Quantum cryptanalysis of lightweight block cipher Piccolo

By taking the characteristics of the structure of Piccolo algorithm RP permutation into consideration, a 3-round quantum distinguisher was proposed.Based on Grover meets Simon algorithm, the 6-round of quantum key recovery attack was given.The results show that the key can be recovered 56 bit with t...

description By taking the characteristics of the structure of Piccolo algorithm RP permutation into consideration, a 3-round quantum distinguisher was proposed.Based on Grover meets Simon algorithm, the 6-round of quantum key recovery attack was given.The results show that the key can be recovered 56 bit with the time complexity 2 <sup>28</sup> and the occupation of 464 qubit.Moreover, if attack rounds r>6,the time complexity is 2 <sup>28+16(r-6)</sup>, which is <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mfrac> <mn>1</mn> <mrow> <msup> <mn>2</mn> <mrow> <mn>68</mn></mrow> </msup> </mrow> </mfrac> </math></inline-formula> of Grover quantum brute-force search.The time complexity of the proposed attack method is significantly reduced compared with Grover search and is also better than that of traditional cryptanalysis, which lays a foundation for the subsequent research on quantum attacks of lightweight block ciphers.
