As two important cryptanalytic methods, impossible differential and integral cryptanalysis have attracted much attention in recent years. Although relations among other cryptanalytic approaches have been investigated, the link between these two methods has been missing. The motivation in this paper is to fix this gap and establish links between impossible differential cryptanalysis and integral cryptanalysis. […]
In this paper we analyse two variants of SIMON family of light-weight block ciphers against variants of linear cryptanalysis and present the best linear cryptanalytic results on these variants of reduced-round SIMON to date. We propose a time-memory trade-off method that finds differential/linear trails for any permutation allowing low Hamming weight differential/linear trails. Our method […]
SIMON is a family of 10 lightweight block ciphers published by Beaulieu et al. from the United States National Security Agency (NSA). A cipher in this family with K-bit key and N-bit block is called SIMONN/K. We present several linear characteristics for reduced-round SIMON32/64 that can be used for a key-recovery attack and extend them […]
SIMON is a family of ten lightweight block ciphers published by Beaulieu et al. from U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). In this paper we investigate the security of SIMON against different variants of linear cryptanalysis techniques, i.e. classical and multiple linear cryptanalysis and linear hulls. We present a connection between linear- and differential characteristics as […]
Recently, the U.S National Security Agency has published the specifications of two families of lightweight block ciphers, SIMON and SPECK, in ePrint report 2013/404. The ciphers are developed with optimization towards both hardware and software in mind. While the specification paper discusses design requirements and performance of the presented lightweight ciphers thoroughly, no security assessment […]
At CHES 2010, the new block cipher PRINTCIPHER was presented as a light-weight encryption solution for printable circuits [15]. The best attack to date is a differential attack [1] that breaks less than half of the rounds. In this paper, we will present a new attack called invariant subspace attack that breaks the full cipher […]
