Submission to ECRYPT call for stream ciphers: the self-synchronizing stream cipher Mosquito
نویسنده
چکیده
In this document we specify and motivate the hardware-oriented self-synchronizing stream cipher Mosquito and the underlying cipher architecture and provide hardware implementation results. This stream cipher is a close variant of the cipher ΥΓ, described in [2]. ΥΓ in its turn was a corrected version of the cipher KNOT published in [1], removing the weaknesses that have lead to its breaking in [4].

Chosen-Ciphertext Attacks Against MOSQUITO
Self-Synchronizing Stream Ciphers (SSSC) are a particular class of symmetric encryption algorithms, such that the resynchronization is automatic, in case of error during the transmission of the ciphertext. In this paper, we extend the scope of chosen-ciphertext attacks against SSSC. Previous work in this area include the cryptanalysis of dedicated constructions, like KNOT, HBB or SSS. We go fur...
متن کاملCryptanalysis of Sfinks
Sfinks is an LFSR-based stream cipher submitted to ECRYPT call for stream ciphers by Braeken, Lano, Preneel et al. The designers of Sfinks do not to include any protection against algebraic attacks. They rely on the so called “Algebraic Immunity”, that relates to the complexity of a simple algebraic attack, and ignores other algebraic attacks. As a result, Sfinks is insecure.
متن کاملHardware Implementations for the ISO/IEC 18033-4:2005 Standard for Stream Ciphers
In this paper the FPGA implementations for four stream ciphers are presented. The two stream ciphers, MUGI and SNOW 2.0 are recently adopted by the International Organization for Standardization ISO/IEC 18033-4:2005 standard. The other two stream ciphers, MICKEY 128 and TRIVIUM have been submitted and are under consideration for the eSTREAM, the ECRYPT (European Network of Excellence for Crypto...
متن کاملLinear Cryptanalysis of the TSC Family of Stream Ciphers
In this paper, we introduce a new cryptanalysis method for stream ciphers based on T-functions and apply it to the TSC family which was proposed by Hong et al.. Our attack are based on linear approximations of the algorithms (in particular of the T-function). Hence, it is related to correlation attack, a popular technique to break stream ciphers with a linear update, like those using LFSR’s. We...
متن کاملChosen Ciphertext Attack on a New Class of Self-Synchronizing Stream Ciphers
At Indocrypt’2002, Arnault et al. proposed a new class of self-synchronizing stream ciphers combining LFSR and FCSR architectures. It was claimed to be resistant to known attacks. In this paper, we show that such a self-synchronizing stream cipher is extremely vulnerable to chosen ciphertext attack. We can restore the secret keys easily from one chosen ciphertext with little computation. For th...
