Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Security of stream cipher depends on PRNG (Pseudo Random Number Generator) of the stream cipher. There are evaluation methods of PRNG, e.g. statical test tool for random number, automatic search for cryptanaly- sis. Since there methods evaluate known vulnerabilities of PRNG, the unknown vulnerability cannot be excluded. In this paper, we discuss the exhaustive vulnerability search method based on neural network for PRNG. Our method discovers the unknown vulnerability automatically by detecting differences between target PRNG’s pseudo random number and ideal random number using neural network. We apply our method to linear congruential generators and RC4. As the result, our proposed technique can detect feature of vulnerability in both linear congruential generators and RC4.
