A MIX net takes a list of ciphertexts (c1, · · · , cN ) and outputs a permuted list of the plaintexts (m1, · · · , mN ) without revealing the relationship between (c1, · · ...
Block ciphers are usually based on one top-level scheme into which we plug “round functions”. To analyze security, it is important to study the intrinsic security provided by t...
Assuming a cryptographically strong cyclic group G of prime order q and a random hash function H, we show that ElGamal encryption with an added Schnorr signature is secure against ...
We establish, for the first time, an explicit and simple lower bound on the nonlinearity Nf of a Boolean function f of n variables satisfying the avalanche criterion of degree p, ...
The Montgomery multiplication is commonly used as the core algorithm for cryptosystems based on modular arithmetic. With the advent of new classes of attacks (timing attacks, power...
