Welcome to the resource topic for 2019/457

Title:
Forgery Attack on mixFeed in the Nonce-Misuse Scenario

Authors: Mustafa Khairallah

Abstract:

mixFeed [CN19] is a round 1 candidate for the NIST Lightweight Cryptography Standardization Project. It is a single-pass, nonce-based, AES-based authenticated encryption algorithms. The authors claim that while there are no guarantees for security in terms of confidentiality in case of nonce-misuse (repetition), the integrity security still holds up to 2^32 data complexity. In this report, this claim is not true in case the plaintext length is non-zero (≥ 16 bytes to be exact). We show a forgery attack that requires only two encryption queries with the same nonce and 34 bytes of data.
