Abstract

In logical cryptanalysis a problem of search of a secret key of a cryptographic system is formulated as a SAT problem, i.e. a problem of search of a satisfying assignment for some CNF. In this paper we consider some natural strategies for parallelization of these SAT problems. We apply coarse-grained approach which makes it possible to use distributed computing environments with slow interconnect. The main practical result of this paper is successful logical cryptanalysis of keystream generator A5/1 in BNB-Grid system.
