The Ideal-Cipher Model of a blockcipher is a well-known and widely-used model dating back to Shannon [24] and has seen frequent use in proving the security of various cryptographi...
The purpose of algebraic attacks on stream and block ciphers is to recover the secret key by solving an overdefined system of multivariate algebraic equations. They become very eff...
We describe a collision-finding attack on 16 rounds of the Tiger hash function requiring the time for about 244 compression function invocations. Another attack generates pseudo-ne...
This is the first article analyzing the security of SHA-256 against fast collision search which considers the recent attacks by Wang et al. We show the limits of applying technique...

The stream cipher Py designed by Biham and Seberry is a submission to the ECRYPT stream cipher competition. The cipher is based on two large arrays (one is 256 bytes and the other ...
