Block ciphers encrypt blocks of plaintext, messages, into blocks of ciphertext under the action of a secret key, and the process of encryption is reversed by decryption which uses the same user-supplied key. Block ciphers are fundamental to modern cryptography, in fact they are the most widely used cryptographic primitive – useful in their own right, and in the construction of other cryptographic mechanisms. In this book the authors provide a technically detailed, yet readable, account of the state of the art of block cipher analysis, design, and deployment. The authors first describe the most prominent block ciphers and give insights into their design. They then consider the role of the cryptanalyst, the adversary, and provide an overview of some of the most important cryptanalytic methods. The book will be of value to graduate and senior undergraduate students of cryptography and to professionals engaged in cryptographic design. An important feature of the presentation is the authors' exhaustive bibliography of the field, each chapter closing with comprehensive supporting notes.
An authoritative and comprehensive guide to the Rijndael algorithm and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES is expected to gradually replace the present Data Encryption Standard (DES) as the most widely applied data encryption technology. This book, written by the designers of the block cipher, presents Rijndael from scratch. The underlying mathematics and the wide trail strategy as the basic design idea are explained in detail and the basics of differential and linear cryptanalysis are reworked. Subsequent chapters review all known attacks against the Rijndael structure and deal with implementation and optimization issues. Finally, other ciphers related to Rijndael are presented.
This book contains a set of revised refereed papers selected from the presentations at the Second International Workshop on Fast Software Encryption held in Leuven, Belgium, in December 1994. The 28 papers presented significantly advance the state of the art of software algorithms for two cryptographic primitives requiring very high speeds, namely encryption algorithms and hash functions: this volume contains six proposals for new ciphers as well as new results on the security of the new proposals. In addition, there is an introductory overview by the volume editor. The papers are organized in several sections on stream ciphers and block ciphers; other papers deal with new algorithms and protocols or other recent results.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 12th International Workshop on Fast Software Encryption, FSE 2005, held in Paris, France in February 2005. The 29 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 96 submissions. The papers address all current aspects of fast primitives for symmetric cryptology, including the design, cryptanalysis, and implementation of block ciphers, stream ciphers, hash functions, and message authentication codes.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th Australasian Conference on Information Security and Privacy, ACISP 2006, held in Melbourne, Australia, July 2006. The book presents 35 revised full papers and 1 invited paper, organized in topical sections on stream ciphers, symmetric key ciphers, network security, cryptographic applications, secure implementation, signatures, theory, security applications, provable security, protocols, as well as hashing and message authentication.
This book constÃtutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the 4th International Conference on the Advanced Encryption Standard, AES 2004, held in Bonn, Germany in May 2004. The 10 revised full papers presented together with an introductory survey and 4 invited papers by leading researchers were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in topical sections on cryptanalytic attacks and related topics, algebraic attacks and related results, hardware implementations, and other topics. All in all, the papers constitute a most up-to-date assessment of the state of the art of data encryption using the Advanced Encryption Standard AES, the de facto world standard for data encryption.
This volume constitutes the selected papers of the 16th Annual International Workshop on Selected Areas in Cryptography, SAC 2009, held in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, in August 13-14 2009. From a total of 99 technical papers, 27 papers were accepted for presentation at the workshop. They cover the following topics: hash functions, on block and stream ciphers, public key schemes, implementation, and privacy-enhancing cryptographic systems.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Cryptology in India, INDOCRYPT 2003, held in New Delhi, India in December 2003. The 29 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 101 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on stream ciphers, block ciphers, Boolean functions, secret sharing, bilinear pairings, public key cryptography, signature schemes, protocols, elliptic curve cryptography and algebraic geometry, implementation and digital watermarking, and authentication.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Information Security Conference, ISC 2007. Coverage in the 28 revised full papers presented includes intrusion detection, digital rights management, symmetric-key cryptography, cryptographic protocols and schemes, identity-based schemes, cryptanalysis, DoS protection, software obfuscation, public-key cryptosystems, elliptic curves and applications and security issues in databases.
The chapters in this open access book arise out of the EU Cost Action project Cryptacus, the objective of which was to improve and adapt existent cryptanalysis methodologies and tools to the ubiquitous computing framework. The cryptanalysis implemented lies along four axes: cryptographic models, cryptanalysis of building blocks, hardware and software security engineering, and security assessment of real-world systems. The authors are top-class researchers in security and cryptography, and the contributions are of value to researchers and practitioners in these domains.
