ShiftRows Alternatives for AES-like Ciphers and Optimal Cell Permutations for Midori and Skinny
ShiftRows Alternatives for AES-like Ciphers and Optimal Cell Permutations for Midori and Skinny
We study possible alternatives for ShiftRows to be used as cell permutations in AES-like ciphers. As observed during the design process of the block cipher Midori, when using a …

Mind the Gap - A Closer Look at the Security of Block Ciphers against Differential Cryptanalysis
Resistance against differential cryptanalysis is an important design criteria for any modern block cipher and most designs rely on finding some upper bound on probability of single …

Finding Integral Distinguishers with Ease
The division property method is a technique to determine integral distinguishers on block ciphers. While the complexity of finding these distinguishers is higher, it has recently …

How to instantiate Hash-based Signatures?
A brief comparison of SIMON and SIMECK,
The SKINNY Family of Block Ciphers and its Low-Latency Variant MANTIS
We present a new tweakable block cipher family SKINNY, whose goal is to compete with NSA recent design SIMON in terms of hardware/software performances, while proving in addition …

A Brief Comparison of Simon and Simeck
Simeck is a new lightweight block cipher design based on combining the design principles of the Simon and Speck block cipher. While the design allows a smaller and more efficient …
