Abstract

The security provided by the XCBC, TMAC and OMAC schemes is analysed and compared with other MAC schemes. In particular, ‘partial' key recovery attacks against all three of these schemes are described, yielding upper bounds on the effective security level. The results imply that there is relatively little to be gained practically through the introduction of these schemes by comparison with other well-established MAC functions.
