On Fibonacci Keystream Generators
نویسنده
چکیده
A number of keystream generators have been proposed which are based on Fibonacci sequences, and at least one has been elded. They are attractive in that they can use some of the security results from the theory of shift register based keystream generators, while running much more quickly in software. However, new designs bring new risks, and we show how a system proposed at last year's workshop, the Fibonacci Shrinking Genertor (FISH), can be broken by an opponent who knows a few thousand words of keystream. We then discuss how such attacks can be avoided, and present a new algorithm, PIKE, which is based on the A5 algorithm used in GSM telephones.

Simple Cellular Automata-Based Linear Models for the Shrinking Generator
Structural properties of two well-known families of keystream generators, Shrinking Generators and Cellular Automata, have been analyzed. Emphasis is on the equivalence of the binary sequences obtained from both kinds of generators. In fact, Shrinking Generators (SG) can be identified with a subset of linear Cellular Automata (mainly rule 90, rule 150 or a hybrid combination of both rules). The...
متن کاملBDD-Based Cryptanalysis of Keystream Generators
Many of the keystream generators which are used in practice are LFSR-based in the sense that they produce the keystream according to a rule y = C(L(x)), where L(x) denotes an internal linear bitstream, produced by a small number of parallel linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs), and C denotes some nonlinear compression function. We present an n2 time bounded attack, the FBDD-attack, against L...
متن کاملOpen Problems Related to Algebraic Attacks on Stream Ciphers
The recently developed algebraic attacks apply to all keystream generators whose internal state is updated by a linear transition function, including LFSR-based generators. Here, we describe this type of attacks and we present some open problems related to their complexity. We also investigate the design criteria which may guarantee a high resistance to algebraic attacks for keystream generator...
متن کاملLILI Keystream Generator
A family of keystream generators, called the LILI keystream generators, is proposed for use in stream cipher applications and the security of these generators is investigated with respect to currently known attacks. The design is simple and scalable, based on two binary linear feedback shift registers combined in a simple way, using both irregular clocking and nonlinear functions. The design pr...
متن کامل- 1 - Balanced Shrinking Generators
The shrinking generator is a keystream generator which is good for stream ciphers in wireless mobile communications, because it has simple structure and generates a keystream faster than other generators. Nevertheless, it has a serious disadvantage that its keystream is not balanced if they use primitive polynomials as their feedback polynomials. In this paper, we present a method to construct ...
