Automated Cryptanalysis

چکیده
Classical ciphers are used to encrypt plaintext messages written in a natural language in such a way that they are readable for sender or intended recipient only. Many classical ciphers can be broken by brute-force search through the key-space. One of the pertinent problems arising in automated cryptanalysis is the plaintext recognition. A computer should be able to decide which of many possible decrypts are meaningful. This can be accomplished by means of a text scoring function, based, e.g. on n-grams or other text statistics. A scoring function can also be used in conjunction with AI methods to speedup cryptanalysis.

A Search-Based Tool for the Automated Cryptanalysis of Classical Ciphers
The field of classical cryptography encompasses various forms of simple pen-and-paper ciphers that were in widespread use until the early 20th century. Although these ciphers have long been surpassed by modern cryptographic systems, they can still be challenging to break using manual methods alone. Indeed, there exist several well-known classically-encrypted cryptograms which, at present, remai...
متن کاملA New Challenge for Automated Reasoning : Veri cation and Cryptanalysis of
The veriication of security properties is one of the key issues of computer science and automated reasoning tools play a key role in the high level veriication of cryptographic protocols. Yet almost nobody uses these reasoning tools for the veriication and cryptanalysis of the algorithms upon which these protocols are based. In this paper we advocate that it is possible to use logic to encode t...
متن کاملImpossible Differential Cryptanalysis on Deoxys-BC-256
Deoxys is a final-round candidate of the CAESAR competition. Deoxys is built upon an internal tweakable block cipher Deoxys-BC, where in addition to the plaintext and key, it takes an extra non-secret input called a tweak. This paper presents the first impossible differential cryptanalysis of Deoxys-BC-256 which is used in Deoxys as an internal tweakable block cipher. First, we find a 4.5-round...
متن کاملA new method for accelerating impossible differential cryptanalysis and its application on LBlock
Impossible differential cryptanalysis, the extension of differential cryptanalysis, is one of the most efficient attacks against block ciphers. This cryptanalysis method has been applied to most of the block ciphers and has shown significant results. Using structures, key schedule considerations, early abort, and pre-computation are some common methods to reduce complexities of this attack. In ...
متن کاملAn Automated Tool for Rotational-XOR Cryptanalysis of ARX-based Primitives
In ARX structures, constants that are not rotational invariant are often injected into the state, in the form of round constants or as a result of using a fixed key. Rotational cryptanalysis cannot deal with such constants. Rotational cryptanalysis in the presence of constants, also known as rotational-XOR cryptanalysis, is a recently proposed statistical technique to attack ARX primitives. The...
متن کاملAutomated Cryptanalysis of Classical Ciphers
Classical ciphers are used to encrypt plaintext messages written in a natural language in such a way that they are readable for sender or intended recipient only. Many classical ciphers can be broken by brute-force search through the key-space. Methods of artificial intelligence, such as optimization heuristics, can be used to narrow the search space, to speed-up text processing and text recogn...
