This thesis focuses on cryptanalysis techniques and design of block ciphers. In particular, modern analysis methods such as square, boomerang, impossible differential and linear attacks are described and applied to real block ciphers. The first part of this thesis concentrates on the two most relevant modern cryptanalysis techniques: linear and differential cryptanalysis. These and related tech...

in this paper, shortest path design problem (spdp) in which the path is incident to all cells is considered. the bi-directional path is one of the known types of configuration of networks for automated guided vehi-cles (agv).to solve this problem, two algorithms are developed. for each algorithm an integer linear pro-gramming (ilp) is determined. the objective functions of both algorithms are t...

This report gives a basic introduction to block cipher design and analysis. The concepts and design principles of block ciphers are explained, particularly the class of block ciphers known as Feistel ciphers. Some modern block cipher cryptanalysis methods are demonstrated by applying them to variants of a weak Feistel cipher called Simplified TEA (STEA), which is based on the Tiny Encryption Al...

Alspach, B. and D. Hare, Edge-pancyclic block-intersection graphs, Discrete Mathematics 97 (1991) 17-24. It is shown that the block-intersection graph of both a balanced incomplete block design with block size at least 3 and A = 1, and a transversal design is edge-pancyclic.

We have compared the high resolution BGO detector blocks from the EXACT HR PET system which use two dual-cathode rectangular photomultiplier (PM) tubes with a new block design, the EXACT HR PLUS, which uses four round PM tubes. Despite the lower coupling area between photocathode and scintillator, the HR PLUS block compares favorably with the HR block. The energy resolution averages 20% for the...

terminal heat stress in mediterranean climates like ahwaz is reduced wheat yield. in order to study effect of terminal heat stress on yield and yield components of 20 spring bread wheat cultivars, an experiment was conducted in ramin university of agricultural and natural resources, ahwaz in 2007-2008. the experimental design was stripe block design in randomized complete block design with thre...
