We reconsider the provably collision resistant Very Smooth Hash and propose a small change in the design aiming to improve both performance and security. While the original proofs of security based on hardness of factoring or discrete logarithms are preser ...

Cryptographic primitives are the basic components of any cryptographic tool. Block ciphers, stream ciphers and hash functions are the fundamental primitives of symmetric cryptography. In symmetric cryptography, the communicating parties perform essentially ...
This paper describes an extremely efficient squaring operation in the so-called ‘cyclotomic subgroup’ of Fq6, for q≡1mod6. Our result arises from considering the Weil restriction of scalars of this group from Fq6 ...
This thesis studies the implications of using public key cryptographic primitives that are based in, or map to, the multiplicative group of finite fields with small extension degree. A central observation is that the multiplicative group of extension field ...

This thesis presents work on the efficiency and security of cryptographic software. First it describes several efforts to construct very efficient implementations of cryptographic primitives. These include the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) as well as ...
Nowadays, the most popular public-key cryptosystems are based on either the integer factorization or the discrete logarithm problem. The feasibility of solving these mathematical problems in practice is studied and techniques are presented to speed-up the ...
We develop a new methodology to assess cryptographic key strength using cloud computing, by calculating the true economic cost of (symmetric- or private-) key retrieval for the most common cryptographic primitives. Although the present paper gives the curr ...
Public key cryptography can introduce significant processing delays in vehicular communication platforms. This can lead to serious performance issues, especially in the case of multi-hop Inter-Vehicle Communication. In this paper we propose Adaptive Messag ...
Meeting the requirements of NIST’s new cryptographic standard ‘Suite B Cryptography’ means phasing out usage of 1024-bit RSA and 160-bit Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) by the year 2010. This write-up comments on the vulnerability of these systems to an ...
Symmetric cryptographic primitives such as block and stream ciphers are the building blocks in many cryptographic protocols. Having such blocks which provide provable security against various types of attacks is often hard. On the other hand, if possible, ...
