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

The Internet of Things (IoT) has become an integral part of future solutions, ranging from
industrial to everyday human life applications. Adding a new level of intelligence to objects …

We revisit designing AND-RX block ciphers, that is, the designs assembled with the most
fundamental binary operations—AND, Rotation and XOR operations and do not rely on …

When generating quartets for the rectangle attacks on ciphers with linear key-schedule, we
find the right quartets which may suggest key candidates have to satisfy some nonlinear …

The boomerang and rectangle attacks are adaptions of differential cryptanalysis that regard
the target cipher E as a composition of two sub-ciphers, ie, E= E1∘ E0, to construct a …

With the exponential growth of connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices around the world,
security protection and privacy preservation have risen to the forefront of design and …

Automatic modelling to search distinguishers with high probability covering as many rounds
as possible, such as MILP, SAT/SMT, CP models, has become a very popular cryptanalysis …

A multi-forkcipher (MFC) is a generalization of the forkcipher (FC) primitive introduced by
Andreeva et al. at ASIACRYPT'19. An MFC is a tweakable cipher that computes $ s $ output …

IoT devices collect privacy-sensitive data, eg, in smart grids or in medical devices, and send
this data to cloud servers for further processing. In order to ensure confidentiality as well as …

The selection criteria for NIST's Lightweight Crypto Standardization (LWC) have been slowly
shifting towards the lightweight efficiency of designs, given that a large number of …
