A Generalised Testbed for Analysing Block and Stream Ciphers
نویسندگان
چکیده
With the recent development of a number of new ciphers, especially block ciphers, there is a need for a set of tools to help analyse them, in order to obtain some comparative measure of their relative security, and to assist in identifying any shortcomings in their design. This project uses a number of tests to provide a better determination of a cipher's capabilities than previous attempts, and incorporates them into a framework to aid extension of the testbed, through both the addition of new ciphers, and new tests. The testbed will be used for a comparative analysis of some of the new families of block ciphers, including LOKI, FEAL, Khufu, Khafre, and KSX against the older generation which includes Lucifer and DES. Some preliminary results from this analysis on DES, FEAL, and LOKI are presented here.

Stream ciphers and the eSTREAM project
Stream ciphers are an important class of symmetric cryptographic algorithms. The eSTREAM project contributed significantly to the recent increase of activity in this field. In this paper, we present a survey of the eSTREAM project. We also review recent time/memory/data and time/memory/key trade-offs relevant for the generic attacks on stream ciphers.
متن کاملA General Encryption Scheme Based on MDS Code ( Extended Summary )
Many applications, such as wireless communications, high speed multimedia data streaming systems and sensor networks, call for strong ciphers with low computation complexity and high speed in encryption and decryption. Additive stream ciphers usually have lower computation complexity and thus provide higher encryption/decryption speed than block ciphers. An additive stream cipher usually encryp...
متن کاملA Filter Bank View of Block and Stream Ciphers
Vaidyanathan suggested the use of filter banks with coefficients in finite fields as stream ciphers. We show how to break those ciphers. A more general class of ciphers is introduced, which includes many well-known block ciphers, like DES, IDEA, etc. These ciphers are derived from filter banks over group rings.

The encryption algorithms are designed to provide integrity and confidentiality of the messages. Modern cryptosystems are classified into three categories such as Block ciphers, Stream cipher and Hybrid ciphers of Hummingbird. This paper details about various types of block ciphers and stream ciphers. In this paper we also present the hybrid model of hummingbird and its comparison among other c...
متن کاملStream Ciphers: Dead or Alive?
Secret key cryptography was traditionally divided into block ciphers and stream ciphers, but over the last 30 years the balance had steadily shifted, and today stream ciphers have become an endangered species. In this talk I'll survey the current state of the art in stream ciphers: who needs them, who uses them, how they are attacked, and how they can be protected by new types of constructions.
