Towards a Characterization of the Related-Key Attack Security of the Iterated Even-Mansour Cipher
Abstract
We prove the related-key security of the Iterated Even-Mansour cipher under broad classes of related key derivation (RKD) functions. Our result extends the classes of RKD functions considered by Farshim and Procter (FSE, 15). Moreover, we present a far simpler proof which uses techniques similar to those used by Cogliati and Seurin (EUROCRYPT, 15) in their proof that the four-round Even-Mansour cipher is secure against XOR related-key attacks---a special case of our result and the result of Farshim and Proctor. Finally, we give a concrete example of a class of RKD functions covered by our result which does not satisfy the requirements given by Farshim and Procter and prove that the three-round Even-Mansour cipher is secure against this class of RKD functions.
