Simplified Modeling of MITM Attacks for Block Ciphers: New (Quantum) Attacks
IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology, 2023 The meet-in-the-middle (MITM) technique has led to many key-recovery attacks on block ciphers and preimage attacks on hash functions. Nowadays, cryptographers use automatic tools that reduce the search of MITM attacks to an optimization problem.

EECDH to prevent MITM attack in cloud computing
Digital Communications and Networks, 2019 Cloud computing has reached the peak of Gartner hype cycle, and now the focus of the whole telecom industry is the ability to scale data storage with minimal investment. But data privacy and communication issues will occur with the increment of the cloud

New Low-Memory Algebraic Attacks on LowMC in the Picnic Setting
IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology, 2022 The security of the post-quantum signature scheme Picnic is highly related to the difficulty of recovering the secret key of LowMC from a single plaintext-ciphertext pair.

Improvement of nuclear facilities DNP3 protocol data transmission security using super encryption BRC4 in SCADA systems [PDF]
PeerJ Computer Science, 2021 Background Data transmissions using the DNP3 protocol over the internet in SCADA systems are vulnerable to interruption, interception, fabrication, and modification through man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks.

Man‐in‐the‐middle attacks and defence in a power system cyber‐physical testbed
IET Cyber-Physical Systems, 2021 Man‐in‐The‐Middle (MiTM) attacks present numerous threats to a smart grid. In a MiTM attack, an intruder embeds itself within a conversation between two devices to either eavesdrop or impersonate one of the devices, making it appear to be a normal ...

New attacks against reduced Rijndael‐160
IET Information Security, 2022 The first 9‐round meet‐in‐the‐middle (MITM) attack and improved 8‐round impossible differential (ID) attacks on Rijndael‐160 are studied here. For the first 9‐round MITM attack, a new effective attack path is explored by using the generalised δ‐set and ...
