In this paper we present a new 128-bit block cipher called Square. The original design of Square concentrates on the resistance against dierential and linear cryptanalysis. Howeve...
This paper presents several methods to construct trapdoor block ciphers. A trapdoor cipher contains some hidden structure; knowledge of this structure allows an attacker to obtain ...
Designers of cryptographic systems are at a disadvantage to most other engineers, in that information on how their systems fail is hard to get: their major users have traditionall...
Abstract. Since Crypto 2004, hash functions have been the target of many attacks which showed that several well-known functions such as SHA-0 or MD5 can no longer be considered sec...
Abstract. We present a fast involutional block cipher optimized for reconfigurable hardware implementations. ICEBERG uses 64-bit text blocks and 128-bit keys. All components are in...
