### Paper: A Comparison of Cryptanalytic Tradeoff Algorithms

Authors: Jin Hong Sunghwan Moon URL: http://eprint.iacr.org/2010/176 Search ePrint Search Google The three major time memory tradeoff algorithms are compared in this paper. Specifically, the Hellman tradeoff algorithm, the distinguished point tradeoff method, and the rainbow table method, in their non-perfect table versions, are considered. We show that, under parameters that are typically considered in theoretic discussions of the tradeoff algorithms, Hellman and distinguished point tradeoffs perform very close to each other and the rainbow table method performs somewhat better than the other two algorithms. Our method of comparison can easily be applied to other situations, where the conclusions could be different. The analysis presented in this paper takes the effects of false alarms into account and also fully considers techniques for reducing storage, such as the ending point truncation method and index files.
