In this paper, we describe a solution to the register synthesis problem for a class of sequence generators known as Algebraic Feedback Shift Registers. These registers are based o...
The Hill cipher is a classical symmetric encryption algorithm that succumbs to the know-plaintext attack. Although its vulnerability to cryptanalysis has rendered it unusable in p...
NLS is a stream cipher which was submitted to eSTREAM project. A linear distinguishing attack against NLS was presented by Cho and Pieprzyk, which was called as Crossword Puzzle at...
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...
The previous key recovery attacks against Helix obtain the key with about 288 operations using chosen nonces (reusing nonce) and about 1000 adaptively chosen plaintext words (or 23...
