Abstract EN

The confidentiality of GSM cellular telephony depends on the security of A5 family of cryptosystems.

As an algorithm in this family survived from cryptanalysis, A5/3 is based on the block cipher KASUMI.

This paper describes a novel differential fault attack on KAUSMI with a 64-bit key.

Taking advantage of some mathematical observations on the FL, FO functions, and key schedule, only one 16-bit word fault is required to recover all information of the 64-bit key.

The time complexity is only 232 encryptions.

We have practically simulated the attack on a PC which takes only a few minutes to recover all the key bits.

The simulation also experimentally verifies the correctness and complexity.
