| Guidelines |
| Lightweight cryptography became very important after the popularity of devices with constrained computational power. PRINCE, introduced in [1], is an important example for a cryptographic algorithm for such devices. Its cryptanalysis has become an important research topic. The task of the thesis is to survey several attacks ([2],[3]) and explain them in detail and if possible provide contributions. We will restrict the types of attacks to the meet-in-the-middle attacks and integral cryptanalysis. The thesis will also provide explanations to such concepts. A good survey on these type of attacks on PRINCE and explanations of the required concepts is a requirement for a successful thesis. A top grade thesis should provide some nontrivial contributions and/or extensions. Providing detailed explanations where the original papers omit rather important parts will also contribute to the quality of the thesis. |
