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

Mobile device and its applications have revolutionized the way we store and share data. It is
becoming a warehouse of users personal information. Unluckily, most of these data are …

ElimLin is a simple algorithm for solving polynomial systems of multivariate equations over
small finite fields. It was initially proposed as a single tool by Courtois to attack DES. It can …

Human relationships rely on trust, which is the reason that the authentication and related
digital signatures are the most complex and confusing areas of cryptography. The Massage …

This paper reports on higher-order square analysis of the AES cipher. We present
experimental results of attack simulations on mini-AES versions with word sizes of 3, 4, 5, 6 …

In this study, the authors analyse with respect to algebraic attacks a small-scale version of
the stream cipher Lex. They base it on a small-scale version of the block cipher advanced …

This thesis is a contribution to the field of algebraic cryptanalysis. Specifically the following
topics have been studied: We construct and analyze Feistel and SLN ciphers that have a …

On November 26, 2001, the block cipher Rijndael [19] was officially selected as the
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and published as FIPS 197 [1], following a 5-year …

The development of modern cryptography is associated with the emergence of computing
machines. Since specialized equipment for protection of sensitive information was initially …

Abstract XSL (eXtended Sparse Linearization) is a recent algebraic attack aimed at the
Advanced Encryption Standard. In order to shed some light into the behavior of the …
