The Block Cipher Hierocrypt
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a nested (hierarchical) SPN structure and the symmetric block cipher “Hierocrypt”. In the nested SPN structure, lower-level SPN structures are recursively embedded into S-box positions in SPN of the higher level. This structure recursively assures the lower bound of active S-box number, and high security level is efficiently realized. The 8-round Hierocrypt is implemented in C language on Pentium III, and shows the middle-class performance of final AES candidates.

Analysis of Hierocrypt-3
This report presents the results of a limited time evaluation of the block cipher Hierocrypt-3. No flaws nor weaknesses have been identified in the design which could lead to cryptanalytic attacks with respect to the state-of-the-art. This report contains attacks which are better than the attacks reported by the designers. However, the security margin for Hierocrypt-3 with the proposed number o...
متن کاملImproved SQUARE Attacks against Reduced-Round HIEROCRYPT
We present improved Square attacks against the NESSIE and ECTP candidate block ciphers Hierocrypt-3 and Hierocrypt-L1, designed by Toshiba. We improve over the previous best known attack on five S-box layers of Hierocrypt-3 by a factor of 2 computational steps with an attack on six layers for 128-bit keys, and extend it to seven S-box layers for longer keys. For Hierocrypt-L1 we are able to imp...

Alghoritms: HIEROCRYPT-3, CAMELLIA and ANUBIS, GRAND CRU, NOEKEON, NUSH, Q, RC6, SAFER++128, SC2000, SHACAL were requested for the submission of block ciphers (high level block cipher) to NESSIE (New European Schemes for Signatures, Integrity, and Encryption) project. The main purpose of this project was to put forward a portfolio of strong cryptographic primitives of various types. The NESSIE ...
متن کاملMeet-in-the-Middle Attacks on Reduced-Round Hierocrypt-3
Hierocrypt-3 is an SPN-based block cipher designed by Toshiba Corporation. It operates on 128-bit state using either 128, 192 or 256bit key. In this paper, we present two meet-in-the-middle attacks in the single-key setting on the 4-round reduced Hierocrypt-3 with 256-bit key. The first attack is based on the differential enumeration approach where we propose a truncated differential characteri...
متن کاملImproved Key Recovery Attack on Round-reduced Hierocrypt-L1 in the Single-Key Setting
Hierocrypt-L1 is a 64-bit block cipher with a 128-bit key. It was selected among the Japanese e-Government 2003 recommended ciphers list and has been reselected in the 2013 candidate recommended ciphers list. In this work, we cryptanalyze Hierocrypt-L1 in the single-key setting. In particular, we construct a 5 S-box layers distinguisher that we utilize to launch a meet-in-the-middle attack on 8...
