The ultimate guide to cryptography, updated from an author team of the world's top
cryptography experts. Cryptography is vital to keeping information safe, in an era when the …

The first designs of cryptographic hash functions date back to the late 1970s; more
proposals emerged in the 1980s. During the 1990s, the number of hash function designs …

Nowadays, short message service (SMS) is being used in many daily life applications,
including healthcare monitoring, mobile banking, mobile commerce, and so on. But when …

Recently, there has been an increased focus and a sense of urgency in developing
standards for Power Grid systems centered on the need for interoperability. Given the threat …

With the current emergence of the Internet, there is a need to securely transfer images
between systems. In this context, we propose a secure image encryption algorithm that uses …

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) has been in existence over the last 11 years. It
was widely accepted as the de facto standard in many security-related applications such as …

Abstract In 2007, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced
a public contest aiming at the selection of a new standard for a cryptographic hash function …

In this document we present SHAvite-3, a secure and efficient hash function based on the
HAIFA construction and the AES building blocks. SHAvite-3 uses a well understood set of …

This paper presents the design of a lightweight, yet software friendly, block cipher. Most of
the lightweight block ciphers are nibble-oriented as the implementation of a 4-bit S-box is …

Several successful cache-based attacks have provided strong impetus for developing side
channel resistant software implementations of AES. One of the best-known …
