With the rise of the Internet of Things, the security of such lightweight computing environments has become a hot topic. Lightweight block ciphers that can provide efficient performance and security by having a relatively simpler structure and smaller key and block sizes are drawing attention. Due to these characteristics, they can become a target for new attack techniques. One of the new cryptanalytic attacks that have been attracting interest is Neural cryptanalysis, which is a cryptanalytic technique based on neural networks. It showed interesting results with better results than the conventional cryptanalysis method without a great amount of time and cryptographic knowledge. The first work that showed good results was carried out by Aron Gohr in CRYPTO'19, the attack was conducted on the lightweight block cipher SPECK-/32/64 and showed better results than conventional differential cryptanalysis. In this paper, we first apply the Differential Neural Distinguisher proposed by Aron Gohr to the block ciphers HIGHT and GOST to test the applicability of the attack to ciphers with different structures. The performance of the Differential Neural Distinguisher is then analyzed by replacing the neural network attack model with five different models (Multi-Layer Perceptron, AlexNet, ResNext, SE-ResNet, SE-ResNext). We then propose a Related-key Neural Distinguisher and apply it to the SPECK-/32/64, HIGHT, and GOST block ciphers. The proposed Related-key Neural Distinguisher was constructed using the relationship between keys, and this made it possible to distinguish more rounds than the differential distinguisher.

연관 암호 공격은 키의 길이에 따라 가변 라운드 수를 갖는 블록 암호알고리즘의 키 스케줄의 약점을 이용한 공격으로 2002년 Hongjun Wu에 의해 소개되었다. 이 공격은 두 개의 서로 다른 키 길이에 대해 각기 다른 라운드 수를 갖는 두 암호에서 사용되는 키 쌍이 유사-동치키일 경우에 적용되는 공격이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 연관 암호 공격을 블록 암호알고리즘의 가장 강력한 공격 방법인 차분 공격과 결합한 차분 연관 암호 공격의 개념을 제시한다. 차분 연관 암호 공격은 기존의 연관 암호 공격에서 라운드 수의 차이가 커짐에 따라 공격 적용의 어려움을 극복한 방법이다. 이 공격법을 이용하여 블록 암호알고리즘 ARIA v.0.9와 SC2000을 분석한다. 또한, 차분 공격 뿐 아니라 선형 공격. 고계 차분 공격 등과 같은 기존의 블록 암호알고리즘 공격들과 연관 암호 공격이 결합 가능함을 이용하여, 가변 라운드 수존 갖는 블록 암호알고리즘인 SAFER++와 CAST-128을 분석한다.

Impossible Differential Cryptanalysis (IDC) uses impossible differentials to discard wrong subkeys for the first or the last several rounds of block ciphers. Thus, the security of a block cipher against IDC can be evaluated by impossible differentials. This paper studies impossible differentials for Rijndael-like and 3D-like ciphers, we introduce methods to find 4-round impossible differentials of Rijndael-like ciphers and 6-round impossible differentials of 3D-like ciphers. Using our methods, various new impossible differentials of Rijndael and 3D could be searched out.

Integral cryptanalysis, which is based on the existence of (higher-order) integral distinguishers, is a powerful cryptographic method that can be used to evaluate the security of modern block ciphers. In this paper, we focus on substitution-permutation network (SPN) ciphers and propose a criterion to characterize how an r-round integral distinguisher can be extended to an (r+1)-round higher-order integral distinguisher. This criterion, which builds a link between integrals and higher-order integrals of SPN ciphers, is in fact based on the theory of direct decomposition of a linear space defined by the linear mapping of the cipher. It can be directly utilized to unify the procedure for finding 4-round higher-order integral distinguishers of AES and ARIA and can be further extended to analyze higher-order integral distinguishers of various block cipher structures. We hope that the criterion presented in this paper will benefit the cryptanalysts and may thus lead to better cryptanalytic results.

