In this paper we evaluate the resistance of the block cipher RC5 against linear cryptanalysis. We describe a known plaintext attack that can break RC5-32 (blocksize 64) with 10 rou...
Non-linear cryptanalysis is a natural extension to Matsui’s linear cryptanalitic techniques in which linear approximations are replaced by nonlinear expressions. Non-linear appro...
This paper is motivated by the design of AES. We consider a broader question of cryptanalysis of block ciphers having very good non-linearity and diffusion. Can we expect anyway, ...
Abstract. Recent developments in the field of cryptanalysis of hash functions has inspired NIST to announce a competition for selecting a new cryptographic hash function to join t...
CTC is a toy cipher designed in order to assess the strength of algebraic attacks. While the structure of CTC is deliberately weak with respect to algebraic attacks, it was claimed...
