Information security is an important task on multimedia and communication world. During storing and sharing maintaining a strategic distance from the outsider access of information is the difficult one. There are many encryption algorithms that can provide data security. In this paper two of the encryption algorithms namely AES and RSA are implemented for color images. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a symmetric key block cipher published in December 2001 by NSIT (National Institute of Standards and Technology). RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) is an asymmetric key block cipher. It uses two separate keys, one for encryption called the public key and other for decryption called the private key. Both the implementation and analysis are done in Matlab. The quality and security level of both the algorithms is analysed based on various criteria such as Histogram analysis, Correlation analysis, Entropy analysis, NPCR (Number of Pixel Change Rate), UACI (Unified Average Changing Intensity), PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio).

International data encryption algorithm (IDEA) is a secret key or symmetric key block cipher. The purpose of IDEA was to replace data encryption standard (DES) cipher, which became practically insecure due to its small key size of 56 bits and increase in computational power of systems. IDEA cipher mainly to provide data confidentiality in variety of applications such as commercial and financial application e.g. pretty good privacy (PGP) protocol. Till 2015, no successful linear or algebraic weaknesses IDEA of have been reported. In this paper, author explained IDEA cipher, its application in PGP and did a systematic survey of various attacks attempted on IDEA cipher. The best cryptanalysis result which applied to all keys could break IDEA up to 6 rounds out of 8.5 rounds of the full IDEA cipher1. But the attack requires 264 known plaintexts and 2126.8 operations for reduced round version. This attack is practically not feasible due to above mention mammoth data and time requirements. So IDEA cipher is still completely secure for practical usage. PGP v2.0 uses IDEA cipher in place of BassOmatic which was found to be insecure for providing data confidentiality.

AbstractCAST-256 (or CAST6) is a symmetric-key block cipher published in June 1998. It was submitted as a candidate for Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). In this paper, we will propose a new chosen text attack, the multiple differential-zero correlation linear attack, to analyze the CAST-256 block cipher. Our attack is the best-known attack on CAST-256 according to the number of rounds without the weak-key assumption. We first construct a 30-round differential-zero correlation linear distinguisher. Based on the distinguisher, we propose a first 33-round attack on CAST-256 with data complexity of

Grover Search Algorithm

Grover search algorithm is the most representative quantum attack method that threatens the security of symmetric key cryptography. If the Grover search algorithm is applied to symmetric key cryptography, the security level of target symmetric key cryptography can be lowered from n-bit to n2-bit. When applying Grover’s search algorithm to the block cipher that is the target of potential quantum attacks, the target block cipher must be implemented as quantum circuits. Starting with the AES block cipher, a number of works have been conducted to optimize and implement target block ciphers into quantum circuits. Recently, many studies have been published to implement lightweight block ciphers as quantum circuits. In this paper, we present optimal quantum circuit designs of symmetric key cryptography, including PRESENT and GIFT block ciphers. The proposed method optimized PRESENT and GIFT block ciphers by minimizing qubits, quantum gates, and circuit depth. We compare proposed PRESENT and GIFT quantum circuits with other results of lightweight block cipher implementations in quantum circuits. Finally, quantum resources of PRESENT and GIFT block ciphers required for the oracle of the Grover search algorithm were estimated.

Recent results on quantum cryptanalysis show that some symmetric key schemes can be broken in polynomial time even if they are proven to be secure in the classical setting. Liskov, Rivest, and Wagner showed that secure tweakable block ciphers can be constructed from secure block ciphers in the classical setting. However, Kaplan et al. showed that their scheme can be broken by polynomial time quantum superposition attacks, even if underlying block ciphers are quantum-secure. Since then, it remains open if there exists a mode of block ciphers to build quantum-secure tweakable block ciphers. This paper settles the problem in the reduction-based provable security paradigm. We show the first design of quantum-secure tweakable block ciphers based on quantum-secure block ciphers, and present a provable security bound. Our construction is simple, and when instantiated with a quantum-secure n-bit block cipher, it is secure against attacks that query arbitrary quantum superpositions of plaintexts and tweaks up to O(2n/6) quantum queries. Our security proofs use the compressed oracle technique introduced by Zhandry. More precisely, we use an alternative formalization of the technique introduced by Hosoyamada and Iwata.

Abstract A block is an n-bit string, and a (possibly keyed) block-function is a non-linear mapping that maps one block to another, e.g., a block-cipher. In this paper, we consider various symmetric key primitives with {\ell} block inputs and raise the following question: what is the minimum number of block-function invocations required for a mode to be secure? We begin with encryption modes that generate {\ell^{\prime}} block outputs and show that at least {(\ell+\ell^{\prime}-1)} block-function invocations are necessary to achieve the PRF security. In presence of a nonce, the requirement of block-functions reduces to {\ell^{\prime}} blocks only. If {\ell=\ell^{\prime}} , in order to achieve SPRP security, the mode requires at least {2\ell} many block-function invocations. We next consider length preserving r-block (called chunk) online encryption modes and show that, to achieve online PRP security, each chunk should have at least {2r-1} many and overall at least {2r\ell-1} many block-functions for {\ell} many chunks. Moreover, we show that it can achieve online SPRP security if each chunk contains at least {2r} non-linear block-functions. We next analyze affine MAC modes and show that an integrity-secure affine MAC mode requires at least {\ell} many block-function invocations to process an {\ell} block message. Finally, we consider affine mode authenticated encryption and show that in order to achieve INT-RUP security or integrity security under a nonce-misuse scenario, either (i) the number of non-linear block-functions required to generate the ciphertext is more than {\ell} or (ii) the number of extra non-linear block-functions required to generate the tag depends on {\ell} .

The confidentiality and integrity of a stream has become one of the biggest issues in telecommunication. The best available algorithm handling the confidentiality of a data stream is the symmetric key block cipher combined with a chaining mode of operation such as cipher block chaining (CBC) or counter mode (CTR). This scheme is difficult to accelerate using hardware when multiple streams coexist. This is caused by the computation time requirement and mainly by management of the streams. In most accelerators, computation is treated at the block-level rather than as a stream, making the management of multiple streams complex. This article presents a solution combining CBC and CTR modes of operation with a hardware context switching. The hardware context switching allows the accelerator to treat the data as a stream. Each stream can have different parameters: key, initialization value, state of counter. Stream switching was managed by the hardware context switching mechanism. A high-level synthesis tool was used to generate the context switching circuit. The scheme was tested on three cryptographic algorithms: AES, DES, and BC3. The hardware context switching allowed the software to manage multiple streams easily, efficiently, and rapidly. The software was freed of the task of managing the stream state. Compared to the original algorithm, about 18%–38% additional logic elements were required to implement the CBC or CTR mode and the additional circuits to support context switching. Using this method, the performance overhead when treating multiple streams was low, and the performance was comparable to that of existing hardware accelerators not supporting multiple streams.
