Abstract. SQUARE, an 8-round substitution-permutation block cipher, is considered as the predecessor of the AES. In this paper, inspired from the recent biclique attack on the AES ...
In this paper we present a new 128-bit block cipher called Square. The original design of Square concentrates on the resistance against dierential and linear cryptanalysis. Howeve...
Square is 8-round SPN structure block cipher and its round function and key schedule have been slightly modified to design building blocks of Rijndael. Key schedule of Square is s...
Abstract. Khazad is a new block cipher initially proposed as a candidate to the NESSIE project. Its design is very similar to Rijndael, although it is a 64-bit block cipher. In thi...
In this paper, we present a general framework for evaluating the performance characteristics of block cipher structures composed of S-boxes and Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) ma...
