Nothing better than a Python to write a Serpent
نویسنده
چکیده
Serpent is a 128-bit block cipher designed by Ross Anderson, Eli Biham and Lars Knudsen as a candidate for the Advanced Encryption Standard, a competition sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to define a successor to DES. Serpent is designed to be faster than DES and more secure than triple-DES. It is in the public domain and there are no restrictions on its use: the full AES submission package, including the full specification of the cipher, a reference implementation in C, several test suites, and optimised versions in C and Java, is available from

Investigating the Efficiency of Two Writing Strategies Among Iranian EFL Learners: Translated Writing vs. Reading to Write
This study explored the effects of 2 different types of strategies—translatedwriting vs. reading to write—in the writings of some of Iranian EFL learners inEsfahan Payamenoor University. The results showed no significant differences inthe students’ writings (in the 2 experimental groups and 1 control group) for thepretest topic. With respect to the posttest, the results, however, indicated that...

1. What exactly is an evidenced-based practice? It usually means an approach that has established itself better than placebo or treatment as usual in two clinical trials. Such demonstrations are nothing to write home about; intervention of nearly any kind has demonstrated its superiority over placebo for 50 years! This research tells us nothing that we already do not know: Treatment works. So, ...
متن کاملNonlinear cryptanalysis of reduced-round Serpent and metaheuristic search for S-box approximations
We utilise a simulated annealing algorithm to find several nonlinear approximations to various Sboxes which can be used to replace the linear approximations in the outer rounds of existing attacks. We propose three variants of a new nonlinear cryptanalytic algorithm which overcomes the main issues that prevented the use of nonlinear approximations in previous research, and we present the statis...
متن کاملThe Rectangle Attack - Rectangling the Serpent
Serpent is one of the 5 AES finalists. The best attack published so far analyzes up to 9 rounds. In this paper we present attacks on 7-round, 8-round, and 10-round variants of Serpent. We attack a 7round variant with all key lengths, and 8and 10-round variants with 256-bit keys. The 10-round attack on the 256-bit keys variants is the best published attack on the cipher. The attack enhances the ...
متن کاملTowards Practical Incremental Recomputation for Scientists: An Implementation for the Python Language
Computational scientists often prototype data analysis scripts using high-level languages like Python. To speed up execution times, they manually refactor their scripts into stages (separate functions) and write extra code to save intermediate results to disk in order to avoid recomputing them in subsequent runs. To eliminate this burden, we enhanced the Python interpreter to automatically memo...
