Abstract. A simple one-way function along with its proposed application in symmetric cryptography is described. The function is computable with three elementary operations on permu...
An one-way hash chain generated by the iterative use of a one-way hash function on a secret value has recently been widely employed to develop many practical cryptographic solution...
Abstract. This paper discusses the state-of-the-art software optimization methodology for symmetric cryptographic primitives on Pentium III and 4 processors. We aim at maximizing s...
We put forward a new model for understanding the security of symmetric-key primitives, such as block ciphers. The model captures the fact that many such primitives often consist of...
