Security of a modern block cipher is commonly measured in terms of its resistance to known attacks. While the provable security approach to block ciphers dates back to the first CRYPTO conference (1981), analysis of modern block cipher proposals typically ...
We consider the scenario where a group of wireless nodes want to exchange a secret key, such that no eavesdropper can guess the key. Today, this can be achieved using publickey cryptography, e.g., the Diffie-Hellman or the RSA keyexchange algorithms. Howev ...
We demonstrate the existence of an efficient block cipher with the property that whenever it is composed with any non-perfect cipher, the resulting product is strictly more secure, against an ideal adversary, than the original cipher. We call this property ...
The contributions of this paper include the first linear hull and a revisit of the algebraic cryptanalysis of reduced-round variants of the block cipher PRESENT, under known-plaintext and ciphertext- only settings. We introduce a pure algebraic cryptanalys ...
Linear cryptanalysis remains the most powerful attack against DES at this time. Given 243 known plaintext-ciphertext pairs, Matsui expected a complexity of less than 243 DES evaluations in 85% of the cases for recovering the key. In this paper, w ...
We demonstrate the existence of an efficient block cipher with the property that whenever it is composed with any non-perfect cipher, the resulting product is strictly more secure, against an ideal adversary, than the original cipher. We call this property ...
This dissertation is concerned with cryptanalysis of E0, the stream cipher used in the short-range wireless radio standard Bluetooth, and of its generalization by means of correlation attacks. It consists of three parts. In the first part, we propose an E0 ...
Block ciphers probably figure in the list of the most important cryptographic primitives. Although they are used for many different purposes, their essential goal is to ensure confidentiality. This thesis is concerned by their quantitative security, that i ...
In this paper, we present several weaknesses in the stream cipher RC4. First, we present a technique to automatically reveal linear correlations in the PRGA of RC4. With this method, 48 new exploitable correlations have been discovered. Then we bind these ...

Design and analysis of lightweight block ciphers have become more popular due to the fact that the future use of block ciphers in ubiquitous devices is generally assumed to be extensive. In this respect, several lightweight block ciphers are designed, of w ...
