This paper investigates the lightweight block ciphers׳ implementations, which have received
a fair amount of research for their essential security role in low-resource devices. Our …

Modern cryptographic algorithms play an irreplaceable role in data communication systems
for various areas of applications. These algorithms are the backbone of data protection and …

Denial of Service (DoS) attacks constitute one of the major threats and among the hardest
security problems in today's Internet. Of particular concern are Distributed Denial of Service …

This paper describes a new differential-style attack, which we call the boomerang attack.
This attack has several interesting applications. First, we disprove the oft-repeated claim that …

We discuss distributed denial of service attacks in the Internet. We were motivated by the
widely known February 2000 distributed attacks on Yahoo!, Amazon. com, CNN. com, and …

Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is a coordinated attack, generally performed on a
massive scale on the availability of services of a target system or network resources. Owing …

In a recent paper we developed a new cryptanalytic technique based on impossible
differentials, and used it to attack the Skipjack encryption algorithm reduced from 32 to 31 …

While Generalized Feistel Networks (GFNs) have been widely studied in the literature as a
building block of a block cipher, we recall in this paper the results of [1] where a unified …
