Title
An observation on NORX, BLAKE2, and ChaCha
Abstract
This note extends the first-order truncated differentials found by Das, Maitra, and Meier [1] on 2 rounds of the NORX32 permutation. These lead to stronger 2.5-round differential biases for NORX and BLAKE2's permutation, and for 5 rounds of the ChaCha permutation. These biases lead to efficient “inside-out” distinguishers on 4 rounds of the NORX and BLAKE2 permutations, and 8 rounds of the ChaCha permutation. These distinguishers do not directly affect the security claims of NORX, BLAKE2, or ChaCha in their respective modes of operation.
