Feistel ciphers are very common and very important in the design and analysis of blockciphers, especially due to four reasons: (1) Many (DES-like) ciphers are based on Feistel’s ...
We initiate a study of on-line ciphers. These are ciphers that can take input plaintexts of large and varying lengths and will output the ith block of the ciphertext after having p...

In this paper we discuss the idea of block cipher embeddings and consider a natural algebraic framework for such constructions. In this approach we regard block cipher state spaces...
We introduce the concept of an elastic block cipher, which refers to stretching the supported block size of a block cipher to any length up to twice the original block size while ...
We describe a systematic framework for using a stream cipher supporting an initialisation vector (IV) to perform various tasks of authentication and authenticated encryption. These...
