Correction Citation - WoS: 1A New Construction Method for Keystream Generators (vol 18, Pg 3735, 2023)(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2024) Gul, Cagdas; Kara, OrhunThe authors would like to extend their apologies for the inadvertent inclusion of an erroneous index of the matrix ${M}$ for DIZY-80 in [1]. We sincerely regret any inconvenience caused by this typographical error and appreciate the chance to rectify it.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Lower Data Attacks on Advanced Encryption Standard(Turkiye Klinikleri, 2024) Kara, OrhunThe Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is one of the most commonly used and analyzed encryption algorithms. In this work, we present new combinations of some prominent attacks on AES, achieving new records in data requirements among attacks, utilizing only $2^4 and 2^{16}$ chosen plaintexts (CP) for 6-round and 7-round AES- 192/256, respectively. One of our attacks is a combination of a meet-in-the-middle (MiTM) attack with a square attack mounted on 6-round AES-192/256 while another attack combines an MiTM attack and an integral attack, utilizing key space partitioning technique, on 7-round AES-192/256. Moreover, we illustrate that impossible differential (ID) attacks can be viewed as the dual of MiTM attacks in certain aspects which enables us to recover the correct key using the meet-in-the-middle (MiTM) technique instead of sieving through all potential wrong keys in our ID attack. Furthermore, we introduce the constant guessing technique in the inner rounds which significantly reduces the number of key bytes to be searched. The time and memory complexities of our attacks remain marginal.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2New Security Proofs and Complexity Records for Advanced Encryption Standard(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2023) Kara, OrhunCommon block ciphers like AES specified by the NIST or KASUMI (A5/3) of GSM are extensively utilized by billions of individuals globally to protect their privacy and maintain confidentiality in daily communications. However, these ciphers lack comprehensive security proofs against the vast majority of known attacks. Currently, security proofs are limited to differential and linear attacks for both AES and KASUMI. For instance, the consensus on the security of AES is not based on formal mathematical proofs but on intensive cryptanalysis over its reduced rounds spanning several decades. In this work, we introduce new security proofs for AES against another attack method: impossible differential (ID) attacks. We classify ID attacks as reciprocal and nonreciprocal ID attacks. We show that sharp and generic lower bounds can be imposed on the data complexities of reciprocal ID attacks on substitution permutation networks. We prove that the minimum data required for a reciprocal ID attack on AES using a conventional ID characteristic is 2(66) chosen plaintexts whereas a nonreciprocal ID attack involves at least 2(88) computational steps. We mount a nonreciprocal ID attack on 6-round AES for 192-bit and 2(56)-bit keys, which requires only 2(18) chosen plaintexts and outperforms the data complexity of any attack. Given its marginal time complexity, this attack does not pose a substantial threat to the security of AES. However, we have made enhancements to the integral attack on 6-round AES, thereby surpassing the longstanding record for the most efficient attack after a period of 23 years.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 4A New Construction Method for Keystream Generators(IEEE, 2023) Gül, Çağdaş; Kara, OrhunWe introduce a new construction method of diffusion layers for Substitution Permutation Network (SPN) structures along with its security proofs. The new method can be used in block ciphers, stream ciphers, hash functions, and sponge constructions. Moreover, we define a new stream cipher mode of operation through a fixed pseudorandom permutation and provide its security proofs in the indistinguishability model. We refer to a stream cipher as a Small Internal State Stream (SISS) cipher if its internal state size is less than twice its key size. There are not many studies about how to design and analyze SISS ciphers due to the criterion on the internal state sizes, resulting from the classical tradeoff attacks. We utilize our new mode and diffusion layer construction to design an SISS cipher having two versions, which we call DIZY. We further provide security analyses and hardware implementations of DIZY. In terms of area cost, power, and energy consumption, the hardware performance is among the best when compared to some prominent stream ciphers, especially for frame-based encryptions that need frequent initialization. Unlike recent SISS ciphers such as Sprout, Plantlet, LILLE, and Fruit; DIZY does not have a keyed update function, enabling efficient key changing. © 2005-2012 IEEE.
