Abstract

In this paper, we evaluate the security of lightweight block cipher Piccolo suitable for cloud computing against biclique cryptanalysis. Our attacks on Piccolo-80/128 require computational complexities of 279.13 and 2127.35, respectively. These results are superior to known biclique cryptanalytic results on them.
