A New Version of the Stream Cipher SNOW
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 2000, the stream cipher SNOW was proposed. A few attacks followed, indicating certain weaknesses in the design. In this paper we propose a new version of SNOW, called SNOW 2.0. The new version of the cipher does not only appear to be more secure, but its implementation is also a bit faster in software.

Analysis of LFSR Based Snow Family against Guess and Determine Attack
Stream Cipher is a cryptographic primitive that is used to make sure privacy on a communication channel. SNOW family is a typical example of word oriented stream ciphers based on Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR). In this paper two versions of SNOW family have been analyzed against Guess and Determine (GD) Attack. Original SNOW 2.0 is an improved version of SNOW 1.0 claimed to be more secur...
متن کاملResistance of SNOW 2.0 Against Algebraic Attacks
SNOW 2.0, a software oriented stream cipher proposed by T. Johansson and P. Ekdahl in 2002 as an enhanced version of the NESSIE finalist SNOW 1.0, is usually considered as one of the strongest stream ciphers designed so far. This paper investigates the resistance of SNOW 2.0 against algebraic attacks. This is motivated by the fact that the main source of non-linearity in SNOW 2.0 comes from a p...
متن کاملThe New Heuristic Guess and Determine Attack on Snow 2.0 Stream Cipher
SNOW 2.0 is a word oriented stream cipher that has been selected as a standard stream cipher on ISO/IEC 18033-4. One of the general attacks on the stream ciphers is Guess and Determine attack. Heuristic GD attack is GD attack that represents an algorithmic method to analysis the stream cipher with the variables of the same size. The results of HGD attack on TIPSY, SNOW 1.0 and SNOW 2.0 stream c...
متن کاملSNOW - a new stream cipher?
In this paper a new word-oriented stream cipher, called SNOW, is proposed. The design of the cipher is quite simple, consisting of a linear feedback shift register, feeding a nite state machine. The design goals of producing a stream cipher signi cantly faster than AES, with signi cantly lower implementation costs in hardware, and a security level similar to AES is currently met. Our fastest C ...
