Abstract:

We consider FB-PRF, one of the key derivation functions defined in NIST SP 800-108 constructed from a pseudorandom function in a feedback mode. The standard allows some flexibility in the specification, and we show that one specific instance of FB-PRF allows an efficient distinguishing attack.
