An Efficient Interpolation Attack
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce an efficient interpolation attack which gives the tighter upper bound of the complexity and the number of pairs of plaintexts and ciphertexts required for the attack. In the previously known interpolation attack there is a problem in that the required complexity for the attack can be overestimated. We solve this problem by first, finding the actual number of coefficients in the polynomial used in the attack by using a computer algebra system, and second, by finding the polynomial with fewer coefficients by choosing the plaintexts. We apply this interpolation attack to the block cipher SNAKE and succeeded in attacking many ciphers in the SNAKE family. When we evaluate the resistance of a block cipher to interpolation attack, it is necessary to apply the interpolation attack described in this paper. key words: cryptanalysis, block cipher, interpolation attack, computer algebra system, SNAKE

Optimized Interpolation Attacks on LowMC
LowMC is a collection of block cipher families introduced at Eurocrypt 2015 by Albrecht et al. Its design is optimized for instantiations of multi-party computation, fully homomorphic encryption, and zero-knowledge proofs. A unique feature of LowMC is that its internal affine layers are chosen at random, and thus each block cipher family contains a huge number of instances. The Eurocrypt paper ...
متن کاملNew adaptive interpolation schemes for efficient meshbased motion estimation
Motion estimation and compensation is an essential part of existing video coding systems. The mesh-based motion estimation (MME) produces smoother motion field, better subjective quality (free from blocking artifacts), and higher peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) in many cases, especially at low bitrate video communications, compared to the conventional block matching algorithm (BMA). Howev...
متن کاملAn efficient certificateless signcryption scheme in the standard model
Certificateless public key cryptography (CL-PKC) is a useful method in order to solve the problems of traditional public key infrastructure (i.e., large amount of computation, storage and communication costs for managing certificates) and ID-based public key cryptography (i.e., key escrow problem), simultaneously. A signcryption scheme is an important primitive in cryptographic protocols which ...
متن کاملInterpolation Attacks of the Block Cipher: SNAKE
This paper presents an efficient interpolation attack using a computer algebra system. The interpolation attack proposed by Jakobsen and Knudsen was shown to be effective for attacking ciphers that use simple algebraic functions. However, there was a problem that the complexity and the number of pairs of plaintexts and ciphertexts required for the attack can be overestimated. We solve this prob...
متن کاملPractical Evaluation of Security against Generalized Interpolation Attack
Interpolation attack was presented by Jakobsen and Knudsen at FSE’97. Interpolation attack is effective against ciphers that have a certain algebraic structure like the PURE cipher which is a prototype cipher, but it is difficult to apply the attack to real-world ciphers. This difficulty is due to the difficulty of deriving a low degree polynomial relation between ciphertexts and plaintexts. In...
