The F-FCSR stream cipher family has been presented a few years ago. Apart from some flaws in the initial propositions, corrected in a later stage, there are no known weaknesses of the core of these algorithms. The hardware oriented version, called FCSR-H, is one of the ciphers selected for the eSTREAM portfolio. In this paper we present a new and severe cryptanalytic attack on the F-FCSR stream cipher family. We give the details of the attack when applied on F-FCSR-H. The attack requires a few Mbytes of received sequence and the complexity is low enough to allow the attack to be performed on a single PC within seconds.

    Robert recently described a powerful correspondence between certain (Hermitian) modules and (polarized) abelian varieties, which simultaneously generalizes both the class-group action underlying protocols such as CSIDH, and the Deuring correspondence, underlying protocols such as SQIsign. Using this correspondence, he also proposed how to construct a post-quantum NIKE, called MIKE, which, at a[…]
