Lightweight cryptography has been one of the" hot topics" in symmetric cryptography in the
recent years. A huge number of lightweight algorithms have been published, standardized …

Resistance against differential cryptanalysis is an important design criteria for any modern
block cipher and most designs rely on finding some upper bound on probability of single …

The exploration of interconnected devices, embedded devices, sensors, and various
network-connected devices helps to communicate each other and exchange …

The widespread and growing interest in the Internet of Things (IoT) may be attributed to its
usefulness in many different fields. Physical settings are probed for data, which is then …

LB lock presented at ACNS 2011 is a lightweight block cipher. The length of the block and
master key for LB lock is 64 and 80 bits, respectively. LB lock adopts the Feistel-SP network …

For block ciphers, Bogdanov et al. found that there are some linear approximations
satisfying that their biases are deterministically invariant under key difference. This property …

Demirci–Selçuk meet-in-the-middle (DS-MITM) attack is an effective method for
cryptanalysis. As far as we know, the published automatic results of DS-MITM attack are all …

Rijndael was the finalist of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) competition and Rijndael-
128 with the 128-bit block size was selected as the standard. In this paper, we concentrate …

Symmetric-key primitives are used to ensure the confidentiality of two or more parties to
maintain a private communication channel. While legacy cryptographic primitives just …
