Research of Hamming weight-based algebraic side-channel attack on LED by Ke-ke JI, Tao WANG, Shi-ze GUO, Xin-jie ZHAO, Hui-ying LIU

“…Secondly, the power leakages of LED on ATMEGA324P microcontroller were measured by a digital oscilloscope; some leakage points with obvious power patterns were chosen as the targeted points and used to deduce the Hamming weight via computing the Pearson correlation factor; satisfiability-based, Pseu-do-Boolean optimization-based, linear programming-based methods were used to representing Hamming weights with algebraic equations. Finally, the CryptoMinisat and the SCIP solver were applied to solve for the key and many attacks are conducted under different scenarios. …”

Hayekian Hurdles: Challenges to Cryptocurrency as a Viable Basis for a New Monetary Order by Luís Pedro Freitas, Jorge Cerdeira, Diogo Lourenço

“…However, recent developments, including market volatility and the collapse of key exchanges like FTX, have eroded public trust, raising skepticism of a feasible transition to a crypto-based monetary system. This paper explores why cryptocurrencies have not met the expectations of their proponents, particularly those who saw them as a step towards Friedrich Hayek’s vision for competitive currency issuance. …”

Survey on Ethereum phishing detection technology by Zhao CAI, Tao JING, Shuang REN

“…With the widespread application of blockchain technology, phishing scams have become a major threat to blockchain platforms.Due to the irreversibility, anonymity, and tamper-proof nature of blockchain transactions, phishing attacks often have a high degree of deception and concealment, causing significant losses to both users and businesses.Ethereum platform, with its smart contract functionality, has attracted many crypto currency investors.However, this widespread popularity has also attracted an influx of criminals, leading to the rise of cybercrime activities.Among them, phishing scams are one of the main forms of fraud on the Ethereum platform.To tackle this issue, researchers have developed Ethereum network phishing identification technology, achieving significant progress in this field.However, there has been relatively little systematic analysis and summary of these research results.The current state of phishing fraud on the Ethereum network was analyzed.Moreover, a comprehensive summary of existing phishing detection datasets and evaluation metrics were provided.On this basis, methods for detecting phishing on Ethereum were reviewed, including those based on transaction information, graph embedding and graph neural networks.Transaction information-based methods are the most common, analyzing information such as input and output addresses and amounts in transaction data to determine whether a transaction is abnormal.Methods based on graph embedding and graph neural networks place more emphasis on analyzing the entire transaction network, constructing a graph structure to analyze the relationships between nodes, and more accurately identifying phishing attacks.In addition, a comparative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of various methods was conducted, explaining the applicability and limitations of each method.Finally, the challenges facing Ethereum phishing detection were pointed out, and the future research trends for Ethereum phishing detection were predicted.…”

Further accelerating the search of differential characteristics based on the SAT method by Zheng XU

“…Sun et al.’s method of using Matsui’s bounding conditions to accelerate the search of differential characteristics was reviewed.Matsui’s boundary conditions and Sun et al.’s method of using Matsui’s bounding conditions to accelerate the search of differential characteristics were improved for better search efficiency.Then an improved method to search for the optimal differential characteristics in block ciphers was proposed.Besides, the accelerating effects of the number of threads and the query condition were investigated, and a strategy for choosing the number of threads and the query condition were proposed.STP and CryptoMiniSat were used to search for 8-round SPECK96 differential characteristics with probabilities of 2^{- 24}, 2^{- 25}, 2^{- 26}and 11-round HIGHT differential characteristics with a probability of 2^{- 39}, then the time-consuming of solving SAT/SMT problems under different number of threads and query conditions were compared.It was found that the number of threads has a great effect on the time consumption of searching for differential characteristics, while the query condition may have little effect on the time consumption of searching for differential characteristics.Then, a strategy on how to select the number of threads and the query condition was proposed.Furthermore, it was found that STP can affect the overall efficiency of the search.According to the proposed strategy, the 11-round optimal differential characteristics of HIGHT were searched by using the improved bounding conditions and improved method.A tight bound for the probability of the 11-round optimal differential characteristics of HIGHT was obtained for the first time, i.e.2^{- 45}.To the best of our knowledge, the existing tightest bound of the optimal 11-round HIGHT is <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <msubsup> <mi>P</mi> <mrow> <mtext>Opt</mtext></mrow> <mrow> <mn>11</mn></mrow> </msubsup> <mo>≥</mo><msup> <mn>2</mn> <mrow> <mo>−</mo><mn>45</mn></mrow> </msup> </math></inline-formula> .This means that using the existing tightest bound of the optimal 11-round HIGHT cannot give an accurate evaluation of the security of 11-round HIGHT against differential cryptanalysis.Therefore, the result is the best-known result.…”
