Abstract. Khazad is a new block cipher initially proposed as a candidate to the NESSIE project. Its design is very similar to Rijndael, although it is a 64-bit block cipher. In thi...
We present a technique which aids in the linear cryptanalysis of a block cipher and allows for a reduction in the amount of data required for a successful attack. We note the limit...
In this paper, we present a new block cipher, referred as PUFFIN2, that is designed to be used with applications requiring very low circuit area. PUFFIN2 is designed to be impleme...
