Motivated by new applications such as secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC), Fully
Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), and Zero-Knowledge proofs (ZK), the need for symmetric …

Bent Functions: Results and Applications to Cryptography offers a unique survey of the
objects of discrete mathematics known as Boolean bent functions. As these maximal …

Skein is a new family of cryptographic hash functions. Its design combines speed, security,
simplicity, and a great deal of flexibility in a modular package that is easy to analyze. Skein …

Linear cryptanalysis, along with differential cryptanalysis, is an important tool to evaluate the
security of block ciphers. This work introduces a novel extension of linear cryptanalysis: zero …

In the modern era of secure communication, it is important to create uncertainty in the
original data in order to avoid unauthorized entities to extract or manipulate information …

Differential cryptanalysis and linear cryptanalysis are the two best-known techniques for
cryptanalysis of block ciphers. In 1994, Langford and Hellman introduced the differential …

Illustrating the power of algorithms, Algorithmic Cryptanalysis describes algorithmic methods
with cryptographically relevant examples. Focusing on both private-and public-key …

Several generalizations of linear cryptanalysis have been proposed in the past, as well as
very similar attacks in a statistical point of view. In this paper, we define a rigorous general …

We study the probability distributions of difference propagation probabilities and input-output
correlations for functions and block ciphers of given dimensions, for several of them for the …

Zero correlation linear cryptanalysis is a novel key recovery technique for block ciphers
proposed in [5]. It is based on linear approximations with probability of exactly 1/2 (which …
