Sigaba: Cryptanalysis of the Full Keyspace
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we consider an attack on the SIGABA cipher under the assumption that the largest practical keyspace is used. The attack highlights various strengths and weaknesses of SIGABA and provides insight into the inherent level of security provided by the cipher.

Cryptanalysis of RC4-like Ciphers
RC4, a stream cipher designed by Rivest for RSA Data Security Inc., has found several commercial applications, but little public analysis has been done to date. In this paper, alleged RC4 (hereafter called RC4) is described and existing analysis outlined. The properties of RC4, and in particular its cycle structure, are discussed. Several variants of a basic “tracking” attack are described, and...
متن کاملCryptanalysis of Typex
Rotor cipher machines played a large role in World War II: Germany used Enigma; America created Sigaba; Britain developed Typex. The breaking of Enigma by Polish and (later) British cryptanalysts had an enormous impact on the war. However, despite being based on the commercial version of the Enigma, there is no documented successful attack on Typex during its time in service. This paper covers ...
متن کاملThe Cryptanalysis of a Three Rotor Machine Using a Genetic Algorithm
This paper describes a method of decipher ing messages encrypted with rotor machines utilising a Genetic Algorithm to search the keyspace A tness measure based on the phi test for non randomness of text is described and the results show that an unknown three rotor machine can generally be cryptanalysed with about letters of ciphertext The results are compared to those given using a previously p...
متن کاملBiclique Cryptanalysis of Block Ciphers LBlock and TWINE-80 with Practical Data Complexity
In the biclique attack, a shorter biclique usually results in less data complexity, but at the expense of more computational complexity. The early abort technique can be used in partial matching part of the biclique attack in order to slightly reduce the computations. In this paper, we make use of this technique, but instead of slight improvement in the computational complexity, we keep the amo...
