fruit

In FSE 2015, Armknetcht et al. proposed a new technique to design stream cipher. This technique involves repeated use of keybits in each round of keystream bit generation. This idea showed the possibility to design stream ciphers where internal state size is significantly lower than twice the key size. They proposed a new cipher based on this idea, named Sprout. But soon Sprout was proved to be...

Practical Cryptanalysis of Full Sprout with TMD Tradeoff Attacks

The internal state size of a stream cipher is supposed to be at least twice the key length to provide resistance against the conventional Time-Memory-Data (TMD) tradeoff attacks. This well adopted security criterion seems to be one of the main obstacles in designing, particularly, ultra lightweight stream ciphers. At FSE 2015, Armknecht and Mikhalev proposed an elegant design philosophy for str...

Exploiting Transformations of the Galois Configuration to Improve Guess-and-Determine Attacks on NFSRs

Guess-and-determine attacks are based on guessing a subset of internal state bits and subsequently using these guesses together with the cipher’s output function to determine the value of the remaining state. These attacks have been successfully employed to break NFSRbased stream ciphers. The complexity of a guess-and-determine attack is directly related to the number of state bits used in the ...

Key Recovery from State Information of Sprout: Application to Cryptanalysis and Fault Attack

Design of secure light-weight stream ciphers is an important area in cryptographic hardware & embedded systems and a very recent design by Armknecht and Mikhalev (FSE 2015) has received serious attention that uses shorter internal state and still claims to resist the time-memory-data-tradeoff (TMDTO) attacks. An instantiation of this design paradigm is the stream cipher named Sprout with 80-bit...

A Related-Key Chosen-IV Distinguishing Attack on Full Sprout Stream Cipher

Sprout is a new lightweight stream cipher proposed at FSE 2015. According to its designers, Sprout can resist time-memory-data trade-off (TMDTO) attacks with small internal state size. However, we find a weakness in the updating functions of Sprout and propose a related-key chosen-IV distinguishing attacks on full Sprout. Under the related-key setting, our attacks enable the adversary to detect...
