Abstract. We present a fast involutional block cipher optimized for reconfigurable hardware implementations. ICEBERG uses 64-bit text blocks and 128-bit keys. All components are in...
We study the differential probability adp of exclusive-or when differences are expressed using addition modulo 2N . This function is important when analysing symmetric primitives t...
Abstract. We develop several tools to derive linear independent multivariate equations from algebraic S-boxes. By applying them to maximally nonlinear power functions with the inve...

Recent research shows that the class of Rotation Symmetric Boolean Functions (RSBFs), i.e., the class of Boolean functions that are invariant under circular translation of indices,...

Abstract. A simple one-way function along with its proposed application in symmetric cryptography is described. The function is computable with three elementary operations on permu...
Symmetric encryption schemes are usually formalized so as to make the encryption operation a probabilistic or state-dependent function E of the message M and the key K: the user su...
In this paper we study the minimum distance between the set of bent functions and the set of 1-resilient Boolean functions and present a lower bound on that. The bound is proved to...
Abstract. In a related-key attack, the adversary is allowed to transform the secret key and request encryptions of plaintexts under the transformed key. This paper studies the secu...
