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...
We propose a general framework for differential and linear cryptanalysis of block ciphers when the block is not a bitstring. We prove piling-up lemmas for the generalized different...
The purpose of algebraic attacks on stream and block ciphers is to recover the secret key by solving an overdefined system of multivariate algebraic equations. They become very eff...
We present PEP, which is a new construction of a tweakable strong pseudo-random permutation. PEP uses a hash-encrypt-hash approach which has recently been used in the construction...
