We analyze the security of elastic block ciphers against key-recovery attacks. An elastic version of a fixed-length block cipher is a variable-length block cipher that supports an...
In this paper we discuss the idea of block cipher embeddings and consider a natural algebraic framework for such constructions. In this approach we regard block cipher state spaces...
Abstract. We evaluate constructions for building pseudo-random functions (PRFs) from pseudo-random permutations (PRPs). We present two constructions: a slower construction which pr...

Abstract. Tweakable enciphering schemes are a certain type of blockcipher mode of operation which provide security in the sense of a strong pseudo-random permutation. It has been p...
