In numerous modern stream ciphers, the internal state consists of a large array of pseudo-random words, and the output key-stream is a relatively simple function of the state. In ...
The stream cipher Py designed by Biham and Seberry is a submission to the ECRYPT stream cipher competition. The cipher is based on two large arrays (one is 256 bytes and the other ...
Abstract. Stream ciphers play an important role in symmetric cryptology because of their suitability in high speed applications where block ciphers fall short. A large number of fa...
Klimov and Shamir proposed a new class of simple cryptographic primitives named T-functions. For two concrete proposals based on the squaring operation, a single word T-function an...
In this paper we present new and more accurate estimates of the biases of the linear approximation of the FSM of the stream cipher SNOW 2.0. Based on improved bias estimates we als...
