Cryptanalysis of a Pseudorandom Generator Based on Braid Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that the decisional version of the Ko-Lee assumption for braid groups put forward by Lee, Lee and Hahn at Crypto 2001 is false, by giving an efficient algorithm that solves (with high probability) the corresponding decisional problem. Our attack immediately applies to the pseudo-random generator and synthesizer proposed by the same authors based on the decisional Ko-Lee assumption, and shows that neither of them is cryptographically secure.

Pseudorandomness from Braid Groups
Recently the braid groups were introduced as a new source for cryptography. The group operations are performed efficiently and the features are quite different from those of other cryptographically popular groups. As the first step to put the braid groups into the area of pseudorandomness, this article presents some cryptographic primitives under two related assumptions in braid groups. First, ...
متن کاملYet Another Pseudorandom Number Generator
We propose a novel pseudorandom number generator based on Rössler attractor and bent Boolean function. We estimated the output bits properties by number of statistical tests. The results of the cryptanalysis show that the new pseudorandom number generation scheme provides a high level of data security. Keywords—Rössler attractor, bent Boolean function, pseudorandom number generator.
متن کاملA Strength Evaluation of a Pseudorandom Number Generator MUGI against Linear Cryptanalysis
This paper reports the strength of a pseudorandom number generator MUGI, which was published as a stream cipher by Hitachi, Ltd. in 2001, against linear cryptanalysis. MUGI is one of the recommended ciphers of CRYPTREC, which is a project for the e-Government in Japan. It has two internal states called state and buffer, which are updated by a linear function λ and a non-linear function ρ. The n...
متن کاملCryptanalysis of LFSR-based Pseudorandom Generators - a Survey
Pseudorandom generators based on linear feedback shift registers (LFSR) are a traditional building block for cryptographic stream ciphers. In this report, we review the general idea for such generators, as well as the most important techniques of cryptanalysis.
متن کاملPseudorandom Permutation Families over Abelian Groups
We propose a general framework for differential and linear cryptanalysis of block ciphers when the block is not a bitstring. We prove piling-up lemmas for the generalized differential probability and the linear potential, and we study their lower bounds and average value, in particular in the case of permutations of Fp. Using this framework, we describe a toy cipher, that operates on blocks of ...
