Abstract. In this paper we compare systems of multivariate polynomials, which completely define the block ciphers Khazad, Misty1, Kasumi, Camellia, Rijndael and Serpent in the vie...
Most last-round attacks on iterated block ciphers provide some design criteria for the round function. Here, we focus on the links between the underlying properties. Most notably, ...
This paper reviews constructions of hash functions and MAC algorithms based on block ciphers. It discusses the main requirements for these cryptographic primitives, motivates these...
At the Asiacrypt 2003 conference Billet and Gilbert introduce a block cipher, which, to quote them, has the following paradoxical traceability properties: it is computationally ea...
In this paper, we present a statistical saturation attack that combines previously introduced cryptanalysis techniques against block ciphers. As the name suggests, the attack is st...
