The hardware-attractive block cipher family KTANTAN was studied by Bogdanov and Rechberger who identified flaws in the key schedule and gave a meet-in-the-middle attack. We revis...
Abstract. Even and Mansour [EM97] proposed a block cipher construction that takes a publicly computable random permutation oracle P and XORs different keys prior to and after appl...
This paper presents a hardware-optimized variant of the well-known Gaussian elimination over GF(2) and its highly efficient implementation. The proposed hardware architecture, we...
Cryptographic algorithms play a key role in computer security and the formal analysis of their robustness is of utmost importance. Yet, logic and automated reasoning tools are seld...
Non-linear cryptanalysis is a natural extension to Matsui’s linear cryptanalitic techniques in which linear approximations are replaced by nonlinear expressions. Non-linear appro...
