Progress in cryptology

Meer over het boek

This book covers a range of topics in cryptography, highlighting both theoretical advancements and practical applications. It begins with discussions on the security of RSA and multivariate schemes, including improvements to partial key exposure attacks and the unbalanced oil and vinegar signature scheme. The analysis extends to a multivariate signature scheme featuring a partially cyclic public key. The text delves into the security of key agreement protocols, exploring indifferentiability beyond the birthday bound and characterizing Luby-Rackoff's work. It also addresses versatile voting systems and the theory and practice of cryptographic hash functions, including cryptanalysis of specific hash functions like Tav-128 and SHA-3 compression functions. The book discusses attacks on block and stream ciphers, presenting new boomerang attacks on ARIA and analyzing the KATAN family of block ciphers. It introduces concepts like greedy distinguishers and nonrandomness detectors, alongside efficient cryptographic computation methods. Further, it covers polynomial multiplication over binary fields, random Euclidean addition chain generation for point multiplication, and various cryptanalysis techniques for AES, including higher-order masking attacks and improved differential cryptanalysis. The text concludes with efficient implementation strategies, including a program generator for Intel AES-NI instructions and novel hardware des
