In CRYPTO 2019, Gohr presents that Deep-learning can be used for cryptanalysis. In this paper, we verify whether Deep-learning can identify the structures of S-box. To this end, we conducted two experiments. First, we use DDT and LAT of S-boxes as the learning data, whose structure is one of mainly used S-box structures including Feistel, MISTY, SPN, and multiplicative inverse. Surprisingly, our Deep-learning algorithms can identify not only the structures but also the number of used rounds. The second application verifies the pseudo-randomness of and structures by increasing the nuber of rounds in each structure. Our Deep-learning algorithms outperform the theoretical distinguisher in terms of the number of rounds. In general, the design rationale of ciphers used for high level of confidentiality, such as for military purposes, tends to be concealed in order to interfere cryptanalysis. The methods presented in this paper show that Deep-learning can be utilized as a tool for analyzing such undisclosed design rationale.

암호화 알고리즘으로 블록 암호화 알고리즘은 스트림 암호화 알고리즘에 비해 빠르며 안전성이 뛰어나 많이 사용되고 있다. 현재 블록 암호화 알고리즘은 새로운 방식이 제안되기 보다는 페이스텔 암호(Feistel Cipher)에 기반하거나 그것의 변형에 기반을 두는 방향으로 발전되고 있는데 그것은 페이스텔 암호의 안전성이 검증이 되었기 때문이다. 1994년에 발표된 TEA는 작고 구현이 쉬운 블록 암호화 알고리즘으로 페이스텔 암호를 기반으로 하여 크기가 작고 빠르면서 구현이 쉬운 특징을 가지고 있다. 페이스텔 암호에 대한 연구는 암호학적인 측면에서 암호학의 기반을 이루므로 많이 진행되고 있는데 대체적으로 페이스텔 암호의 구조보다는 키 스케줄이나 페이스텔 암호를 이루는 라운드 함수에 대한 연구가 주도족이라고 보여진다. 하지만 이러한 페이스텔 암호를 이루는 페이스텔 구조에 대한 연구는 아직까지 미지한 형편이다. 본 논문에서는 TEA에 적용된 페이스텔 암호를 분석하여 TEA가 가지고 있는 페이스텔 구조에 대하여 연구해 보고자 한다.

In this fast-paced technological world, the Internet of Things is a ground breaking technology which finds an immense role in the present electronic world which includes different embedded sensors, devices and most other things which are connected to the Internet. The IoT devices are designed in a way that it helps to collect various forms of data from varied sources and transmit them in digitalized form. In modern era of IoT technology data security is a trending issue which greatly affects the confidentiality of important information. Keeping the issue in mind a novel light encryption strategy known as LCB is designed for IoT devices for optimal security. LCB exploits the benefits of Feistel structure and the architectural benefits of substitution permutation network both to give more security. Moreover, this newly designed technique is tested on (Virtex-7) XC7VX330T FPGA board and it takes much little area of 224 GE (Gate Equivalent) and is extremely fast with very less combinational path delay of 0.877 ns. An in-depth screening confirms the proposed work to promise more security to counter cryptographic attacks. Lastly the Avalanche Effect (AE) of LCB showed as 63.125% and 63.875% when key and plaintext (PT) are taken into consideration respectively.

This paper describes a small-area hardware implementation of the block cipher algorithm CLEFIA-128 which supports for 128-bit master key. A compact structure using single data processing block is adopted, which shares hardware resources for round transformation and the generation of intermediate values for round key scheduling. In addition, data processing and key scheduling blocks are simplified by utilizing a modified GFN(generalized Feistel network) and key scheduling scheme. The CLEFIA-128 crypto-processor is verified by FPGA implementation. It consumes 823 slices of Virtex5 XC5VSX50T device and the estimated throughput is about 105 Mbps with 145 MHz clock frequency.

Impossible differential cryptanalysis(IDC) introduced by Biham et. ${al}^{[4]}$ uses impossible differential characteristics. There-fore, a security of a block cipher against IDC is measured by impossible differential characteristics. In this paper, we pro-vide a wildly applicable method to find various impossible differential characteristics of block cipher structures not using the specified form of a round function. Using this method, we can find various impossible differential characteristics for Nyberg's generalized Feistel network and a generalized RC6-like structure. Throughout the paper, we assume round functions used in block cipher structures are bijective.ctive.

본 논문에서는 Skipjack의 변환규칙 A와 같은 반복적인 구조에 대한 차분 특성 및 선형 근사식의 확률의 상한 값을 제시하고 이를 증명한다. 즉 라운드 함수에 대한 확률의 최대 값이 p이면 15라운드 후에 p4이 됨을 보인다. 따라서 본 논문에서 고려한 구조는 현재까지 DC 및 LC에 대한 안전성을 증명할 수 있는 구조인 Feistel 구조 및 MISTY 구조와 더불어 블록 암호의 설계 방법에 대한 다양성을 제공한다.

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.

The TWINE is a new Generalized Feistel Structure (GFS) lightweight cryptosystem in the Internet of Things. It has 36 rounds and the key lengths support 80 bits and 128 bits, which are flexible to provide security for the RFID, smart cards and other highly-constrained devices. Due to the strong attacking ability, fast speed, simple implementation and other characteristics, the differential fault analysis has become an important method to evaluate the security of lightweight cryptosystems. On the basis of the 4-bit fault model and the differential analysis, we propose an effective differential fault attack on the TWINE cryptosystem. Mathematical analysis and simulating experiments show that the attack could recover its 80-bit and 128-bit secret keys by introducing 8 faulty ciphertexts and 18 faulty ciphertexts on average, respectively. The result in this study describes that the TWINE is vulnerable to differential fault analysis. It will be beneficial to the analysis of the same type of other iterated lightweight cryptosystems in the Internet of Things.