Impossible differential cryptanalysis is an essential cryptanalytic technique and its key point is whether there is an impossible differential path. The main factor of influencing impossible differential cryptanalysis is the length of the rounds of the impossible differential trail because the attack will be more close to the real encryption algorithm with the number becoming longer. We provide the upper bound of the longest impossible differential trails of several important block ciphers. We first analyse the national standard of the Russian Federation in 2015, Kuznyechik, which utilizes the 16-byte LFSR to achieve the linear transformation. We conclude that there is no any 3-round impossible differential trail of the Kuznyechik without the consideration of the specific S-boxes. Then we ascertain the longest impossible differential paths of several other important block ciphers by using the matrix method which can be extended to many other block ciphers. As a result, we show that, unless considering the details of the S-boxes, there is no any more than or equal to 5-round, 7-round and 9-round impossible differential paths for KLEIN, Midori64 and MIBS respectively.

A lot of Internet of Things devices has resource-restricted environment, so it is difficult to implement the existing block ciphers such as AES, PRESENT. By this reason, there are lightweight block ciphers, such as SIMON, SPECK, and Simeck, support various block/key sizes. These lightweight block ciphers can support the security on the IoT devices. In this paper, we propose efficient implementation methods and performance results for the Simeck family block cipher proposed in CHES 2015 on an 8-bit ATmega128-based STK600 board. The proposed methods can be adapted in the 8-bit microprocessor environment such as Arduino series which are one of famous devices for IoT application. The optimized on-the-fly (OTF) speed is on average 14.42 times faster and the optimized OTF memory is 1.53 times smaller than those obtained in the previous research. The speed-optimized encryption and the memory-optimized encryption are on average 12.98 times faster and 1.3 times smaller than those obtained in the previous studies, respectively.

차분 공격 및 선형 공격은 강력한 블록 암호 분석 기법으로 블록 암호 알고리즘의 안전성을 평가하는 중요한 도구로 여겨지고 있다. 따라서 블록 암호 설계자들은 차분 공격과 선형 공격에 안전한 블록 암호를 설계하고자 노력해 왔다. 본 논문에서는 세 가지의 새로운 블록 암호 구조를 소개하며, 한 라운드 함수의 최대 차분 구확률(최대 선형 확률)이 p(q)이고 라운드 함수가 전단사 함수일 때, 세 가지의 블록 암호 구조의 차분 확률(선형 확률)의 상한 값이 $p^2(q^2),\;2p^2(2q^2)$으로 유계할 최소 라운드를 증명한다.

In modern block ciphers, S-box plays a very important role in the secrets of symmetric encryption algorithms. Many popular block ciphers have adopted various S-Boxes to design better S-Boxes. Among the researches, Jin et al. proposed a simple scheme to create a new S-box from Rijndael S-box. Only one of the new S-boxes for 29 is a bijection with a better algebraic representation than the original. Therefore, they asked a few questions. In this paper, we answer the following question : When the resulting S-box is bijection?

DC 및 LC에 대하여 증명 가능한 안전성을 제공하는 2-블록 구조를 라운드 함수의 위치에 따라 서 C(Center)-형 R(Right)형 L(Left)-형으로 구분하고 각각에 대한 고차 차분 공격 측면의 안전성을 분 석한다. 4라운드 암호화 함수인 경우 세가지 2-블록 구조는 고차 차분 공격에 대하여 동일 한 안전성을 제공한다는 사실을 증명하며 5라운드 이상의 암호화 함수에 대해서는 병렬 연산이 가능한 R-형 구조가 C-형과 l-형에 비해서 계산 효율성은 높지만 고차 차분 공격 측면의 안전성은 떨어진다는 사실을 밝힌 다. We study on the security for the block ciphers with 20block structure which have provable security against DC and LC on the view point of higher order DC, 2-block structures are classified three types according to the location of round function such as C(Center)-type R(Right)-type and L(Left)-type We prove that in the case of 4 rounds encryption function these three types provide the equal strength against higher order DC and that in the case of 5 or more rounds R-type is weaker than C-type and L-type.
