New Differential-Based Distinguishers for Ascon via Constraint Programming [PDF]
IET Information SecurityAs the winner of the NIST lightweight cryptography project, Ascon has undergone extensive self-evaluation and third-party cryptanalysis. In this paper, we use constraint programming (CP) as a tool to analyze the Ascon permutation and propose several ...

Airborne Levels of Lung Carcinogens at an Ascon Manufacturing Site [PDF]
Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 2020 We assessed the airborne concentrations of the dust (both total and respirable), quartz, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and elemental carbon in an ascon manufacturing environment to determine the exposure to operators and the likelihood of developing ...

Preimage and collision attacks on reduced Ascon using algebraic strategies
CybersecurityAscon, a family of algorithms that supports hashing and authenticated encryption, is the winner of the NIST Lightweight Cryptography Project. In this paper, we propose an improved preimage attack against 2-round Ascon-XOF-64 with a complexity of $$2^{33}$

Conditional Cube Attack on Round-Reduced ASCON
IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology, 2017 This paper evaluates the secure level of authenticated encryption Ascon against cube-like method. Ascon submitted by Dobraunig et al. is one of 16 survivors of the 3rd round CAESAR competition. The cube-like method is first used by Dinur et al.

Improved Conditional Cube Attacks on Ascon AEADs in Nonce-Respecting Settings
IACR Transactions on Symmetric CryptologyThe best-known distinguisher on 7-round Ascon-128 and Ascon-128a AEAD uses a 60-dimensional cube where the nonce bits are set to be equal in the third and fourth rows of the Ascon state during initialization (Rohit et al. ToSC 2021/1).
