Conditional differential attack against NFSR-based cryptosystems proposed by Knellwolf et al. in Asiacrypt 2010 has been widely used for analyzing round-reduced Grain v1. In this paper, we present improved conditional differential attacks on Grain v1 based on a factorization simplification method, which makes it possible to obtain the expressions of internal states in more rounds and analyze the expressions more precisely. Following a condition-imposing strategy that saves more IV bits, Sarkar's distinguishing attack on Grain v1 of 106 rounds is improved to a key recovery attack. Moreover, we show new distinguishing attack and key recovery attack on Grain v1 of 107 rounds with lower complexity O($2^{34}$) and appreciable theoretical success probability 93.7%. Most importantly, our attacks can practically recover key expressions with higher success probability than theoretical results.

This paper introduces a new type of collision attack on first-order masked Advanced Encryption Standards. This attack is a known-plaintext attack, while the existing collision attacks are chosen-plaintext attacks. In addition, our method requires significantly fewer power measurements than any second-order differential power analysis or existing collision attacks.

Impossible differential attacks on AES have been proposed up to 6-round which requires $2^{91.5}$ chosen plaintexts and $2^{122}$ 6-round AES encryptions. In this paper, we introduce various 4-round impossible differentials and using them, we propose improved impossible differential attacks on 6-round AES. The current attacks require $2^{83.4}$ chosen plaintexts and $2^{105.4}$ 6-round AES encryptions to retrieve 11 bytes of the first and the last round keys.

The block cipher Zorro is designed to reduce the implementation cost for side-channel countermeasure. It has a structure similar to AES, but the number of S-Boxes used is small. However, since the master key is used as the round key, it can be vulnerable to related key attacks. In this paper, we show key recovery attacks on Zorro using related-key differential characteristics. In addition, the related key differential characteristics are fatal when Zorro is used as the base block cipher of the hash function. In this paper, we describe how these characteristics can be linked to collision attacks in the PGV models.

Side-channel attacks pose an inevitable challenge to the implementation of cryptographic algorithms, and it is important to mitigate them. This work identifies a novel data encoding technique based on 1-of-4 codes to resist differential power analysis attacks, which is the most investigated category of side-channel attacks. The four code words of the 1-of-4 codes, namely (0001, 0010, 1000, and 0100), are split into two sets: set-0 and set-1. Using a select signal, the data processed in hardware is switched between the two encoding sets alternately such that the Hamming weight and Hamming distance are equalized. As a case study, the proposed technique is validated for the NIST standard AES-128 cipher. The proposed technique resists differential power analysis performed using statistical methods, namely correlation, mutual information, difference of means, and Welch's t-test based on the Hamming weight and distance models. The experimental results show that the proposed countermeasure has an area overhead of 2.3× with no performance degradation comparatively.

In this paper we present related-key differential attacks on the block-wise stream cipher TWOPRIME. We construct various related-key differentials of TWOPRIME and use them to show that recovering related keys of TWOPRIME can be performed with a data complexity of $2^{14}$ known plaintext blocks and a time complexity of $2^{38}$ 8-bit table lookups.

In this paper, we first investigate the side channel analysis attack resistance of various FPGA hardware implementations of the ARIA block cipher. The analysis is performed on an FPGA test board dedicated to side channel attacks. Our results show that an unprotected implementation of ARIA allows one to recover the secret key with a low number of power or electromagnetic measurements. We also present a masking countermeasure and analyze its second-order side channel resistance by using various suitable preprocessing functions. Our experimental results clearly confirm that second-order differential side channel analysis attacks also remain a practical threat for masked hardware implementations of ARIA.

In 1989, Kocher et al. introduced Differential Power Attack on block ciphers. This attack allows to extract secret key used in cryptographic computations even if these are executed inside tamper-resistant devices such as smart card. Since 1989, many papers were published to improve resistance of DPA. At FSE 2003 and 2004, Akkar and Goubin presented several masking methods to protect iterated block ciphers such as DES against Differential Power Attack. The idea is to randomize the first few and last few rounds(3 $\sim$ 4 round) of the cipher with independent random masks at each round and thereby disabling power attacks on subsequent inner rounds. This paper show how to combine truncated differential cryptanalysis applied to the first few rounds of the cipher with power attacks to extract the secret key from intermediate unmasked values.

Related-Cipher attack was introduced by Hongjun Wu in 2002. We can consider related ciphers as block ciphers with the same round function but different round number and their key schedules do not depend on the total round number. This attack can be applied to block ciphers when one uses some semi-equivalent keys in related ciphers. In this paper we introduce differential related-cipher attacks on block ciphers, which combine related-cipher attacks with differential cryptanalysis. We apply this attack to the block cipher ARIA and SC2000. Furthermore, related-cipher attack can be combined with other block cipher attacks such as linear cryptanalysis, higher-order differential cryptanalysis, and so on. In this point of view we also analyze some other block ciphers which use flexible number of rounds, SAFER++ and CAST-128.

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.
