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...
We describe a block-cipher mode of operation, CMC, that turns an n-bit block cipher into a tweakable enciphering scheme that acts on strings of mn bits, where m ≥ 2. When the und...
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...
Abstract. In this paper, we study the security of the Encrypt-MaskDecrypt mode of operation, also called EMD, which was recently proposed for applications such as disk-sector encry...
This work builds on earlier work by Rogaway at Asiacrypt 2004 on tweakable block cipher (TBC) and modes of operations. Our first contribution is to generalize Rogaway's TBC co...
