Abstract. In this paper, we study the security of the Encrypt-MaskDecrypt mode of operation, also called EMD, which was recently proposed for applications such as disk-sector encry...
We present PEP, which is a new construction of a tweakable strong pseudo-random permutation. PEP uses a hash-encrypt-hash approach which has recently been used in the construction...
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...
The most common way to implement full-disk encryption (as opposed to encrypted file systems) in the GNU/Linux operating system is using the encrypted loop device, known as CryptoL...
