Abstract

Abstract

SPECK is a family of lightweight block ciphers proposed in 2013 by researches from National Security Agency (NSA) of USA. The algorithm adopts a modified Feistel construction that applies a combination of addition, rotation and XORing (the so-called ARX structure). Up to now, nothing is done on the impossible differential cryptanalysis of the SPECK family except that some 6-round impossible differential characteristics are found by LEE et al. In this article, some 6-round impossible differential characteristics of SPECK 32/64 and SPECK 48/96 are found and a 10-round impossible differential cryptanalysis on these two ciphers is presented by adding one round forward and three rounds backward.
