An improved differential attack on full GOST

NT Courtois - The New Codebreakers: Essays Dedicated to David …, 2016 - Springer
Abstract GOST 28147-89 is a well-known block cipher. Its large key size of 256 bits and
incredibly low implementation cost make it a plausible alternative for AES-256 and triple …

Algebraic complexity reduction and cryptanalysis of GOST

NT Courtois - Cryptology ePrint Archive, 2011 - eprint.iacr.org
Abstract GOST 28147-89 is a well-known Russian government encryption standard. Its large
key size of 256 bits at a particularly low implementation cost make that it is widely …

On multiple symmetric fixed points in GOST

N Courtois - Cryptologia, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
In this article the author revisits the oldest attack on GOST known, the Kara Reflection attack,
and another totally unrelated truncated differential attack by Courtois and Misztal. It is hard to …

Towards a theory of security evaluation for GOST-like ciphers against differential and linear cryptanalysis

AN Alekseychuk, LV Kovalchuk - Cryptology ePrint Archive, 2011 - eprint.iacr.org
In this paper, we present new general techniques for practical security evaluation against
differential and linear cryptanalysis for an extensive class of block ciphers similar to the …

Security of the Poseidon Hash Function Against Non-Binary Differential and Linear Attacks

L Kovalchuk, R Oliynykov, M Rodinko - Cybernetics and Systems Analysis, 2021 - Springer
In the paper, we construct security estimations of Poseidon hash function against non-binary
linear and differential attacks. We adduce the general parameters for the Poseidon hash …

Analysis of mixing properties of the operations of modular addition and bitwise addition defined on one carrier

LV Kovalchuk, OA Sirenko - Cybernetics and Systems Analysis, 2011 - Springer
Some results are obtained concerning the influence of bitwise (modular) addition on the
structure of the quotient group of a particular subgroup under the operation of modular …

An Improved Differential Attack on Full GOST (extended version)

NT Courtois - Cryptology EPrint Archive, 2012 - eprint.iacr.org
Abstract GOST 28147-89 is a well-known block cipher and the official encryption standard of
the Russian Federation. A 256-bit block cipher considered as an alternative for AES-256 …

Upper-bound estimates for the average probabilities of integer differentials of round functions of certain block ciphers

LV Kovalchuk, NV Kuchinska - Cybernetics and Systems Analysis, 2012 - Springer
The upper bounds for the average probabilities of integer round differentials are obtained for
the composition of key adder, substitution block, and shift operator of special structure. The …
