A 32-bit RC4-like Keystream Generator
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a new 32-bit RC4 like keystream generator. The proposed generator produces 32 bits in each iteration and can be implemented in software with reasonable memory requirements. Our experiments show that this generator is 3.2 times faster than original 8-bit RC4. It has a huge internal state and offers higher resistance against state recovery attacks than the original 8-bit RC4. We analyze the randomness properties of the generator using a probabilistic approach. The generator is suitable for high speed software encryption.

Towards a General RC4-Like Keystream Generator
RC4 was designed in 1987 when 8-bit and 16-bit processors were commercially available. Today, most processors use 32-bit or 64bit words but using original RC4 with 32/64 bits is infeasible due to the large memory constraints and the number of operations in the key scheduling algorithm. In this paper we propose a new 32/64-bit RC4like keystream generator. The proposed generator produces 32 or 64...
متن کاملCryptanalysis of a 32-bit RC4-like Stream Cipher
Nawaz, Gupta and Gong recently proposed a 32-bit RC4-like stream cipher. In this paper, we show that the keystream generated from their stream cipher is not random. The keystream can be distinguished from random with only about 100 outputs (3200 bits) in 2 milliseconds on Intel Centrino 1.6GHz processor.
متن کاملLinear models for a time-variant permutation generator
A keystream generator, known as RC4, consisting of a permutation table that slowly varies in time under the control of itself, is analyzed by the linear model approach. The objective is to find linear relations among the keystream bits that hold with probability different from one half by using the linear sequential circuit approximation method. To estimate the corresponding correlation coeffic...
متن کاملA New Weakness in the RC4 Keystream Generator and an Approach to Improve the Security of the Cipher
The paper presents a new statistical bias in the distribution of the first two output bytes of the RC4 keystream generator. The number of outputs required to reliably distinguish RC4 outputs from random strings using this bias is only 2 bytes. Most importantly, the bias does not disappear even if the initial 256 bytes are dropped. This paper also proposes a new pseudorandom bit generator, named...
متن کاملVMPC-R Cryptographically Secure Pseudo-Random Number Generator Alternative to RC4
We present a new Cryptographically Secure Pseudo-Random Number Generator. It uses permutations as its internal state, similarly to the RC4 stream cipher. We describe a statistical test which revealed non-random patterns in a sample of 2 outputs of a 3-bit RC4. Our new algorithm produced 2 undistinguishable from random 3-bit outputs in the same test. We probed 2 outputs of the algorithm in diffe...
