Given d independent pseudorandom permutations (PRPs) i, . . . , d over {0, 1}n , it appears natural to define a pseudorandom function (PRF) by adding (or XORing) the permutation re...
Abstract. We investigate several alternate characterizations of pseudorandom functions (PRFs) and pseudorandom permutations (PRPs) in a concrete security setting. By analyzing the ...
In this paper, we define and analyze a new blockcipher mode of operation for encryption, CENC, which stands for Cipher-based ENCryption. CENC has the following advantages: (1) bey...
This paper considers the construction and analysis of pseudo-random functions (PRFs) with specific reference to modes of operations of a block cipher. In the context of message aut...
