Title:
A Differential Meet-in-the-Middle Attack on the Zip cipher
Authors: Michael Stay
Abstract:We report the successful recovery of the key to a Zip archive containing only two encrypted files. The attack improves on our 2001 ciphertext-only attack, which required five encrypted files. The main innovations are a new differential meet-in-the-middle attack for the initial stages and the use of lattice reduction to recover the internal state of the truncated linear congruential generator.
