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 American National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) is rather busy on the cryptographic front these days. Not only has it been busy in the area of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), it ...

Sony announced late last week that they have invented a new encryption mechanism known as "CLEFIA," a block cipher algorithm designed to help content producers deliver "advanced copy protection" with ...

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 ...

Such high-speed features of VSC come from full-scalable encryption algorithm as described as follows. VECTOR STREAM CIPHER AS FULL-SCALABLE CHAOTIC ENCRYPTION Our VSC is a kind of stream cipher. Thus, ...
