The software-efficient stream cipher HC-256 was proposed by Wu at FSE 2004. Due to its impressive performance, the cipher was also a well-received entrant to the ECRYPT eSTREAM com...
Klimov and Shamir proposed a new class of simple cryptographic primitives named T-functions. For two concrete proposals based on the squaring operation, a single word T-function an...
Many popular stream ciphers apply a filter/combiner to the state of one or several LFSRs. Algebraic attacks on such ciphers [10, 11] are possible, if there is a multivariate relat...
We present several attacks against Achterbahn, one of the new stream ciphers proposed to the eSTREAM competition. Our best attack breaks the reduced version of the cipher with comp...
Abstract. A new stream cipher, Grain, is proposed. The design targets hardware environments where gate count, power consumption and memory is very limited. It is based on two shift...
