For years, the cryptographic community has searched for good nonlinear functions. Bent functions, almost perfect nonlinear functions, and similar constructions have been suggested ...
This paper studies the application of slide attacks to hash functions. Slide attacks have mostly been used for block cipher cryptanalysis. But, as shown in the current paper, they ...
The need for lightweight (that is, compact, low-power, low-energy) cryptographic hash functions has been repeatedly expressed by application designers, notably for implementing RFI...
T-functions were introduced by Klimov and Shamir in a series of papers during the last few years. They are of great interest for cryptography as they may provide some new building ...
This paper is about the design of multivariate public key schemes, as well as block and stream ciphers, in relation to recent attacks that exploit various types of multivariate alg...
