To Cryptanalyse PRESENT Lightweight Block Cipher using Zero Correlation Linear Cryptanalysis

  Mehak Khurana,  Meena Kumari

Block cipher is in vogue due to its requirement for integrity, confidentiality and authentication. With the rapid advances in small devices, such as Sensors, RFID tags, sensor nodes, medical devices are being deployed at a fast pace. These devices are being used in various applications which lead to requirement of providing security. Resource-limited devices and its implementation cost should be kept in mind when designing a algorithm. In order to satisfy these need, secure and efficient encryption and authentication schemes have to be developed. Symmetric-key algorithms are still used to provide confidentiality in the above mentioned applications. In this paper, the need of lightweight block cipher has been discussed and what all primitives are required to maintain balance between security, size, cost and other factors are illustrated. In this paper study of security and weakness are discussed. It also shows how this Zero correlation linear cryptanalytic technique can be applied to PRESENT Lightweight Block Cipher. For this, the code has been implemented which uses miss in middle technique and finds all the paths with zero correlation with fixed input and output where no other path exist with other exist for same input and output.
