The Digital Video Broadcasting-Common Scrambling Algorithm is an ETSI-designated algorithm designed for protecting MPEG-2 signal streams, and it is universally used. Its structure is a typical hybrid symmetric cipher which contains stream part and block part within a symmetric cipher, although the entropy is 64 bits, there haven't any effective cryptanalytic results up to now. This paper studies the security level of CSA against impossible differential cryptanalysis, a 20-round impossible differential for the block cipher part is proposed and a flaw in the cipher structure is revealed. When we attack the block cipher part alone, to recover 16 bits of the initial key, the data complexity of the attack is O(2^44.5), computational complexity is O(2^22.7) and memory complexity is O(2^10.5) when we attack CSA-BC reduced to 21 rounds. According to the structure flaw, an attack on CSA with block cipher part reduced to 21 rounds is proposed, the computational complexity is O(2^21.7), data complexity is O(2^43.5) and memory complexity is O(2^10.5), we can recover 8 bits of the key accordingly. Taking both the block cipher part and stream cipher part of CSA into consideration, it is currently the best result on CSA which is accessible as far as we know.

We have developed a 128-bit stream cipher algorithm composed of the 5-stage pipeline, capable of real-time processing, confidentiality and integrity. The developed stream cipher is a stream cipher algorithm that makes the final 128-bit ciphers through a whitening process after making the ASR 277 bit and SHACAL-2 and applying them to the CFB mode. We have verified the hardware performance of the proposed stream cipher algorithm with Modelsim 6.5d and Quartus II 12.0, and the result shows that the hardware runs at 33.34Mhz(4.27Gbps) at worst case. According to the result, the new cipher algorithm has fully satisfied the speed requirement of wireless Internet and sensor networks, and DRM environment. Therefore, the proposed algorithm with satisfaction of both confidentiality and integrity provides a very useful ideas.

Stream cipher was worse than block cipher in terms of security, but faster in execution speed as an advantage. However, since so far there have been many algorithm researches about the execution speed of block cipher, these days, there is almost no difference between them in the execution speed of AES. Therefore an secure and fast stream cipher development is urgently needed. In this paper, we propose a 32bit output fast stream cipher, AA32, which is composed of ASR(Arithmetic Shifter Register) and simple logical operation. Proposed algorithm is a cipher algorithm which has been designed to be implemented by software easily. AA32 supports 128bit key and executes operations by word and byte unit. As Linear Feedback Sequencer, ASR 151bit is applied to AA32 and the reduction function is a very simple structure stream cipher, which consists of two major parts, using simple logical operations, instead of S-Box for a non-linear operation. The proposed stream cipher AA32 shows the result that it is faster than SSC2 and Salsa20 and satisfied with the security required for these days. Proposed cipher algorithm is a fast stream cipher algorithm which can be used in the field which requires wireless internet environment such as mobile phone system and real-time processing such as DRM(Digital Right Management) and limited computational environments such as WSN(Wireless Sensor Network).

As the use of Internet and information communication technology is being generalized, the SSL protocol is essential in Internet because the important data should be transferred securely. While the SSL protocol is designed to defend from active attack such as message forgery and message alteration, the cipher suite setting can be easily modified. If the attacker draw on a malfunction of the client system and modify the cipher suite setting to the symmetric key algorithm which has short key length, he should eavesdrop and cryptanalysis the encrypt data. In this paper, we examine the domestic web site whether they generate the security session through the symmetric key algorithm which has short key length and propose the solution of the cipher suite setting problem.

In this paper, we suggest the design of 128bit block cipher which is provable security based on mathematics theory. We have derived the 16$\times$16 matrix(i.e.,linear transformation) which is numerous active S-box, and we proved for DC and LC which prove method about security of SPN structure cipher algorithm. Also, the minimum number of active S-box, the maximum differential probabilities and the maximum linear probabilities in round function of 128bit block cipher algorithm which has an effect to DC and LC are derived.

The LEA(Lightweight Encryption Algorithm) is a 128-bit high-speed/lightweight block cipher algorithm developed by National Security Research Institute(NSRI) in 2012. The LEA encrypts plain text of 128-bit using cipher key of 128/192/256-bit, and produces cipher text of 128-bit, and vice versa. To reduce hardware complexity, we propose an efficient architecture which shares hardware resources for encryption and decryption in round transformation block. Hardware sharing technique for key scheduler was also devised to achieve area-efficient and low-power implementation. The designed LEA cryptographic processor was verified by using FPGA implementation.

A RC4 stream cipher is widely used for security applications such as IEEE 802.11 WEP, IEEE 802.11i TKIP and so on, because it can be simply implemented to dedicated circuits and achieve a high-speed encryption. RC4 is also used for systems with limited resources like IoT, but there are performance limitations. RC4 consists of two stages, KSA and PRGA. KSA performs initialization and randomization of S-box and K-box and PRGA produces cipher texts using the randomized S-box. In this paper, we initialize the S-box and K-box in the randomization of the KSA stage to reduce the initialization delay. In the randomization, we use clusters to process swap operation between elements of S-box in parallel and can generate two cipher texts per clock. The proposed RC4 cipher hardware can initialize S-box and K-box without any delay and achieves about 2 times to 6 times improvement in KSA randomization and key stream generation.

This paper designs the ABC(Advanced Block Cipher) algorithm which is a 64byte block encryption algorithm, improves the performance of encryption process time, and makes an key exchange using EC-DH. The ABC algorithm reduces basic memory occupation rates using the original data position exchange method which is a data swap key without S-Box, IP-Box and etc. Also, it prepares the exposure of symmetric key using the unfixed encryption(decryption) key excepting the fixed encryption(decryption) key. Therefore, the proposed ABC algorithm in this paper is a proper encryption algorithm in lower memory environment and mobile banking.

In this paper, we propose a differential fault analysis on symmetry structured SPN block cipher proposed in 2008. The target algorithm has the SPN structure and a symmetric structure in encryption and decryption process. To recover the 128-bit secret key of the target algorithm, this attack requires only one random byte fault and an exhaustive search of $2^8$. This is the first known cryptanalytic result on the target algorithm.
