Explore new slide attacks on almost self-similar ciphers in this 38-minute conference talk presented at Eurocrypt 2020. Delve into the paper by Orr Dunkelman, Nathan Keller, Noam Lasry, and Adi Shamir, which introduces novel techniques for cryptanalysis. Learn about the basics of slide attacks, their extensions, and generalizations. Examine applications of slide attacks on various ciphers, including a generic SPN (1K-AES). Understand the basic assumptions of slide attacks and how they can be circumvented. Investigate the concept of slid sets for attacking 2K-AES and techniques for matching these sets. Discover methods for attacking 1K-AES with secret S-boxes and incomplete diffusion in the last round. Gain insights into suggestive plaintext structures and substitution slide attacks. Enhance your knowledge of cryptographic vulnerabilities and advanced attack strategies in this comprehensive presentation.
