Dynamic MDS Matrices for Substantial Cryptographic Strength
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ciphers get their strength from the mathematical functions of confusion and diffusion, also known as substitution and permutation. These were the basics of classical cryptography and they are still the basic part of modern ciphers. In block ciphers diffusion is achieved by the use of Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) matrices. In this paper we present some methods for constructing dynamic (and random) non-linear MDS matrices.

Lightweight 4x4 MDS Matrices for Hardware-Oriented Cryptographic Primitives
Linear diffusion layer is an important part of lightweight block ciphers and hash functions. This paper presents an efficient class of lightweight 4x4 MDS matrices such that the implementation cost of them and their corresponding inverses are equal. The main target of the paper is hardware oriented cryptographic primitives and the implementation cost is measured in terms of the required number ...
متن کاملEfficient MDS Diffusion Layers Through Decomposition of Matrices
Diffusion layers are critical components of symmetric ciphers. MDS matrices are diffusion layers of maximal branch number which have been used in various symmetric ciphers. In this article, we examine decomposition of cyclic matrices from mathematical viewpoint and based on that, we present new cyclic MDS matrices. From the aspect of implementation, the proposed matrices have lower implementati...

The Cryptographics Algorithms AES and Twofish guarantee a high diffusion with the use of fixed MDS matrices of size 4 × 4. In this article variations to the Cryptographics Algorithms AES and Twofish are made. They allow that the process of cipher decipher come true with MDS matrices selected randomly from an algorithm that obtaining an MDS matrix of set of all the MDS matrices possible. A new S...

متن کاملOptimizing Implementations of Lightweight Building Blocks
We study the synthesis of small functions used as building blocks in lightweight cryptographic designs in terms of hardware implementations. This phase most notably appears during the ASIC implementation of cryptographic primitives. The quality of this step directly affects the output circuit, and while general tools exist to carry out this task, most of them belong to proprietary software suit...
