Abstract Many attacks on encryption schemes rely on statistical considerations using plaintext/ciphertext pairs to find some information on the key. We provide here simple formula...
We introduce KFC, a block cipher based on a three round Feistel scheme. Each of the three round functions has an SPN-like structure for which we can either compute or bound the adv...
Abstract. Square is a multivariate quadratic encryption scheme proposed in 2009. It is a specialization of Hidden Field Equations by using only odd characteristic elds and also X2...
Abstract. In this paper we introduce the method of bi-linear cryptanalysis (BLC), designed specifically to attack Feistel ciphers. It allows to construct periodic biased character...
