We present a new block cipher called DyC. It consists of four sets (procedures) having the different $2^2,\;2^2,\;2^4$, and $2^8$ one-to-one correspondence functions as the elements. The round key is used to determine exactly one composite function from the possible $2^{16}$ composite functions. DyC supports 8 $\times$ n bit key size, 16 $\times$ m bit block length, and n rounds. We have confirmed that DyC offers security against other well-known advanced cryptanalytic attacks including the slide attacks and interpolation attacks. In this paper, we show several properties of the key schedule of DyC by mathematical analysis.

LBlock-s is the core block cipher of authentication encryption algorithm LAC, which uses the same structure of LBlock and an improved key schedule algorithm with better diffusion property. Using the differential properties of the key schedule algorithm and the cryptanalytic technique which combines impossible boomerang attacks with related-key attacks, a 15-round related-key impossible boomerang distinguisher is constructed for the first time. Based on the distinguisher, an attack on 22-round LBlock-s is proposed by adding 4 rounds on the top and 3 rounds at the bottom. The time complexity is about only 2^68.76 22-round encryptions and the data complexity is about 2⁵⁸ chosen plaintexts. Compared with published cryptanalysis results on LBlock-s, there has been a sharp decrease in time complexity and an ideal data complexity.

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.

Internet-of-Things (IoT) is an emerging technology that interconnects millions of small devices to enable communication between the devices. It is heavily deployed across small scale to large scale industries because of its wide range of applications. These devices are very capable of transferring data over the internet including critical data in few applications. Such data is exposed to various security threats and thereby raises privacy-related concerns. Even devices can be compromised by the attacker. Modern cryptographic algorithms running on traditional machines provide authentication, confidentiality, integrity, and non-repudiation in an easy manner. IoT devices have numerous constraints related to memory, storage, processors, operating systems and power. Researchers have proposed several hardware and software implementations for addressing security attacks in lightweight encryption mechanism. Several works have made on lightweight block ciphers for improving the confidentiality by means of providing security level against cryptanalysis techniques. With the advances in the cipher breaking techniques, it is important to increase the security level to much higher. This paper, focuses on securing the critical data that is being transmitted over the internet by PRESENT using key-based dynamic S-Box. Security analysis of the proposed algorithm against other lightweight block cipher shows a significant improvement against linear and differential attacks, biclique attack and avalanche effect. A novel key-based dynamic S-Box approach for PRESENT strongly withstands cryptanalytic attacks in the IoT Network.

The proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and applications, especially the rapid rise in the use of mobile devices, from individuals to organizations, has led to the fundamental role of secure wireless networks in all aspects of services that presented with many opportunities and challenges. To ensure the CIA (confidentiality, integrity and accessibility) security model of the networks security and high efficiency of performance results in various resource-constrained applications and environments of the IoT platform, DDO-(data-driven operation) based constructions have been introduced as a primitive design that meet the demand of high speed encryption systems. Among of them, the TMN-family ciphers which were proposed by Tuan P.M., Do Thi B., etc., in 2016, are entirely suitable approaches for various communication applications of wireless mobile networks (WMNs) and advanced wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with high flexibility, applicability and mobility shown in two different algorithm selections, TMN64 and TMN128. The two ciphers provide strong security against known cryptanalysis, such as linear attacks and differential attacks. In this study, we demonstrate new probability results on the security of the two TMN construction versions - TMN64 and TMN128, by proposing efficient related-key recovery attacks. The high probability characteristics (DCs) are constructed under the related-key differential properties on a full number of function rounds of TMN64 and TMN128, as 10-rounds and 12-rounds, respectively. Hence, the amplified boomerang attacks can be applied to break these two ciphers with appropriate complexity of data and time consumptions. The work is expected to be extended and improved with the latest BCT technique for better cryptanalytic results in further research.

In this paper, we propose a differential fault analysis on SSB having same structure in encryption and decryption proposed in 2011. The target algorithm was designed using advanced encryption standard and has advantage about hardware implementations. The differential fault analysis is one of side channel attacks, combination of the fault injection attacks with the differential cryptanalysis. Because SSB is suitable for hardware, it must be secure for the differential fault analysis. However, using proposed differential fault attack in this paper, we can recover the 128 bit secret key of SSB through only one random byte fault injection and an exhausted search of $2^8$. This is the first cryptanalytic result on SSB having same structure in encryption and decryption.

In this paper an efficient image encryption scheme based on cyclic rotations and multiple blockwise diffusions with two chaotic maps is proposed. A Sin map is used to generate round keys for the encryption/decryption process. A Pomeau-Manneville map is used to generate chaotic values for permutation, pixel value rotation and diffusion operations. The encryption scheme is composed of three stages: permutation, pixel value rotation and diffusion. The permutation stage performs four operations on the image: row shuffling, column shuffling, cyclic rotation of all the rows and cyclic rotation of all the columns. This stage reduces the correlation significantly among neighboring pixels. The second stage performs circular rotation of pixel values twice by scanning the image horizontally and vertically. The amount of rotation is based on $M{\times}N$ chaotic values. The last stage performs the diffusion four times by scanning the image in four different ways: block of $8{\times}8$ pixels, block of $16{\times}16$ pixels, principal diagonally, and secondary diagonally. Each of the above four diffusions performs the diffusion in two directions (forwards and backwards) with two previously diffused pixels and two chaotic values. This stage makes the scheme resistant to differential attacks. The security and performance of the proposed method is analyzed systematically by using the key space, entropy, statistical, differential and performance analysis. The experimental results confirm that the proposed method is computationally efficient with high security.

The power analysis attack is a cryptanalytic technique to retrieve an user's secret key using the side-channel power leakage occurred during the execution of cryptographic algorithm embedded on a physical device. Especially, many power analysis attacks have targeted on an exponentiation algorithm which is composed of hundreds of squarings and multiplications and adopted in public key cryptosystem such as RSA. Recently, a new correlation power attack, which is tried when two modular multiplications have a same input, is proposed in order to recover secret key. In this paper, after reviewing the principle of side-channel attack based on input collisions in modular multiplications, we analyze the vulnerability of some exponentiation algorithms having regularity property. Furthermore, we present an improved exponentiation countermeasure to resist against the input collision-based CPA(Correlation Power Analysis) attack and existing side channel attacks and compare its security with other countermeasures.

In this paper, we propose a differential fault analysis on symmetric SPN block cipher with bitslice involution S-box in 2011. The target block cipher was designed using AES block cipher and has advantage about restricted hardware and software environment using the same structure in encryption and decryption. Therefore, the target block cipher must be secure for the side-channel attacks. However, to recover the 128-bit secret key of the targer block cipher, this attack requires only one random byte fault and an exhausted search of $2^8$. This is the first known cryptanalytic result on the target block cipher.

Knapsack public-key cryptosystems are based on the knapsack problem which is NP-complete. aii of the knapsack problem, are known to be insecure. However, the Chor and Rivest knapsack cryptosystem based on arithmetic in finite field is secure against all known cryptosystem based on arithmetic in a finite field is secure against all known cryptanalytic attacks. We suggest a new msthod of attack on knapsack cryptosystem which is based on the relaxation of a quadratic 0-1 integer optimization problem. We show that under certain condirions some bits of the solution of knapsack problem can be determined by using persistency property of linear relaxation. Also we propose a new Chor-Rivest system, this new cryptosystem reduces the number of calculation of discrete logarithms which are necessary for the implemention in a multi-user system.
