Power Yoga: Variable-Stretch Security of CCM for Energy-Efficient Lightweight IoT

Reza Reyhanitabar, Damian Vizár, Emiljano Gjiriti

The currently ongoing NIST LWC project aims at identifying new standardization targets for lightweight authenticated encryption with associated data (AEAD) and (optionally) lightweight cryptographic hashing. NIST has deemed it important for performance and ...

Can Caesar Beat Galois?

Serge Vaudenay, Damian Vizár

The Competition for Authenticated Encryption: Security, Applicability and Robustness (CAESAR) has as its official goal to “identify a portfolio of authenticated ciphers that offer advantages over [the Galois-Counter Mode with AES]” and are suitable for wid ...

Cryptanalysis of Enhanced MORE

Serge Vaudenay, Damian Vizár

Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) has been among the most popular research topics of the last decade. While the bootstrapping-based, public key cryptosystems that follow Gentry's original design are getting more and more efficient, their performance is st ...

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 ...

Linking Online Misuse-Resistant Authenticated Encryption and Blockwise Attack Models

Damian Vizár

Real-world applications of authenticated encryption often require the encryption to be computable online, e.g. to compute the ith block of ciphertext after having processed the first i blocks of plaintext. A significant line of research was dedicated to id ...

Authenticated Encryption with Variable Stretch

Serge Vaudenay, Reza Reyhanitabar, Damian Vizár

In conventional authenticated-encryption (AE) schemes, the ciphertext expansion, a.k.a.stretch or tag length, is a constant or a parameter of the scheme that must be fixed per key. However, using variable-length tags per key can be desirable in practice or ...

Online Authenticated-Encryption and its Nonce-Reuse Misuse-Resistance

Reza Reyhanitabar, Damian Vizár

A definition of online authenticated-encryption (OAE), call it OAE1, was given by Fleischmann, Forler, and Lucks (2012). It has become a popular definitional target because, despite allowing encryption to be online, security is supposed to be maintained ev ...

Boosting OMD for Almost Free Authentication of Associated Data

Serge Vaudenay, Reza Reyhanitabar, Damian Vizár

We propose pure OMD (p-OMD) as a new variant of the Offset Merkle-Damgård (OMD) authenticated encryption scheme. Our new scheme inherits all desirable security features of OMD while having a more compact structure and providing higher efficiency. The origi ...

Cryptanalysis of chosen symmetric homomorphic schemes

Serge Vaudenay, Damian Vizár

Since Gentry’s breakthrough result was introduced in the year 2009, the homomorphic encryption has become a very popular topic. The main contribution of Gentry’s thesis was, that it has proven, that it actually is possible to design a fully homomorphic enc ...

Security of Full-State Keyed Sponge and Duplex: Applications to Authenticated Encryption

Reza Reyhanitabar, Damian Vizár

We provide a security analysis for full-state keyed Sponge and full-state Duplex constructions. Our results can be used for making a large class of Sponge-based authenticated encryption schemes more efficient by concurrent absorption of associated data and ...

OMD: A Compression Function Mode of Operation for Authenticated Encryption

Serge Vaudenay, Reza Reyhanitabar, Damian Vizár

We propose the Offset Merkle-Damgård (OMD) scheme, a mode of operation to use a compression function for building a nonce-based authenticated encryption with associated data. In OMD, the parts responsible for privacy and authenticity are tightly coupled to ...

Misuse-Resistant Variants of the OMD Authenticated Encryption Mode

Serge Vaudenay, Reza Reyhanitabar, Damian Vizár

We present two variants of OMD which are robust against nonce misuse. Security of OMD---a CAESAR candidate---relies on the assumption that implementations always ensure correct use of nonce (a.k.a. message number); namely that, the nonce never gets repeate ...
