Abstract
Many lightweight block ciphers have been proposed for IoT devices that have limited resources. SLIM, LBC‐IoT, and SLA are lightweight block ciphers developed for IoT systems. The designer of SLIM presented a 7‐round differential distinguisher and an 11‐round linear trail using a heuristic method. We have comprehensively sought the longest distinguisher for linear cryptanalysis, zero‐correlation linear cryptanalysis, impossible differential attack, and integral attack using the mixed integer linear Programming (MILP) on SLIM, LBC‐IoT, and SLA. The search led to discovery of a 16‐round linear trail on SLIM, which is 5‐round longer than the earlier result. We have also discovered 7‐, 7‐, and 9‐round distinguishers for zero‐correlation linear cryptanalysis, impossible differential attack, and integral attack, which are new results for SLIM. We have revealed 9‐, 8‐, and 11‐round distinguishers on LBC‐IoT for zero‐correlation linear cryptanalysis, impossible differential attack, and integral attack. We have presented full‐round distinguishers on SLA for integral attack using only two chosen plaintexts. We performed a key recovery attack on 16‐round SLIM with an experimental verification. This verification took 106 s with a success rate of 93%. Moreover, we present a key recovery attack on 19‐round SLIM using 16‐round linear trail with correlation 2−15: the necessary number of known plaintext–ciphertext pairs is 231; the time complexity is 264.4 encryptions; and the memory complexity is 238 bytes. Results show that this is the current best key recovery attack on SLIM. Because the recommended number of rounds is 32, SLIM is secure against linear cryptanalysis, as demonstrated herein.
