Automatic Differential Analysis of ARX Block Ciphers with Application to SPECK and LEA
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we focus on the automatic differential cryptanalysis of ARX block ciphers with respect to XOR-difference, and develop Mouha et al.’s framework for finding differential characteristics by adding a new method to construct long characteristics from short ones. The new method reduces the searching time a lot and makes it possible to search differential characteristics for ARX block ciphers with large word sizes such as n = 48, 64. What’s more, we take the differential effect into consideration and find that the differential probability increases by a factor of 1.4 ∼ 8 for SPECK and about 2 for LEA when multiple characteristics are counted in. The efficiency of our method is demonstrated by improved attacks of SPECK and LEA, which attack 1, 1, 4 and 6 more rounds of SPECK48, SPECK64, SPECK96 and SPECK128, respectively, and 2 more rounds of LEA than previous works.

Automatic Search for Differential Trails in ARX Ciphers
We propose a tool 1 for automatic search for differential trails in ARX ciphers. By introducing the concept of a partial difference distribution table (pDDT) we extend Matsui’s algorithm, originally proposed for DES-like ciphers, to the class of ARX ciphers. To the best of our knowledge this is the first application of Matsui’s algorithm to ciphers that do not have S-boxes. The tool is applied ...
متن کاملMILP-Based Automatic Search Algorithms for Differential and Linear Trails for Speck
In recent years, Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) has been successfully applied in searching for differential characteristics and linear approximations in block ciphers and has produced the significant results for some ciphers such as SIMON (a family of lightweight and hardware-optimized block ciphers designed by NSA) etc. However, in the literature, the MILP-based automatic search algor...
متن کاملAutomatic Search for the Best Trails in ARX: Application to Block Cipher Speck
We propose the first adaptation of Matsui’s algorithm for finding the best differential and linear trails to the class of ARX ciphers. It is based on a branch-and-bound search strategy, does not use any heuristics and returns optimal results. The practical application of the new algorithm is demonstrated on reduced round variants of block ciphers from the Speck family. More specifically, we rep...
متن کاملDifferential Analysis of Block Ciphers SIMON and SPECK
In this paper we continue the previous line of research on the analysis of the differential properties of the lightweight block ciphers Simon and Speck. We apply a recently proposed technique for automatic search for differential trails in ARX ciphers and improve the trails in Simon32 and Simon48 previously reported as best. We further extend the search technique for the case of differentials a...
متن کاملEfficient Differential Trail Searching Algorithm for ARX Block Ciphers
In this paper, we suggest an advanced method searching for differential trails of block cipher with ARX structure. We use two techniques to optimize the automatic search algorithm of differential trails suggested by Biryukov et al. and obtain 2~3 times faster results than the previous one when implemented in block cipher SPECK.
