Abstract. The need of true random number generators for many purposes (ranging from applications in cryptography and stochastic simulation, to search heuristics and game playing) i...
This paper contains several attacks on the hash function MD2 which has a hash code size of 128 bits. At Asiacrypt 2004 Muller presents the first known preimage attack on MD2. The ...
1 This paper presents a new hash function design, which is different from the popular designs of the MD4-family. Seen in the light of recent attacks on MD4, MD5, SHA-0, SHA-1, and...
A T-function is a mapping from n-bit words to n-bit words in which for each 0 ≤ i < n, bit i of any output word can depend only on bits 0, 1, . . . , i of any input word. All ...
In this paper, we describe a sequence of simple, yet efficient chosen-plaintext (or chosen-ciphertext) attacks against reduced-round versions of IDEA (with 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, and 4 ro...
Abstract. Algebraic attacks on stream ciphers apply (at least theoretically) to all LFSR-based stream ciphers that are clocked in a simple and/or easily predictable way. One intere...
In this paper we define small scale variants of the AES. These variants inherit the design features of the AES and provide a suitable framework for comparing different cryptanaly...
This paper presents the results of a preliminary analysis of the stream cipher Mugi. We study the nonlinear component of this cipher and identify several potential weaknesses in it...
