A Survey of Cryptanalytic Attacks on Lightweight Block Ciphers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lightweight block ciphers are used in applications where low power consumption is a requirement along with hardware area constraints regarding their implementation. Design of these ciphers demands an optimal tradeoff between computational efficiency and security. These ciphers being supportive in fast and secure transmission of data from one location to another are prone to several attacks that need to be identified and analyzed before deployment. This paper focuses on describing and categorizing all recent attacks in accordance to various lightweight block ciphers available to us. We present recently published lightweight block ciphers, their comparison trade-offs between security, cost and performance and cryptanalytic attacks launched on some of these ciphers.

Biclique Cryptanalysis of Lightweight Block Ciphers PRESENT, Piccolo and LED
Abstract. In this paper, we evaluate the security of lightweight block ciphers PRESENT, Piccolo and LED against biclique cryptanalysis. To recover the secret key of PRESENT-80/128, our attacks require 2 full PRESENT-80 encryptions and 2 full PRESENT-128 encryptions, respectively. Our attacks on Piccolo-80/128 require computational complexities of 2 and 2, respectively. The attack on a 29-round ...
متن کاملA new CPA resistant software implementation for symmetric ciphers with smoothed power consumption: SIMON case study
In this paper we propose a new method for applying hiding countermeasure against CPA attacks. This method is for software implementation, based on smoothing power consumption of the device. This method is evaluated on the SIMON scheme as a case study; however, it is not relying on any specific SIMON features. Our new method includes only AND equivalent and XOR equivalent operations since every ...
متن کاملImproved Differential Cryptanalysis of Round-Reduced Speck
Simon and Speck are families of lightweight block ciphers designed by the U.S. National Security Agency and published in 2013. Each of the families contains 10 variants, supporting a wide range of block and key sizes. Since the publication of Simon and Speck, several research papers analyzed their security using various cryptanalytic techniques. The best previously published attacks on all the ...
متن کاملAlgebraic Techniques in Differential Cryptanalysis
In this paper we propose a new cryptanalytic method against block ciphers, which combines both algebraic and statistical techniques. More specifically, we show how to use algebraic relations arising from differential characteristics to speed up and improve key-recovery differential attacks against block ciphers in some situations. To illustrate the new technique, we apply it to reduced round ve...
متن کاملCryptanalysis of Block Ciphers: A Survey
This report summarizes readings in the area of the cryptanalysis of block ciphers. Historically, the academic field started in 1981 with the first CRYPTO conference and observations on some undesirable properties of the DES. Practically, most cryptanalytic techniques were developed in the 1990s. A number of them are variants of two decisive progresses in the field. Differential cryptanalysis wa...
