The MICKEY Stream Ciphers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The family of stream ciphers MICKEY (which stands for Mutual Irregular Clocking KEYstream generator) is aimed at resource-constrained hardware platforms. It is intended to have low complexity in hardware, while providing a high level of security. It uses irregular clocking of shift registers, with some novel techniques to balance the need for guarantees on period and pseudorandomness against the need to avoid certain cryptanalytic attacks.

Hardware Implementations for the ISO/IEC 18033-4:2005 Standard for Stream Ciphers
In this paper the FPGA implementations for four stream ciphers are presented. The two stream ciphers, MUGI and SNOW 2.0 are recently adopted by the International Organization for Standardization ISO/IEC 18033-4:2005 standard. The other two stream ciphers, MICKEY 128 and TRIVIUM have been submitted and are under consideration for the eSTREAM, the ECRYPT (European Network of Excellence for Crypto...
متن کاملNew Treatment of the BSW Sampling and Its Applications to Stream Ciphers
By combining the time-memory-data tradeoff (TMDTO) attack independently proposed by Babbage and Golić (BG) with the BSW sampling technique, this paper explores to mount a new TMDTO attack on stream ciphers. The new attack gives a wider variety of trade-offs, compared with original BG-TMDTO attack. It is efficient when multiple data is allowed for the attacker from the same key with different IV...
متن کاملIoT Security: Performance Evaluation of Grain, MICKEY, and Trivium - Lightweight Stream Ciphers
In this paper, we evaluate the software implementation of eSTREAM Profile II finalists (Grain, MICKEY, and Trivium) on a NodeMCU development kit 1.0 microcontroller. The NodeMCU is programmed by Arduino IDE to run a C++ code that awaits TCP communication over a WiFi network to encrypt or decrypt text using these lightweight stream ciphers. Throughput performance of the cipher implementations on...
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...
متن کاملOn the Parallelization of the MICKEY-128 2.0 Stream Cipher
The increasingly widespread use of electronic devices necessitates efficient stream ciphers providing high-throughput encryption with minimal resource usage. MICKEY-128 2.0 is a recent hardware-oriented synchronous stream cypher with a 128-bit key, proposed to the ECRYPT Stream Cipher Project. Using a novel mathematical interpretation of the algorithm, we present a method of parallelizing the s...
