Abstract. The recently developed algebraic attacks apply to all keystream generators whose internal state is updated by a linear transition function, including LFSR-based generator...
This paper is about the design of multivariate public key schemes, as well as block and stream ciphers, in relation to recent attacks that exploit various types of multivariate alg...
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...
Abstract. The recent algebraic attacks have received a lot of attention in cryptographic literature. The algebraic immunity of a Boolean function quantifies its resistance to the s...
In this paper we are interested in algebraic immunity of several well known highly-nonlinear vectorial Boolean functions (or Sboxes), designed for block and stream ciphers. Unfortu...
