Differential Power Analysis of Stream Ciphers
Side-channel attacks on block ciphers and public key algorithms have been discussed extensively. However, there is only sparse literature about side-cannel attacks on stream cipher...

New Lower Bounds on Nonlinearity and a Class of Highly Nonlinear Functions
Abstract. Highly nonlinear Boolean functions occupy an important position in the design of secure block as well as stream ciphers. This paper proves two new lower bounds on the non...

Fast Correlation Attacks through Reconstruction of Linear Polynomials
The task of a fast correlation attack is to efficiently restore the initial content of a linear feedback shift register in a stream cipher using a detected correlation with the out...

Algebraic Attacks on Stream Ciphers with Linear Feedback
A classical construction of stream ciphers is to combine several LFSRs and a highly non-linear Boolean function f. Their security is usually analysed in terms of correlation attack...

Fast Algebraic Attacks on Stream Ciphers with Linear Feedback
Many popular stream ciphers apply a filter/combiner to the state of one or several LFSRs. Algebraic attacks on such ciphers [10, 11] are possible, if there is a multivariate relat...

General Principles of Algebraic Attacks and New Design Criteria for Cipher Components
This paper is about the design of multivariate public key schemes, as well as block and stream ciphers, in relation to recent attacks that exploit various types of multivariate alg...

Theoretical Analysis of XL over Small Fields
Abstract. XL was first introduced to solve determined or overdetermined systems of equations over a finite field as an “algebraic attack” against multivariate cryptosystems....

Weak Key Analysis and Micro-controller Implementation of CA Stream Ciphers
Abstract. In the paper we extend known results studying the application of CAs for stream ciphers. We illustrate the notion of weak keys in such a cryptosystem and describe the exp...

New Applications of T-Functions in Block Ciphers and Hash Functions
A T-function is a mapping from n-bit words to n-bit words in which for each 0 ≤ i < n, bit i of any output word can depend only on bits 0, 1, . . . , i of any input word. All ...

Analysis of the Bit-Search Generator and Sequence Compression Techniques
Abstract. Algebraic attacks on stream ciphers apply (at least theoretically) to all LFSR-based stream ciphers that are clocked in a simple and/or easily predictable way. One intere...
