| Feb 22, 2022 at 12:51 | comment | added | kelalaka | One couldn't find targets for E0 in the wild as easily as WEP. I remember a demonstration, however, I couldn't find it. Keeloq was a block cipher though instead of the attacks the brute force is preferred... | |
| Feb 22, 2022 at 11:13 | comment | added | fgrieu♦ | @kelalaka: no I have not followed E0, but it looks like it could qualify. I lack a reference for "executed in the real world", as in actively exploited to eavesdrop on BT earphones. I'm not sure Keeloq qualifies, for AFAIK (which is, not much) the attacks are not against the crypto itself. Similarly I have not mentioned Mifare Classic, because the 48-bit key never was intended to be secure anyway, and the (many) actual attacks are not of pure cryptographic nature. | |
