Abstract. We give a careful, fixed-size parameter analysis of a standard [1,4] way to form a pseudorandom generator by iterating a one-way function and then pseudo-random function...
Serpent is a 32-round AES block cipher finalist. In this paper we present several attacks on reduced-round variants of Serpent that require less work than exhaustive search. We at...
Abstract. The paradigms currently used to realize symmetric encryption schemes secure against adaptive chosen ciphertext attack (CCA) try to make it infeasible for an attacker to f...
We propose an hardware solution to several security problems that are difficult to solve on classical processor architectures, like licensing, electronic commerce, or software pri...
In this paper we evaluate the resistance of the block cipher RC5 against linear cryptanalysis. We describe a known plaintext attack that can break RC5-32 (blocksize 64) with 10 rou...
