Abstract. This paper presents the first independent and systematic linear, differential and impossible-differential (ID) cryptanalyses of MIBS, a lightweight block cipher aimed at ...
Matsui's linear cryptanalysis for iterated block ciphers is generalized by replacing his linear expressions with I O sums. For a single round, an I O sum is the XOR of a balan...
Abstract. ESSENCE is a family of cryptographic hash functions, accepted to the first round of NIST's SHA-3 competition. This paper presents the first known attacks on ESSENCE....
This paper is motivated by the design of AES. We consider a broader question of cryptanalysis of block ciphers having very good non-linearity and diffusion. Can we expect anyway, ...
This paper shows how a well-balanced trade-off between a generic workstation and dumb but fast reconfigurable hardware can lead to a more efficient implementation of a cryptanalysi...
