Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) ChaCha is the stream cipher adopted in TLS1.3 and analyzing its security is important given its wide deployment. Differential-linear analysis with probabilistic neutral bit (PNB) is used to analyze ChaCha. Although PNBs are bits that have a small impact on observed bits, existing research examines key bits bit by bit and does not examine the interlocking effects of key bits on each other. In this paper, we define a general method to use the exclusive OR of two key bits as well as PNB, and show that we can reduce the time complexity of key recovery attack to 7-round ChaCha with our method.
