Download or read book Construction and Analysis of Cryptographic Functions written by Lilya Budaghyan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-01-06 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers novel research on construction and analysis of optimal cryptographic functions such as almost perfect nonlinear (APN), almost bent (AB), planar and bent functions. These functions have optimal resistance to linear and/or differential attacks, which are the two most powerful attacks on symmetric cryptosystems. Besides cryptographic applications, these functions are significant in many branches of mathematics and information theory including coding theory, combinatorics, commutative algebra, finite geometry, sequence design and quantum information theory. The author analyzes equivalence relations for these functions and develops several new methods for construction of their infinite families. In addition, the book offers solutions to two longstanding open problems, including the problem on characterization of APN and AB functions via Boolean, and the problem on the relation between two classes of bent functions.

Download or read book Design and Analysis of Cryptographic Algorithms in Blockchain written by Ke Huang and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-08-15 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to generalize techniques and experiences in designing and analyzing cryptographic schemes for blockchain. It devotes three chapters to review the background and basic knowledge, four chapters to discuss specific types of cryptographic primitive design for blockchain, one chapter to discuss optimization tools and another chapter for blockchain regulation and economies. This book covers the systematic survey of research objects, as well as detailed reviews of cryptographic schemes, lectures and methodologies to practice cryptography. The main findings of this book are summarized as following, first, the practical design and analysis of cryptographic schemes for blockchain can address major problems in blockchain at algorithmic level. Then, some intrinsic deficiencies in some traditional cryptographic primitives, like centralized setup, impractical design, etc, prevent the successful application of these primitives in blockchain. However, huge efforts are being made to make these primitives practical and applicable for researchers. Finally, the formal and rigorous design and analysis of public key cryptographic algorithms is vital to blockchain. Design and Analysis of Cryptographic Algorithms in Blockchain is a useful textbook for graduate students and PhD students, or researches who wish to connect cryptography with blockchain for research and developing projects.

Download or read book Cryptography in Constant Parallel Time written by Benny Applebaum and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Locally computable (NC0) functions are "simple" functions for which every bit of the output can be computed by reading a small number of bits of their input. The study of locally computable cryptography attempts to construct cryptographic functions that achieve this strong notion of simplicity and simultaneously provide a high level of security. Such constructions are highly parallelizable and they can be realized by Boolean circuits of constant depth. This book establishes, for the first time, the possibility of local implementations for many basic cryptographic primitives such as one-way functions, pseudorandom generators, encryption schemes and digital signatures. It also extends these results to other stronger notions of locality, and addresses a wide variety of fundamental questions about local cryptography. The author's related thesis was honorably mentioned (runner-up) for the ACM Dissertation Award in 2007, and this book includes some expanded sections and proofs, and notes on recent developments. The book assumes only a minimal background in computational complexity and cryptography and is therefore suitable for graduate students or researchers in related areas who are interested in parallel cryptography. It also introduces general techniques and tools which are likely to interest experts in the area.

Download or read book New Approaches for the Design and Analysis of Cryptographic Hash Functions written by Thomas Ristenpart and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cryptographic hash functions deterministically generate a short digest ``summary'' of an input message. Their functionality and perceived security properties have contributed to their use in a wide variety of applications. Unfortunately, traditional design approaches for hash functions target only a single application. This gap between use and design has lead to hash functions not providing the security properties required by certain uses, and, in turn, to vulnerabilities in applications. This thesis argues for the construction of multi-property hash functions. Such a function should enjoy strong guarantees that it simultaneously provides multiple, disparate security properties, while remaining efficient and easy to use. That is, these hash functions are built to reflect the diverse needs of applications. Towards this end, we introduce the notion of a multi-property-preserving domain extension transform, which formalizes the goal of multi-property hashing for a key step in hash design. By analyzing existing transforms from the lense of multi-property-preservation, we explain the inability of traditional hash designs to be multi-property. We propose new domain extension transforms, provide new techniques for their formal analysis in modern cryptography's framework of provable security, and use the techniques to show that the proposed constructions provide the multi-property-preservation guarantees needed to build the next generation of hash functions.

Download or read book The Block Cipher Companion written by Lars R. Knudsen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-25 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Block ciphers encrypt blocks of plaintext, messages, into blocks of ciphertext under the action of a secret key, and the process of encryption is reversed by decryption which uses the same user-supplied key. Block ciphers are fundamental to modern cryptography, in fact they are the most widely used cryptographic primitive – useful in their own right, and in the construction of other cryptographic mechanisms. In this book the authors provide a technically detailed, yet readable, account of the state of the art of block cipher analysis, design, and deployment. The authors first describe the most prominent block ciphers and give insights into their design. They then consider the role of the cryptanalyst, the adversary, and provide an overview of some of the most important cryptanalytic methods. The book will be of value to graduate and senior undergraduate students of cryptography and to professionals engaged in cryptographic design. An important feature of the presentation is the authors' exhaustive bibliography of the field, each chapter closing with comprehensive supporting notes.
