We demonstrate new techniques to speed up the Rijndael (AES) block cipher using vector permute instructions. Because these techniques avoid data- and key-dependent branches and mem...
The security of hash functions based on a block cipher with a block length of m bits and a key length of k bits, where k ≤ m, is considered. New attacks are presented on a large ...
In 1985 Siegenthaler introduced the concept of correlation attacks on LFSR based stream ciphers. A few years later Meier and Staffelbach demonstrated a special technique, usually ...
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...
In this paper we are interested in algebraic immunity of several well known highly-nonlinear vectorial Boolean functions (or Sboxes), designed for block and stream ciphers. Unfortu...
