Abstract:  KiasuKiasu-BC is an internal tweakable block cipher of authenticated encryption algorithm Kiasu as one of
firstfirst-round candidates in the CAESAR competition. The precomputation complexity is reduced by utilizing the
freedom of the tweak and the internal key restriction through the research on structural characteristics of KiasuKiasu-BC cipher based on AES AES-128 round function. Combined with the d ifferential enumeration technique, a new 5 5-round
meet -in -thethe-middle distinguisher is constructed to impr ove the meet -in -thethe-middle attack on 8-round Kiasu Kiasu-BC ciphercipher. The new attack requires the time complexity of 2 114 , the memory complexity of 2 263 and the data complexity
of 2 2108 .
