Abstract
Enocoro is a family of stream ciphers proposed by Watanabe et al. in 2007. It consists of two algorithms called Enocoro-80 and Enocoro-128v1.1, whose key lengths are 80 bits and 128 bits respectively. In this paper, we show that Enocoro-128v1.1 is vulnerable against the related-key attack in which we assume a stronger attacker than one in the related-key differential attack. The attack is applicable with 2112 out of 2128 keys and the calculation complexity of the attack is about 265. Our attack is mainly of theoretical interest and do not present a threat to practical applications using Enocoro-128v1.1. In addition, we propose to update Enocoro-128v1.1 to Enocoro-128v2 where a patch has been applied to prevent the attack.
