Title:
A New Related-Key Boomerang Distinguishing Attack of Reduced-Round Threefish-256

Authors: Shusheng Liu, Libin Wang, Zheng Gong

Abstract:

On Nov 2007, NIST announced the SHA-3 competition to select a new hash standard as a replacement of SHA-2. On Dec 2010, five submissions have been selected as the final round candidates, including Skein, which have components based on ARX. In this paper, a new related-key boomerang distinguishing attack is proposed on 31-round Threefish-256 with a time complexity of about 2^{234}. Our improved attack is based on the efficient algorithms for calculating differentials of modular addition.
