DECIM is a hardware oriented stream cipher with an 80-bit key and a 64-bit IV. In this paper, we point out two serious flaws in DECIM. One flaw is in the initialization of DECIM. I...
Abstract. Sober-t32 is a candidate stream cipher in the NESSIE competition. Some new attacks are presented in this paper. A Guess and Determine attack is mounted against Sober-t32 ...
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...
This paper shows how a well-balanced trade-off between a generic workstation and dumb but fast reconfigurable hardware can lead to a more efficient implementation of a cryptanalysi...
