    Designing S-Boxes Providing Stronger Security Against Differential Cryptanalysis for Ciphers Using Byte-Wise XOR

    In this paper, we develop an S-box designing method by considering an interplay between an S-box and a linear layer, which enhances security against differential cryptanalysis. The basic idea can be found in b...

    PRINCEv2

    In this work, we propose tweaks to the PRINCE block cipher that help us to increase its security without changing the number of rounds or round operations. We get substantially higher security for the same comple...

    Massive Superpoly Recovery with Nested Monomial Predictions

    Determining the exact algebraic structure or some partial information of the superpoly for a given cube is a necessary step in the cube attack – a generic cryptanalytic technique for symmetric-key primitives ...

    Strong and Tight Security Guarantees Against Integral Distinguishers

    Integral attacks belong to the classical attack vectors against any given block ciphers. However, providing arguments that a given cipher is resistant against those attacks is notoriously difficult. In this p...

    Lower Bounds on the Degree of Block Ciphers

    Only the method to estimate the upper bound of the algebraic degree on block ciphers is known so far, but it is not useful for the designer to guarantee the security. In this paper we provide meaningful lower...

    Modeling for Three-Subset Division Property Without Unknown Subset

    A division property is a generic tool to search for integral distinguishers, and automatic tools such as MILP or SAT/SMT allow us to evaluate the propagation efficiently. In the application to stream ciphers,...

    Out of Oddity – New Cryptanalytic Techniques Against Symmetric Primitives Optimized for Integrity Proof Systems

    The security and performance of many integrity proof systems like SNARKs, STARKs and Bulletproofs highly depend on the underlying hash function. For this reason several new proposals have recently been develop...

    Improved Differential-Linear Attacks with Applications to ARX Ciphers

    We present several improvements to the framework of differential-linear attacks with a special focus on ARX ciphers. As a demonstration of their impact, we apply them to Chaskey and ChaCha and we are able to s...

    Cube Attacks on Non-Blackbox Polynomials Based on Division Property

    The cube attack is a powerful cryptanalytic technique and is especially powerful against stream ciphers. Since we need to analyze the complicated structure of a stream cipher in the cube attack, the cube attac...
