Signature schemes based on the MPC-in-the-head approach (MPCitH) have either been
designed by taking a proof system and selecting a suitable symmetric-key primitive (Picnic …

The boomerang attack is a cryptanalysis technique that combines two short differentials
instead of using a single long differential. It has been applied to many primitives, and results …

We present Orthros, a 128-bit block pseudorandom function. It is designed with primary
focus on latency of fully unrolled circuits. For this purpose, we adopt a parallel structure …

In this paper, we propose Tweak-aNd-Tweak (TNT TNT for short) mode, which builds a
tweakable block cipher from three independent block ciphers. TNT TNT handles the tweak …

Salsa and ChaCha are two of the most well-known stream ciphers in last two decades.
These two ciphers came into the picture when a massively used cipher RC4 was going …

Recent results show that the differential properties within quadruples boom as a new
inspiration in cryptanalysis of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)-like constructions …

AES is the most widely used symmetric cipher. Many cryptographic primitives are designed
following the structure of AES, called AES-like ciphers. Mixture differential cryptanalysis is a …

A new fundamental 4-round property of AES, called the zero-difference property, was
introduced by R {\o} njom, Bardeh and Helleseth at Asiacrypt 2017. Our work characterizes it …

This paper proposes Pholkos, a family of heavyweight tweakable block ciphers with state
and key sizes of≥ 256 and tweaks of either 128 or 256 bits. When encrypting large chunks …
