  • Abstract
    Bivium is a simplified version of Trivium, a hardware profile finalist of eSTREAM project. Bivium has an internal state of size 177 bits and a key length of 80 bits. In this paper we introduce a distinguishing attack on this cipher. In this method we first find the best linear approximation for the updating function. Then by using this approximation, and optimizing the time delay, we find the distinguisher. The complexity of the attack is O(230.79), which is an improvement to the previous distinguishing attack with a complexity of order O(232).
