Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the distributed systems environment
connecting billions of devices to the Internet, and quantum computing is an emerging …

Efficient PRP/PRFs are instrumental to the design of cryptographic protocols. We investigate
the design of dedicated PRP/PRFs for three application areas-secure multiparty computation …

Seminal results by Luby and Rackoff show that the 3-round Feistel cipher is secure against
chosen-plaintext attacks (CPAs), and the 4-round version is secure against chosen …

Post-quantum cryptography has attracted much attention from worldwide cryptologists.
However, most research works are related to public-key cryptosystem due to Shor's attack …

Abstract The Luby-Rackoff construction, or the Feistel construction, is one of the most
important approaches to construct secure block ciphers from secure pseudorandom …

In this paper, we study the quantum security of block ciphers based on Simon's period-
finding quantum algorithm. We explored the relations between periodic functions and …

Simon's algorithm is a well-known quantum algorithm which can achieve an exponential
acceleration over classical algorithm. It has been widely used in quantum cryptanalysis of …

The advent of large-scale quantum computers would greatly threaten the security of current
cryptosystems. It is urgent to investigate how quantum computing will affect the security of …

Quantum computing is a promising paradigm that can provide viable solutions to high-
complexity problems. The k-medoids algorithm is a powerful clustering method ubiquitously …

Safeguarding current and future IT security from quantum computers implies more than the
mere development of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithms. Much work in this …
