Abstract

Large language models (LLMs), exemplified by the advanced AI tool ChatGPT in 2023, have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in generating sentences, images, and program codes, driven by their development from extensive datasets. With over 100 million users worldwide, ChatGPT stands out as a leader among LLMs. Previous studies have shown its proficiency in generating program source codes for the symmetric-key block ciphers AES, CHAM, and ASCON. This study ventures into the implementation of cryptanalytic program source codes for a lightweight block cipher using ChatGPT, exploring its potential and limitations in the field of cryptography.
