Signcryption, first proposed by Zheng [4,5], is a cryptographic primitive which combines both the functions of digital signature and public key encryption in a logical single step,...
In this article, we look at the elliptic curve cryptography, which is believed to be one of the most promising candidates for the next generation cryptographic tool. The following ...
In this paper we describe our new CS2 block cipher which is an extension of the original CS-Cipher. Our new design inherits the efficiency of the original design while being upgrad...
ICE is a 64-bit block cipher presented at the Fast Software Encryption Workshop in January 1997. It introduced the concept of a keyed permutation to improve the resistance against ...
The block cipher RC2 was designed in 1989 by Ron Rivest for RSA Data Security Inc. In this paper we describe both the cipher and preliminary attempts to use both differential and l...

In this paper we discuss PRNGs: the mechanisms used by real-world secure systems to generate cryptographic keys, initialization vectors, "random" nonces, and other values...

Ding et al [DNRS97] propose a stream generator based on several layers. We present several attacks. First, we observe that the non-surjectivity of a linear combination step allows ...
