Designing an efficient cipher was always a delicate balance between linear and non-linear
operations. This goes back to the design of DES, and in fact all the way back to the seminal …

Invariant subspace attacks were introduced at CRYPTO 2011 to cryptanalyze PRINTcipher.
The invariant subspaces for PRINTcipher were discovered in an ad hoc fashion, leaving a …

With the enlargement of wireless technology, Internet of Things (IoT) is emerging as a
promising approach to realize smart cities and address lots of serious problems such as …

Abstract Iterated Even–Mansour (EM) encryption schemes (also named “key-alternating
ciphers”) were extensively studied in recent years as an abstraction of commonly used block …

Recent developments in the resource constrained devices have led to a renewed interest in
designing light‐weight primitives with inventive and unconventional structures. Using round …

An AES-like lightweight block cipher, namely Zorro, was proposed in CHES 2013. While it
has a 16-byte state, it uses only 4 S-Boxes per round. This weak nonlinearity was widely …

With the expansion of wireless technology, vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are
emerging as a promising approach for realizing smart cities and addressing many serious …

Slide attacks use pairs of encryption operations which are slid against each other. Slide with
a twist attacks are more sophisticated variants of slide attacks which slide an encryption …
