We present our further observations on the structure of the AES algorithm relating to the cyclic properties of the functions used in this cipher. We note that the maximal period of...
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...
The software-efficient stream cipher HC-256 was proposed by Wu at FSE 2004. Due to its impressive performance, the cipher was also a well-received entrant to the ECRYPT eSTREAM com...
Abstract. This paper investigates the design of S-boxes used for combining linear feedback shift register (LFSR) sequences in combination generators. Such combination generators ha...
This paper presents an operational reconstruction technique of most stream ciphers. We primarily expose it for key-stream generators which consist of several linear feedback shift ...
