On A Fast Correlation Attack on Certain Stream Ciphers
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a new algorithm for the recovery of the initial state of a linear feedback shift register when a noisy output sequence is given. Our work is focussed on the investigation of the asymptotical behaviour of the recovery process rather than on the construction of an optimal recovery procedure. Our results show the importance of low-weight checks and show also that the complexity of the recovery problem grows less than exponentially with the length of the shift register, even if the number of taps grows linearly with the register length. Our procedure works for shift register with arbitrary feedback polynomial.

A note on "Improved Fast Correlation Attacks on Stream Ciphers"
In SAC’08, an improved fast correlation attack on stream ciphers was proposed. This attack is based on the fast correlation attack proposed at Crypto’00 and combined with the fast Walsh transform. However, we found that the attack results are wrong. In this paper, we correct the results of the attack algorithm by analyzing it theoretically. Also we propose a threshold of the valid bias.
متن کاملCryptanalysis and Design of Stream Ciphers
This thesis presents some novel results on the cryptanalysis and design of stream ciphers. The first part of the thesis introduces various stream ciphers design and cryptanalysis techniques. The second part of the thesis gives the cryptanalysis of seven stream ciphers. The properties of addition are exploited in the cryptanalysis of two stream ciphers: the differential-linear cryptanalysis agai...
متن کاملOn the computational complexity of finding a minimal basis for the guess and determine attack
Guess-and-determine attack is one of the general attacks on stream ciphers. It is a common cryptanalysis tool for evaluating security of stream ciphers. The effectiveness of this attack is based on the number of unknown bits which will be guessed by the attacker to break the cryptosystem. In this work, we present a relation between the minimum numbers of the guessed bits and uniquely restricted...
متن کاملFast Correlation Attacks: Methods and Countermeasures
Fast correlation attacks have considerably evolved since their first appearance. They have lead to new design criteria of stream ciphers, and have found applications in other areas of communications and cryptography. In this paper, a review of the development of fast correlation attacks and their implications on the design of stream ciphers over the past two decades is given.
متن کاملCombining Certain Nonlinear Feedback Shift Registers
Stream ciphers that deploy linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs) have been shown to be vulnerable under fast correlation attacks [20], [21], [14], algebraic attacks [7], [28], fast algebraic attacks [6], [1], and fault attacks [13]. We discuss certain nonlinear feedback shift registers (NLFSRs) recommended as substitutes for LFSRs in stream cipher systems.

Guess and determine attacks are general attacks on stream ciphers. These attacks are classified into ad-hoc and Heuristic Guess and Determine (HGD) attacks. One of the Advantages of HGD attack algorithm over ad-hoc attack is that it is designed algorithmically for a large class of stream ciphers while being powerful. In this paper, we use auxiliary polynomials in addition to the original equati...
