Abstract. Synchronous stream ciphers need perfect synchronization between sender and receiver. In practice, this is ensured by a resync mechanism. Daemen et al. [10] first describ...
This paper is about the design of multivariate public key schemes, as well as block and stream ciphers, in relation to recent attacks that exploit various types of multivariate alg...
Recently proposed algebraic attacks [2, 6] and fast algebraic attacks [1, 5] have provided the best analyses against some deployed LFSR-based ciphers. The process complexity is exp...
Algebraic attacks on stream ciphers [14] recover the key by solving an overdefined system of multivariate equations. Such attacks can break several interesting cases of LFSR-based ...
This paper presents an operational reconstruction technique of most stream ciphers. We primarily expose it for key-stream generators which consist of several linear feedback shift ...
