Abstract. This paper examines proposals for three cryptographic primitives: block ciphers, stream ciphers, and hash functions. It provides an overview of the design principles of a...
PANAMA is a cryptographic module that was presented at the FSE Workshop in ’98 by Joan Daemen and Craig Clapp. It can serve both as a stream cipher and as a cryptographic hash fu...

Hash functions are an important building block in almost all security applications. In the past few years, there have been major advances in the cryptanalysis of hash functions, es...
We show that every construction of one-time signature schemes from a random oracle achieves black-box security at most 2(1+o(1))q , where q is the total number of oracle queries a...
Many applications require protection of secret or sensitive information, from sensor nodes and embedded applications to large distributed systems. The confidentiality of data can b...
