The holy grail of a mathematical model of secure encryption is to devise a model that is both faithful in its description of the real world, and yet admits a construction for an en...
As the core operation of many public key cryptosystems, group exponentiation is central to cryptography. Attacks on its implementation in embedded device setting is hence of great ...
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 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...
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...
