For years, the cryptographic community has searched for good nonlinear functions. Bent functions, almost perfect nonlinear functions, and similar constructions have been suggested ...
Abstract. This paper presents xmx, a new symmetric block cipher optimized for public-key libraries and microcontrollers with arithmetic coprocessors. xmx has no S-boxes and uses on...
In this paper we present an improvement of the differential attack on hash functions based on block ciphers. By using the specific properties of the collision attack on hash functi...
—This paper proposes a novel fault-propagation pattern based differential fault analysis method - FPP-DFA, and proves its feasibility on SPN structure block ciphers using bitwise...
The block cipher family for lightweight devices, KTANTAN, is analyzed in this paper. We propose a new cryptanalysis method which improves results of Meet-in-the-Middle attacks on K...
