Title:
Plaintext-dependant Repetition Codes Cryptanalysis of Block Ciphers - The AES Case

Authors: Eric FILIOL

Abstract:

This paper presents a new ``operational’’ cryptanalysis of block ciphers based on the
use of a well-known error-correcting code: the repetition codes. We demonstrate how to
describe a block cipher with such a code before explaining how to design a new ciphertext
only cryptanalysis of these cryptosystems on the assumption that plaintext belongs to
a particular class. This new cryptanalysis may succeed for any block cipher and thus is
likely to question the security of those cryptosystems for encryption. We then apply this
cryptanalysis to the 128-bit key AES. Our results have been experimentallly confirmed with
100 {\bf effective} cryptanalysis. Our attack enables to recover two information bits of
the secret key with only 2^{31} ciphertext blocks and a complexity of \mathcal{O}(2^{31})
with a success probability of 0.68.
