Cryptographic key exchange protocols traditionally rely on computational conjectures such
as the hardness of prime factorization to provide security against eavesdropping attacks …

Intel and AMD support the carry-less multiplication (CLMUL) instruction set in their x64
processors. We use CLMUL to implement an almost universal 64-bit hash family (CLHASH) …

Abstract Message Authentication Codes (MACs) are core algorithms deployed in virtually
every security protocol in common usage. In these protocols, the integrity and authenticity of …

Typical AE schemes are supposed to be secure when used as specified. However, they can–
and often do–fail miserably when used improperly. As a partial remedy, Rogaway and …

Random hashing can provide guarantees regarding the performance of data structures such
as hash tables–even in an adversarial setting. Many existing families of hash functions are …

In this paper, we introduce a new class of universal hash function families called almost
regular universal (ε− ARU). Informally, an ε− ARU hash function family is almost universal …

Modern cryptography has become an often ubiquitous but essential part of our daily lives.
Protocols for secure authentication and encryption protect our communication with various …

Tweakable ciphers are a building block used to construct a variety of cryptographic
algorithms. Typically, one proves (via a reduction) that a tweakable-cipher-based algorithm …
