Abstract: In this talk, we briefly introduce the algebraic attacks, and the cube attack on the stream and block ciphers, as defined by Dinur and Shamir in 2008. The cube attack is a modification of the Algebraic IV Differential Attack (AIDA) introduced by Vielhaber in 2007. If time permits, we show how we applied the cube attack to a stream cipher, namely, the Bluetooth protocol E0. The talk is easily accessible to students.
