Abstract. The shrinking generator is a well-known keystream generator composed of two linear feedback shift registers, LFSR1 and LFSR2, where LFSR1 is clock-controlled according to...
ARMADILLO2 is the recommended variant of a multi-purpose cryptographic primitive dedicated to hardware which has been proposed by Badel et al. in [1]. In this paper we propose a me...
Abstract. XL was first introduced to solve determined or overdetermined systems of equations over a finite field as an “algebraic attack” against multivariate cryptosystems....
KISS (‘Keep it Simple Stupid’) is an efficient pseudo-random number generator originally specified by G. Marsaglia and A. Zaman in 1993. G. Marsaglia in 1998 posted a C versio...
Abstract. We explore three applications of geometric sequences in constructing cryptographic Boolean functions. First, we construct 1-resilient functions of n Boolean variables wit...
