Chosen IV Statistical Analysis for Key Recovery Attacks on Stream Ciphers
نویسندگان
چکیده
A recent framework for chosen IV statistical distinguishing analysis of stream ciphers is exploited and formalized to provide new methods for key recovery attacks. As an application, a key recovery attack on simplified versions of two eSTREAM Phase 3 candidates is given: For Grain-128 with IV initialization reduced to up to 180 of its 256 iterations, and for Trivium with IV initialization reduced to up to 672 of its 1152 iterations, it is experimentally demonstrated how to deduce a few key bits. Evidence is given that the present analysis is not applicable on Grain-128 or Trivium with full IV initialization.

A Framework for Chosen IV Statistical Analysis of Stream Ciphers
Saarinen recently proposed a chosen IV statistical attack, called the d-monomial test, and used it to find weaknesses in several proposed stream ciphers. In this paper we generalize this idea and propose a framework for chosen IV statistical attacks using a polynomial description. We propose a few new statistical attacks, apply them on some existing stream cipher proposals, and give some conclu...
متن کاملChosen-IV Statistical Attacks on eSTREAM Stream Ciphers
d-Monomial tests are statistical randomness tests based on Algebraic Normal Form representation of a Boolean function, and were first introduced by Filiol in 2002. We show that there are strong indications that the Gate Complexity of a Boolean function is related to a bias detectable in a d-Monomial test. We then discuss how to effectively apply d-Monomial tests in chosen-IV attacks against str...

متن کاملSome Results on Distinguishing Attacks on Stream Ciphers
Stream ciphers are cryptographic primitives that are used to ensure the privacy of a message that is sent over a digital communication channel. In this thesis we will present new cryptanalytic results for several stream ciphers. The thesis provides a general introduction to cryptology, explains the basic concepts, gives an overview of various cryptographic primitives and discusses a number of d...
متن کاملTwo Algebraic Attacks Against the F-FCSRs Using the IV Mode
This article presents some new results concerning two algebraic attacks against the F-FCSR constructions proposed in [2]. We focus on the parameters of the stream ciphers proposed that permit to mount algebraic attacks when using the IV mode. The complexity obtained for the first attack described here is 2 binary instructions using 2 known IV values for the construction F-FCSR-SF1. All the prop...
