Classical Misuse Attacks on NIST Round 2 PQC: The Power of Rank-Based Schemes

Serge Vaudenay, Loïs Evan Huguenin-Dumittan

The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently announced the public-key cryptosystems (PKC) that have passed to the second round of the post-quantum standardization process. Most of these PKC come in two flavours: a weak IND-CPA vers ...

Cryptanalysis of Plantlet

Subhadeep Banik, Khashayar Barooti

Plantlet is a lightweight stream cipher designed by Mikhalev, Armknecht and Muller in IACR ToSC 2017. It has a Grain-like structure with two state registers of size 40 and 61 bits. In spite of this, the cipher does not seem to lose in security against gene ...

Misuse Attacks on Post-quantum Cryptosystems

Serge Vaudenay, Loïs Evan Huguenin-Dumittan, Abdullah Talayhan, Fatma Betül Durak, Ciprian Baetu

Many post-quantum cryptosystems which have been proposed in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NISI) standardization process follow the same meta-algorithm, but in different algebras or different encoding methods. They usually propose two ...

A Study of Persistent Fault Analysis

Subhadeep Banik, Andrea Felice Caforio

Persistent faults mark a new class of injections that perturb lookup tables within block ciphers with the overall goal of recovering the encryption key. Unlike earlier fault types persistent faults remain intact over many encryptions until the affected dev ...

Provably Secure Authenticated Encryption

Damian Vizár

Authenticated Encryption (AE) is a symmetric key cryptographic primitive that ensures confidentiality and authenticity of processed messages at the same time. The research of AE as a primitive in its own right started in 2000. The security goals of AE wer ...

Some Cryptanalytic Results on Lizard

Subhadeep Banik

Lizard is a lightweight stream cipher proposed by Hamann, Krause and Meier in IACR ToSC 2017. It has a Grain-like structure with two state registers of size 90 and 31 bits. The cipher uses a 120 bit secret key and a 64 bit IV. The authors claim that Lizard ...

Promises and challenges of perovskite solar cells

Michael Graetzel, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Michael Saliba, Antonio Abate, Juan-Pablo Correa-Baena

The efficiencies of perovskite solar cells have gone from single digits to a certified 22.1% in a few years' time. At this stage of their development, the key issues concern how to achieve further improvements in efficiency and long-term stability. We revi ...

On Tamper-Resistance from a Theoretical Viewpoint: The Power of Seals

Serge Vaudenay

Tamper-proof devices are pretty powerful. They can be used to have better security in applications. In this work we observe that they can also be maliciously used in order to defeat some common privacy protection mechanisms. We propose the theoretical mode ...

Smashing SQUASH-0

Serge Vaudenay, Khaled Ouafi

At the RFID Security Workshop 2007, Adi Shamir presented a new challenge-response protocol well suited for RFIDs, although based on the Rabin public-key cryptosystem. This protocol, which we call SQUASH-0, was using a linear mixing function which was subse ...

Cryptanalysis of the full MMB Block Cipher

Jorge Nakahara, Yue Sun

The block cipher MMB was designed by Daemen, Govaerts and Vandewalle, in 1993, as an alternative to the IDEA block cipher. We exploit and describe unusual properties of the modular multiplication in ZZ232 −1 , which lead to a diﬀerential attack on the full ...
