To analyze the immunity of ZUC stream cipher in aspect of correlation power analysis attack, some relevant researches are conducted. In order to improve the pertinence of attack, a rapid assessment method of the attack scheme is presented, and accordingly a correlation power analysis scheme of ZUC is proposed. Finally, based on the simulation platform raised by ASIC development environment, the attack scheme is validated. Experiment results turn out that the scheme can successfully attack 48-bit key, confirming that ZUC is unable to resist the correlation power analysis attack, and the proposed assessment method of attack scheme takes effect. Compared with Tang Ming’s experimental, which conducted differential power analysis of ZUC with random initial vectors and observing distinct differential power peak with 5000 initial vectors, the proposed attack scheme only uses 256 initial vectors, and gets better results.
