Tweakable enciphering schemes are length preserving block cipher modes of operation that provide a strong pseudo-random permutation. It has been suggested that these schemes can b...
This paper concerns the problem of reducing the implementation cost of the switchable data-dependent operations (SDDOs) that are a new cryptographic primitive oriented to the desi...
Abstract. The XCB mode of operation was outlined in 2004 as a contribution to the IEEE Security in Storage effort, but no security analysis was provided. In this paper, we provide...
OMAC, TMAC and XCBC are CBC-type MAC schemes which are provably secure for arbitrary message length. In this paper, we present a more tight upper bound on Advmac for each scheme, w...
We investigate the all-or-nothing encryption paradigm which was introduced by Rivest as a new mode of operation for block ciphers. The paradigm involves composing an all-or-nothing...
