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

Due to Shor's algorithm, quantum computers are a severe threat for public key cryptography.
This motivated the cryptographic community to search for quantum-safe solutions. On the …

Recent work on searchable symmetric encryption (SSE) has focused on increasing its
expressiveness. A notable example is the OXT construction (Cash et al., CRYPTO'13) which …

With a scheme for robust authenticated-encryption a user can select an arbitrary value λ\! ≥
0 and then encrypt a plaintext of any length into a ciphertext that's λ characters longer. The …

Abstract We propose the Synthetic Counter-in-Tweak (SCT) mode, which turns a tweakable
block cipher into a nonce-based authenticated encryption scheme (with associated data) …

Scenarios in which authenticated encryption schemes output decrypted plaintext before
successful verification raise many security issues. These situations are sometimes …

A popular approach to tweakable blockcipher design is via masking, where a certain
primitive (a blockcipher or a permutation) is preceded and followed by an easy-to-compute …

This paper presents a lightweight blockcipher-based authenticated encryption mode mainly
focusing on minimizing the implementation size, ie, hardware gates or working memory on …

This paper proposes a new scheme for authenticated encryption (AE) which is typically
realized as a blockcipher mode of operation. The proposed scheme has attractive features …

Secure and highly efficient authenticated encryption (AE) algorithms which achieve data
confidentiality and authenticity in the symmetric-key setting have existed for well over a …
