Chosen-IV Statistical Attacks on eStream Ciphers
نویسنده
چکیده
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 stream ciphers. Finally we present results of tests performed on eSTREAM proposals, and show that six of these new ciphers can be broken using the d-Monomial test in a chosen-IV attack. Many ciphers even fail a trivial (ANF) bit-flipping test.

متن کاملChosen IV Statistical Analysis for Key Recovery Attacks on Stream Ciphers
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 reduc...
متن کاملStream ciphers and the eSTREAM project
Stream ciphers are an important class of symmetric cryptographic algorithms. The eSTREAM project contributed significantly to the recent increase of activity in this field. In this paper, we present a survey of the eSTREAM project. We also review recent time/memory/data and time/memory/key trade-offs relevant for the generic attacks on stream ciphers.
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 کاملBreaking the Estream Finalists and AES Modes of Operation Faster than Exhaustive Search
Time-memory-data (TMD) trade-off attack is a wellstudied technique that has been applied on many stream and block ciphers. Current TMD attacks by Biryukov-Shamir (BSTMD), Hong-Sarkar (HS-TMD) and Dunkelman-Keller (DKTMD) has been applied to ciphers like Grain-v1 and AES-192/256 modes of operation to break them with online complexity faster than exhaustive search. However, there is still a limit...
