Abstract. In this paper we present an attack on a reduced round version of Crypton. The attack is based on the dedicated Square attack. We explain why the attack also works on Cryp...

Whereas a block cipher enciphers messages of some one particular length the blocklength, a variable-input-length cipher takes messages of varying and preferably arbitrary leng...
The DES has reached the end of its lifetime due to its too short key length and block length (56 and 64 bits respectively). As we are awaiting the new AES, triple (and double) encr...
In this paper we evaluate the resistance of the block cipher RC5 against linear cryptanalysis. We describe a known plaintext attack that can break RC5-32 (blocksize 64) with 10 rou...
We introduce “mod n cryptanalysis,” a form of partitioning attack that is effective against ciphers which rely on modular addition and bit rotations for their security. We dem...
