Abstract

HIGHT, proposed in CHES 2006, is a block cipher standard approved by Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA) of Korea and ISO/IEC 18033-3. It is designed a lightweight block cipher suitable for restricted hardware environment. In this paper, we propose a differential fault attack on HIGHT with a small number of fault injections. The proposed attack can recover the 128-bit secret key with more than 4 faulty ciphertexts based on a random byte fault model. Our attack has O(2 32) computational complexity and O(2 12) memory complexity and is the first known differential fault attack on HIGHT.
