We propose a general framework for differential and linear cryptanalysis of block ciphers when the block is not a bitstring. We prove piling-up lemmas for the generalized different...
Abstract. In this article, it is discussed how to construct a compression function with 2n-bit output using a component function with n-bit output. The component function is either...
We present several attacks against Achterbahn, one of the new stream ciphers proposed to the eSTREAM competition. Our best attack breaks the reduced version of the cipher with comp...
In this paper, we define and analyze a new blockcipher mode of operation for encryption, CENC, which stands for Cipher-based ENCryption. CENC has the following advantages: (1) bey...
Self-Synchronizing Stream Ciphers (SSSC) are a particular class of symmetric encryption algorithms, such that the resynchronization is automatic, in case of error during the transm...
