Abstract. This paper describes new methods for fast correlation attacks, based on the theory of convolutional codes. They can be applied to arbitrary LFSR feedback polynomials, in ...
Abstract. The main contribution of this paper is a new iterated secretkey block cipher called 3D, inspired by the AES cipher. The 3D cipher has an SPN design, operates on 512-bit b...
In this paper we present a new class of stream ciphers based on a very simple mechanism. The heart of our method is a Feedback with Carry Shift Registers (FCSR) automaton. This au...
In 1985 Siegenthaler introduced the concept of correlation attacks on LFSR based stream ciphers. A few years later Meier and Staffelbach demonstrated a special technique, usually ...
We present several attacks against Achterbahn, one of the new stream ciphers proposed to the eSTREAM competition. Our best attack breaks the reduced version of the cipher with comp...
