CRYPT Seminar

Title: “Rotational Cryptanalysis of ARX"

Speaker:  Ivica Nikolic (University of Luxembourg)
Day: Thursday 18 February 2010
Location: Building 3. Common Staff Room
Time: 13.30-14.30

Abstract: We analyze the security of systems based on modular additions, rotations, and XORs (ARX systems). We provide both theoretical support for their security and practical cryptanalysis of real ARX primitives. We use a technique called rotational cryptanalysis, that is universal for the ARX systems and is quite efficient on a real system. We illustrate the method with the best known attack on the block cipher Threefish (the core of Skein).
