Matsui's linear cryptanalysis for iterated block ciphers is generalized by replacing his linear expressions with I O sums. For a single round, an I O sum is the XOR of a balan...
Abstract. Highly nonlinear Boolean functions occupy an important position in the design of secure block as well as stream ciphers. This paper proves two new lower bounds on the non...
Abstract. In this paper, we give a security proof for Abreast-DM in terms of collision resistance and preimage resistance. As old as Tandem-DM, the compression function Abreast-DM ...

This note presents a new way of composing cryptographic primitives which makes some novel combinations possible. For example, one can do threshold decryption using standard block c...
