The CRC Handbook of Finite Fields (hereafter referred to as the Handbook) is a reference
book for the theory and applications of finite fields. It is not intended to be an introductory …

Orthogonal arrays have played a vital role in improving the quality of products manufactured
throughout the world. This first book on the subject since its introduction more than fifty years …

This book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date description of the methodologies and the
application areas, throughout the range of digital communication, in which individual signals …

A fundamental objective of cryptography is to enable two persons to communicate over an
insecure channel (a public channel such as the internet) in such a way that any other person …

Cryptographic Boolean Functions and Applications, Second Edition is designed to be a
comprehensive reference for the use of Boolean functions in modern cryptography. While …

A classical construction of stream ciphers is to combine several LFSRs and a highly non-
linear Boolean function f. Their security is usually analysed in terms of correlation attacks …

This chapter deals with multi-output Boolean functions viewed from a cryptographic
viewpoint, that is, functions from the vector space Fn2, of all binary vectors of length n, to the …

The subject of this thesis is the study of cryptographic hash functions. The importance of
hash functions for protecting the authenticity of information is demonstrated. Applications …

Many popular stream ciphers apply a filter/combiner to the state of one or several LFSRs.
Algebraic attacks on such ciphers [10, 11] are possible, if there is a multivariate relation …

Algebraic attacks on LFSR-based stream ciphers recover the secret key by solving an
overdefined system of multivariate algebraic equations. They exploit multivariate relations …
