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...
Matsui's linear cryptanalysis for iterated block ciphers is generalized by replacing his linear expressions with I O sums. For a single round, an I O sum is the XOR of a balan...
Cache timing attacks are a class of side-channel attacks that is applicable against certain software implementations. They have generated significant interest when demonstrated ag...
Linear cryptanalysis, along with differential cryptanalysis, is an important tool to evaluate the security of block ciphers. This work introduces a novel extension of linear crypt...
