Abstract. Since being officially selected as the new Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Rijndael has continued to receive great attention and has had its security continuously eva...
We give an outline of the specification and provable security features of the QUAD stream cipher proposed at Eurocrypt 2006 [6]. The cipher relies on the iteration of a multivaria...
Abstract. In 2002, algebraic attacks using overdefined systems of equations have been proposed as a potentially very powerful cryptanalysis technique against block ciphers. However...
QUAD is a stream cipher whose provable security relies on the hardness of solving systems of multivariate quadratic equations. This paper explores FPGA implementations of the stre...
A method for extracting cryptographic key material from DRAM used in modern computers has been recently proposed in [9]; the technique was called Cold Boot attacks. When considerin...
