We propose the idea of building a secure hash using quadratic or higher degree multivariate polynomials over a finite field as the compression function. We analyze some security ...
Abstract—In the past few years, P2P file distribution applications (e.g., BitTorrent) are becoming so popular that they are the dominating source of Internet traffic. This crea...
In this paper we discuss PRNGs: the mechanisms used by real-world secure systems to generate cryptographic keys, initialization vectors, "random" nonces, and other values...
