Exploring Cipherspace: Combining stream ciphers and block ciphers
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper looks at the possibility of combining a block cipher and a stream cipher to get a strong hybrid cipher. It includes two specific proposals for combining AES-128 and RC4-128 to get a cipher that takes a 256-bit key and is significantly faster than AES-256, and arguably more secure. One is immune to algebraic attacks.

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.
متن کاملCryptanalysis of the Two-Dimensional Circulation Encryption Algorithm
In symmetric-key cryptography, two parties share a secret key K to encrypt messages using a cipher. Symmetric encryption techniques are used to efficiently encrypt data. Two common types of ciphers are commonly used nowadays: block ciphers and stream ciphers. Block ciphers encrypt blocks of data (typically 64 or 128 bits) in a fixed key-dependent way. The design of block ciphers is a well-studi...
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.
