Wireless body area networks (WBANs) are vulnerable to active eavesdropping that
simultaneously perform sniffing and jamming to raise the sensor transmit power, and thus …

With the rapid advancements in information technologies such as 5G and cloud computing,
Internet of Things (IoT) applications are expanding across various domains, such as smart …

The meet-in-the-middle (MITM) technique has led to many key-recovery attacks on block
ciphers and preimage attacks on hash functions. Nowadays, cryptographers use automatic …

The ever-increasing growth of high-throughput sequencing technologies has led to a great
acceleration of medical and biological research and discovery. As these platforms advance …

PRESENT and MIBS are two lightweight block ciphers that are suitable for low resource
devices such as radio‐frequency identification tags. In this paper, we present the first …

The chapters in this open access book arise out of the EU Cost Action project Cryptacus, the
objective of which was to improve and adapt existent cryptanalysis methodologies and tools …

The main objective of this chapter is to offer to practitioners, researchers and all interested
parties a brief categorized catalog of existing lightweight symmetric primitives with their main …

This paper analyzes the Piccolo family of lightweight block ciphers against the impossible
differential cryptanalysis. A combination of some ploys such as decreasing the S-box …

Meet in the middle (MITM) attack is one of the most important and applicable methods for
cryptanalysis of block ciphers. In this paper, a more generalized method for MITM attack is …

The authors use the mixed‐integer linear programming (MILP) technique for the automatic
search for differential characteristics of LEA and HIGHT ciphers. They show that the MILP …
