This survey is the first work on the current standard for lightweight cryptography,
standardized in 2023. Lightweight cryptography plays a vital role in securing resource …

The security of resource-constrained devices is critical in the IoT field, given that everything
is interconnected. Therefore, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) …

Authenticated encryption satisfies the basic need for authenticity and confidentiality in our
information infrastructure. In this paper, we provide the specification of Ascon-128 and …

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

Differential cryptanalysis and linear cryptanalysis are the two best-known techniques for
cryptanalysis of block ciphers. In 1994, Langford and Hellman introduced the differential …

The security analysis of Keccak, the winner of SHA-3, has attracted considerable interest.
Recently, some attention has been paid to the analysis of keyed modes of Keccak sponge …

The two main classes of statistical cryptanalysis are the linear and differential attacks. They
have many variants and enhancements such as the multidimensional linear attacks and the …

The differential-linear cryptanalysis is an important cryptanalytic tool in cryptography, and
has been extensively researched since its discovery by Langford and Hellman in 1994 …

This paper evaluates the secure level of authenticated encryption Ascon against cube-like
method. Ascon submitted by Dobraunig et al. is one of 16 survivors of the 3rd round …

In CRYPTO 2019, Gohr first introduced a neural differential distinguisher for round-reduced
SPECK32/64 to distinguish ciphertext pairs with a specific input difference from random …
