Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) PRINCE is an SPN-type 64-bit block cipher with a 128-bit key in 2012 proposed by Borghoff et al. [1]. The number of rounds is designed with 12. Although the designers stated that differential attack, linear attack, algebra attack, and biclique attack would not be a threat to the security of PRINCE, we evaluate its security against truncated differential attack from a third party standpoint. The differential attack was proposed by Biham et al., and it is the method of attack based on the stochastic variation of the differential path caused by the property of the S-box used for an encryption process [2]. Conventional result shows that we can attack PRINCE up to 10 rounds. On the other hand, our result shows that we can attack 11-round PRINCE by using truncated differential attack with 2 to the 62.33th power pairs of chosen plaintext and ciphertext and 2 to the 115.61th power times of encryption operation.
