Abstract:
The report mainly introduces the research progress of security analysis of nonlinear feedback cryptosystems. It first briefly analyzes the research progress of the security analysis of nonlinear feedback cryptosystems in the past 10 years, and then introduces the works of nonlinear feedback cryptosystems on the algebraic number estimation, distinguisher and key recovery attacks, etc. The speaker will propose the concept of numerical mapping to establish an efficient algebraic evaluation model for nonlinear feedback cryptosystems, and provide a linear time-space complexity estimation algorithm for sequential cryptographic algorithms such as Trivium, etc., and then apply them to the security evaluation of algorithms such as Trivium and Grain. The report will also propose a new attack method named related cubic attacks, and explore how to convert weak key distinguisher with low threats into key recovery attacks with high threats, and then apply numerical mapping techniques to Trivium, etc. It helps to get the result of 835 rounds of Trivium's actual partial key recovery attack. The achievements were published in the stand conference of Crypto 2017 and Eurocrypt 2018.
