Randomness extractors are important tools in cryptography. Their goal is to compress a high-entropy source into a more uniform output. Beyond their theoretical interest, they have ...
Impossible boomerang attack [5] (IBA) is a new variant of differential cryptanalysis against block ciphers. Evident from its name, it combines the ideas of both impossible differ...
In this paper we give a specification of a new block cipher that can be called the Courtois Toy Cipher (CTC). It is quite simple, and yet very much like any other known block ciph...
A vast amount of literature on stream ciphers is directed to the cryptanalysis of LFSR-based filters and combiners, resulting in various attack models such as distinguishing attac...
Cryptographic hash functions are often built on block ciphers in order to reduce the security of the hash to that of the cipher, and to minimize the hardware size. Proven secure co...
