In this paper we analyze the block cipher SAFER K. First, we show a weakness in the key schedule, that has the effect that for almost every key there exists on the average three an...
The SC2000 block cipher has a 128-bit block size and a user key of 128, 192 or 256 bits, which employs a total of 6.5 rounds if a 128bit user key is used. It is a CRYPTREC recommen...
The Hill cipher is a classical symmetric encryption algorithm that succumbs to the know-plaintext attack. Although its vulnerability to cryptanalysis has rendered it unusable in p...
Coppersmith described at Eurocrypt 96 an algorithm for finding small roots of bivariate integer polynomial equations, based on lattice reduction. A simpler algorithm was later pro...
This paper revisits a public key cryptosystem which is based on finite string-rewriting systems. We consider a new approach for cryptanalysis of such proposals—the so-called com...
