New Methods for Symmetric Cryptography KU Leuven
Despite the worldwide adoption of cryptographic standards, the rise of Internet of Things creates a need for new cryptographic primitives tailored for resource-constrained environments. We focus on the design and implementation of lightweight linear layers for symmetric ciphers. We propose new constructions of lightweight MDS (Maximum Distance Separable) and near-MDS matrices. We present new cryptanalytic methods for two classes of emerging ...
