Cryptanalysis of some first round CAESAR candidates

ΑΕS _ CMCCv₁, ΑVΑLΑNCHEv₁, CLΟCv₁, and SILCv₁ are four candidates of the first round of CAESAR. CLΟCv₁ is presented in FSE 2014 and SILCv₁ is designed upon it with the aim of optimizing the hardware implementation cost. In this paper, structural weaknesses of these candidates are studied. We present distinguishing attacks against ΑES  _ CMCCv₁ with the complexity of two queries and the success ...

BRUTUS: Identifying Cryptanalytic Weaknesses in CAESAR First Round Candidates

This report summarizes our results from security analysis covering all 57 CAESAR first round candidates and over 210 implementations. We have manually identified security issues with three candidates, two of which are more serious, and these ciphers been withdrawn from the competition. We have developed a testing framework, BRUTUS, to facilitate automatic detection of simple security lapses and...

Barriers to Call Practices in an Efl Context: a Case Study of Preparatory Year English Courses

The present study attempts to find out the practical barriers to technology integration in an Arab EFL scenario, particularly in the context of Preparatory Year English courses. The practical barriers to CALL practices are multifaceted and vary according to contexts. In this mixed method study, 50 ESL teachers were surveyed using a 5-point Likert-scale questionnaire. The questionnaire focused o...

Caesar: Computer Automated Resummations

Global properties of energy-momentum flow in final-states, such as event shapes and jet-resolution thresholds, offer a good compromise between simplicity and sensitivity to the dynamics of QCD. Thanks to the former, it has been possible to make a wide range of theoretical predictions for them, including both fixed-order and resummed perturbative calculations as well as non-perturbative model ca...
