Multiset Collision Attacks on Reduced-Round SNOW 3G and SNOW 3G

Abstract__
The stream cipher SNOW3G designed in 2006 by ETSI/SAGE
is a base algorithm for the second set of 3GPP confidentiality and
integrity algorithms. In this paper we study the resynchronization mechanism
of SNOW 3G and of a similar cipher SNOW 3G
using multiset collision attacks.
For SNOW 3G we show a simple 13-round multiset distinguisher with complexity
of 2
8 steps. We show full key recovery chosen IV resynchronization attacks for
up to 18 out of 33 initialization rounds of SNOW3G
with a complexity of 257
to generate the data and 253 steps of analysis.
