Abstract

Rocca is the first dedicated cipher for 6G systems accepted in ToSC 2021 and will be presented at FSE 2022. In this paper we show that Rocca is susceptible to differential fault attack under the nonce reuse scenario. The attack outcome results in a complete internal state recovery by injecting \( 4\times 48 \) faults in three out of eight internal state registers. Since the round update function of Rocca is reversible it also allows for key recovery. To the best of our knowledge this is the first third party analysis of Rocca.
