Abstract. The CBC-MAC or cipher block chaining message authentication code, is a well-known method to generate message authentication codes. Unfortunately, it is not forgery-secure...
We show two methods of distinguishing the LEVIATHAN stream cipher from a random stream using 236 bytes of output and proportional effort; both arise from compression within the ci...
We propose a new cryptographic primitive, the “tweakable block cipher.” Such a cipher has not only the usual inputs—message and cryptographic key—but also a third input, th...
Constructions for hash functions based on a block cipher are studied where the size of the hashcode is equal to the block length of the block cipher and where the key size is appro...
