The block cipher RC2 was designed in 1989 by Ron Rivest for RSA Data Security Inc. In this paper we describe both the cipher and preliminary attempts to use both differential and l...

Abstract. This paper examines proposals for three cryptographic primitives: block ciphers, stream ciphers, and hash functions. It provides an overview of the design principles of a...
Abstract. In this paper we analyze the recently proposed light-weight block cipher PRINTCipher. Applying algebraic methods and SAT-solving we are able to break 8 rounds of PRINTCip...
Abstract. In this article, it is discussed how to construct a compression function with 2n-bit output using a component function with n-bit output. The component function is either...
Matsui's linear cryptanalysis for iterated block ciphers is generalized to an attack called. This attack exploits a weakness that can be described by an e ective partition-pa...
