Improved Linear Cryptanalysis of SOSEMANUK
نویسندگان
چکیده
The SOSEMANUK stream cipher is one of the finalists of the eSTREAM project. In this paper, we improve the linear cryptanalysis of SOSEMANUK presented in Asiacrypt 2008. We apply the generalized linear masking technique to SOSEMANUK and derive many linear approximations holding with the correlations of up to 2−25.5. We show that the data complexity of the linear attack on SOSEMANUK can be reduced by a factor of 2 if multiple linear approximations are used. Since SOSEMANUK claims 128-bit security, our attack would not be a real threat on the security of SOSEMANUK.

Cryptanalysis of Sosemanuk and SNOW 2.0 Using Linear Masks
In this paper, we present a correlation attack on Sosemanuk with complexity less than 2. Sosemanuk is a software oriented stream cipher proposed by Berbain et al. to the eSTREAM call for stream cipher and has been selected in the final portfolio. Sosemanuk consists of a linear feedback shift register(LFSR) of ten 32-bit words and a finite state machine(FSM) of two 32-bit words. By combining lin...
متن کاملOn the Sosemanuk Related Key-IV Sets
Sosemanuk is a software-based stream cipher that has passed all three stages of the ECRYPT stream cipher project and is currently a member of the eSTREAM software portfolio. In the recent works on cryptanalysis of Sosemanuk, its relatively small inner state size of 384 bits was identified to be one of the reasons that the attacks were possible. In this paper, we show that another consequence of...
متن کاملCache Timing Analysis of LFSR-Based Stream Ciphers
Cache timing attacks are a class of side-channel attacks that is applicable against certain software implementations. They have generated significant interest when demonstrated against the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), but have more recently also been applied against other cryptographic primitives. In this paper, we give a cache timing cryptanalysis of stream ciphers using word-based line...
متن کاملExtension of Cube Attack with Probabilistic Equations and its Application on Cryptanalysis of KATAN Cipher
Cube Attack is a successful case of Algebraic Attack. Cube Attack consists of two phases, linear equation extraction and solving the extracted equation system. Due to the high complexity of equation extraction phase in finding linear equations, we can extract nonlinear ones that could be approximated to linear equations with high probability. The probabilistic equations could be considered as l...
متن کاملA Byte-Based Guess and Determine Attack on SOSEMANUK
SOSEMANUK is a software-oriented stream cipher proposed by C. Berbain et al for the eSTREAM project and has been selected into the final portfolio. It is noticed that most components of SOSEMANUK can be calculated byte-oriented. Hence an attacker can observe SOSEMANUK from the view of byte units instead of the original 32-bit word units. Based on the above idea, in this work we present a new by...
