  2. 1. Some results on fast correlation attacks

    Author : Fredrik Jönsson; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Technological sciences; stream ciphers; linear feedback shift registers; cryptology; correlation attacks; cryptanalysis; Teknik; Informatics; systems theory; Informatik; systemteori;

    Abstract : This thesis presents new results on fast correlation attacks on stream ciphers. In particular, fast correlation attacks on stream ciphers containing linear shift registers with an arbitrary number of taps, are considered. A general introduction to stream ciphers and correlation attacks is given. READ MORE

  4. 2. On Some Symmetric Lightweight Cryptographic Designs

    Author : Martin Ågren; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Lightweight cryptography; integrity; authentication; symmetric cryptography; stream ciphers; block ciphers; Grain-128a; BEAN; KTANTAN; textsc{PRINTcipher}; FCSR combiner; related-key attack; linear cryptanalysis; linear correlations; invariant subspace attack.;

    Abstract : This dissertation presents cryptanalysis of several symmetric lightweight primitives, both stream ciphers and block ciphers. Further, some aspects of authentication in combination with a keystream generator is investigated, and a new member of the Grain family of stream ciphers, Grain-128a, with built-in support for authentication is presented.

  5. 3. On the Design and Analysis of Stream Ciphers

    Author : Martin Hell; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; weak feedback polynomials; bit-search generator; self-shrinking generator; Achterbahn; Pomaranch; Grain-128; Grain; stream ciphers; cryptography; cryptanalysis; Informatics; systems theory; Informatik; systemteori;

    Abstract : This thesis presents new cryptanalysis results for several different stream cipher constructions. In addition, it also presents two new stream ciphers, both based on the same design principle. The first attack is a general attack targeting a nonlinear combiner. READ MORE

  6. 4. On LFSR based Stream Ciphers - analysis and design

    Author : Patrik Ekdahl; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; self-shrinking generator; shrinking generator; E0; A5; sober; stream cipher; LFSR; snow; Informatics; systems theory; Informatik; systemteori;

    Abstract : Stream ciphers are cryptographic primitives used to ensure privacy in digital communication. In this thesis we focus on stream ciphers built using Linear Feedback Shift Registers (LFSRs). Several different stream ciphers are analysed and new attacks are presented. In addition, two new stream ciphers are presented, both based on the same design. READ MORE

  7. 5. Distributed stream ciphers

    Author : Magnus Öberg; Ben Smeets; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Cryptographic operations are normally carried out by a single machine. Sometimes, however, this machine cannot be trusted completely. Threshold cryptography offers an alternative where the cryptographic operation is distributed to a group of machines in such a way that the key used in the cryptographic operation is not revealed to anyone.
