Cryptanalysis of splay tree based encryption

Jean-Philippe Aumasson

Abstract

We present a chosen-plaintext attack on KIST, a recently proposed encryption scheme based on splay trees. Our attack recovers a 128-bit key with approximately 2^28 bit operations and fewer than 2^19 chosen-plaintext queries.
