Block ciphers are invertible symmetric key cryptographic algorithms. Here, symmetric means that the same cryptographic key is used to both encrypt and decrypt messages. The key is used to transform ...

For decades, a quiet intuition shaped how engineers approached the Generalized Feistel Network — the multi-branch block cipher architecture behind Sony's CLEFIA, the international lightweight ...

Cryptography is one area of information security that is well known but often not well understood. The basics of the algorithms may stay the same, but as attacks and infections evolve, so too must the ...

Zero-correlation linear cryptanalysis is an important method to analyze the security of block ciphers. But there are few works on zero-correlation linear attacks combined with the related-key setting.
