Some Results on Algebraic Cryptanalysis of A5/2 Algorithm

Adela Mihaita · 2010

Algebraic cryptanalysis of A5/2 cipher is the is the subject of this article. Recovering the secret key is reduced to solving a system with several hundreds of quadratic equations for which various methods have been proposed during years. This paper presents some experimental results (concerning the time and the number of frames needed) using different implementations of Groebner basis algorithm for solving the system.
