In this paper we present new and more accurate estimates of the biases of the linear approximation of the FSM of the stream cipher SNOW 2.0. Based on improved bias estimates we als...
The stream cipher Salsa20 was introduced by Bernstein in 2005 as a candidate in the eSTREAM project, accompanied by the reduced versions Salsa20/8 and Salsa20/12. ChaCha is a varia...

Abstract. The filter generator consists of a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) and a Boolean filtering function that combines some bits from the shift register to create a ke...
Let X1, X2, . . . , Xk be independent n bit random variables. If they have arbitrary distributions, we show how to compute distributions like Pr{X1 ⊕ X2 ⊕ · · · ⊕ Xk} and ...
Abstract. We explore three applications of geometric sequences in constructing cryptographic Boolean functions. First, we construct 1-resilient functions of n Boolean variables wit...
