Differential Fault Attacks on TFHE-Friendly Cipher FRAST

Published
Record updated

Summary

This paper presents differential fault attacks (DFAs) on FRAST, a stream cipher tailored for Torus-based Fully Homomorphic Encryption (TFHE). Exploiting FRAST's unbalanced Feistel structure, the authors recover the key in one second with 4 or 6 faults under precise fault injection, and in a few minutes under a more practical fault model without extra faults. They describe it as the first fault-type analysis of FRAST.

Mitigation

The authors recommend removing the negacyclic restriction in the penultimate round of FRAST and introducing non-zero linear structures into the S-boxes of the last two rounds.
