Zero-correlation linear cryptanalysis is an important method to analyze the security of block ciphers. But there are few works on zero-correlation linear attacks combined with the related-key setting.

The National Security Agency (NSA) is offering two families of encryption algorithms, known as block ciphers, intended to provide a level of security for such processes as authentication or ...

Generalized Feistel Network block cipher security relies on a flawed assumption: a new IACR preprint shows that adding more branches to a Type-II GFN provides no extra protection against full ...

- Japan's only 128-bit block cipher encryption algorithm to be adopted - TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NYS: NTT) and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO:6503) ...

The arena of creating secure environments in the hardware and software industries is somewhat shrouded in mystery and misunderstanding. Certainly, some types of ciphers are relatively straightforward ...

A proprietary algorithm developed by RSA Data Security, Inc., RC2 is an alternative to DES. The algorithm expands a single message by up to 8 bytes. RC2 is a block cipher that encrypts data in blocks ...

A formula used to turn ordinary data, or "plaintext," into a secret coded message known as "ciphertext." The ciphertext can reside in storage or travel over unsecure networks without its contents ...
