Abstract
sESTATE_TweAES-128-6
, with \(2^{42.3}\) Q2 queries and a time equivalent to \(2^{52}\) AES encryptions. Technically, the attack is based on the combination of a quantum extracting method and quantum square attack. For Elephant mode, which internally uses a permutation masked by linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs) similar to the masked Even-Mansour construction proposed in EUROCRYPT 2016, we launch the attack based on the quantum attack proposed by Bonnetain et al., which depends on Simon’s algorithm without superposition queries and Grover’s algorithm. Our attack is generic and independent of internal permutation; hence, we obtain the quantum attacks on all instances with a tradeoff of classical and quantum queries. Remarkably, the attack complexities of both recommended instances are lower than that of the generic quantum attack on key, i.e., in time \({\mathcal {O}}({2}^{|K|/{2}})\) with \({\mathcal {O}}(1)\) queries.
