    Previous Work


    The first cryptanalytic attack on KeeLoq was proposed by Bogdanov. The slides of his presentation are availablehere.

    ndesteege et al. improved the attacks, that are only applicable to IFF (Identify Friend or Foe) systems, to lower the complexity to 65536 known plain- and ciphertexts.
