— Finding low-weight multiples of a binary polynomial is a difficult problem arising in the context of stream ciphers cryptanalysis. The best algorithms to solve this problem ar...
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 ...
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...

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...
