چکیده

CRYPTO 2008 saw the introduction of the hash function MD6 and of cube attacks, a type of algebraic attack applicable to cryptographic functions having a low-degree algebraic normal form over GF(2). This paper applies cube attacks to reduced round MD6, finding the full 128-bit key of a 14-round MD6 with complexity 2 (which takes less than a minute on a single PC). This is the best key recovery attack announced so far for MD6. We then introduce a new class of attacks called cube testers, based on efficient property-testing algorithms, and apply them to MD6 and to the stream cipher Trivium. Unlike the standard cube attacks, cube testers detect nonrandom behavior rather than performing key extraction, but they can also attack cryptographic schemes described by nonrandom polynomials of relatively high degree. Applied to MD6, cube testers detect nonrandomness over 18 rounds in 2 complexity; applied to a slightly modified version of the MD6 compression function, they can distinguish 66 rounds from random in 2 complexity. Cube testers give distinguishers on Trivium reduced to 790 rounds from random with 2 complexity and detect nonrandomness over 885 rounds in 2, improving on the original 767-round cube attack.

Corrigendum to: The Cube Attack on Stream Cipher Trivium and Quadraticity Tests

In 2008 I. Dinur and A. Shamir presented a new type of algebraic attack on symmetric ciphers named cube attack. The method has been applied to reduced variants of stream ciphers Trivium and Grain128, reduced variants of the block ciphers Serpent and CTC and to a reduced version of the keyed hash function MD6. Independently a very similar attack named AIDA was introduced by M. Vielhaber. In this...

Cube Attacks on Non-Blackbox Polynomials Based on Division Property (Full Version)

The cube attack is a powerful cryptanalytic technique and is especially powerful against stream ciphers. Since we need to analyze the complicated structure of a stream cipher in the cube attack, the cube attack basically analyzes it by regarding it as a blackbox. Therefore, the cube attack is an experimental attack, and we cannot evaluate the security when the size of cube exceeds an experiment...

The Cube Attack on Courtois Toy Cipher

The cube attack has been introduced by Itai Dinur and Adi Shamir [8] as a known plaintext attack on symmetric primitives. The attack has been applied to reduced variants of the stream ciphers Trivium [3, 8] and Grain-128 [2], reduced to three rounds variant of the block cipher Serpent [9] and reduced version of the hash function MD6 [3]. In the special case the attack has appeared in the M. Vie...

New Distinguishers for Reduced Round Trivium and Trivia-SC using Cube Testers

In this paper we experiment with cube testers on reduced round Trivium that can act as a distinguisher. Using heuristics, we obtain several distinguishers for Trivium running more than 800 rounds (maximum 829) with cube sizes not exceeding 27. In the process, we also exploit state biases that has not been explored before. Further, we apply our techniques to analyse Trivia-SC, a stream cipher pr...
