Authenticated encryption (AE) is a cryptographic construction that simultaneously protects
confidentiality and integrity. A considerable amount of research has been devoted to the …

Abstract The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated a public
standardization process to select one or more Authenticated Encryption with Associated …

Triggered by the increasing deployment of embedded cryptographic devices (eg, for the
IoT), the design of authentication, encryption and authenticated encryption schemes …

We explore the concrete side-channel security provided by state-of-theart higher-order
masked software implementations of the AES and the (candidate to the NIST Lightweight …

Twenty seven Round 2 candidates in the NIST Lightweight Cryptography (LWC) process
have been implemented in hardware by groups from all over the world. All implementations …

Deep Learning (DL) based Side-Channel Analysis (SCA) has been extremely popular
recently. DL-based SCA can easily break implementations protected by masking …

Substitution boxes (S-Boxes) are essential elements of modern block ciphers, serving as
non-linear characteristics that enhance the resistance of these ciphers against cryptanalysis …

Internet of Things (IoT) is a key enabling technology, wherein sensors are placed
ubiquitously to collect and exchange information with their surrounding nodes. Due to the …

This paper introduces and analyzes Triplex, a leakage-resistant mode of operation based on
Tweakable Block Ciphers (TBCs) with 2n-bit tweaks. Triplex enjoys beyond-birthday …

32-bit software implementations become increasingly popular for embedded security
applications. As a result, profiling 32-bit target intermediate values becomes increasingly …
