of Simon and Speck 19 January 2018 1. Introduction In 2011, prompted by potential US …

Permutation-based modes have been established for lightweight authenticated encryption,
as can be seen from the high interest in the ongoing NIST lightweight competition. However …

S IMON is a lightweight block cipher designed by NSA in 2013. NSA presented the
specification and the implementation efficiency, but they did not provide detailed security …

SIMON, a family of lightweight block ciphers, has received much attention from the
cryptology community due to its improved performance for hardware compared with that of …

This paper proposes improved algebraic attacks that are effective for lightweight block
ciphers. Concretely, we propose a new framework that leverages on algebraic …

As far as we know, for impossible differentials and zero correlation linear hulls of SIMON-like
ciphers (denoted as SIMON in our paper), the distinguishers previously constructed by the …

SIMON is a new family of lightweight block ciphers proposed by the National Security
Agency (NSA) in 2013. Since its publication, it has attracted much research interest and a …

The current paper analyzes the key schedule function of lightweight block cipher Simon,
which was designed by NSA in 2013. In particular, a list of all iterative key differences is …

Cryptanalysis based on deep learning has become a hotspot in the international
cryptography community since it was proposed. The key point of differential cryptanalysis …

There are two major families in cryptanalytic attacks on symmetric ciphers: statistical attacks
and algebraic attacks. In this position paper we argue that algebraic cryptanalysis has not …
