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...
The XSL “algorithm” is a method for solving systems of multivariate polynomial equations based on the linearization method. It was proposed in 2002 as a dedicated method for ex...
Bit-slicing is a non-conventional implementation technique for cryptographic software where an n-bit processor is considered as a collection of n 1-bit execution units operating in...
A method for extracting cryptographic key material from DRAM used in modern computers has been recently proposed in [9]; the technique was called Cold Boot attacks. When considerin...
Abstract. XL was first introduced to solve determined or overdetermined systems of equations over a finite field as an “algebraic attack” against multivariate cryptosystems....
