Cryptanalysis of QTL Block Cipher

, 2017
QTL is an ultra-lightweight block cipher designed for extremely constrained devices. The cipher has two versions, QLT-64 and QTL-128 supporting key lengths of 64 and 128 bits, respectively. In this paper, we present the first third party cryptanalysis of QTL. We first introduce related key distinguishers for full versions of the cipher.

Translophagy—A potential link between autophagy impairment and translational errors

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by the accumulation of abnormal proteins and protein aggregates, but their origin often remains unknown. We propose that selective autophagy removes damaged protein‐making machinery, preventing errors during protein synthesis.

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

The Security of Cipher Block Chaining [PDF]

, 2007
The Cipher Block Chaining - Message Authentication Code (CBC MAC) specifies that a, message x = x1 ... xm be authenticated among parties who share a secret key a by tagging x with a prefix of fa(m)(x) def = fa(fa(... fa(fa(x1)?x2)?...?xm-1)?xm), where f is some underlying block cipher (eg. f = DES). This method is a pervasively used international and U.

Some Observations on TWIS Block Cipher [PDF]

, 2010
The 128-bit block cipher TWIS was proposed by Ojha et al in 2009. It is a lightweight block cipher and its design is inspired from CLEFIA. In this paper, we first study the properties of TWIS structure, and as an extension we also considered the ...

Chiral separation of chloroalkanes with the chromatographic column onboard Martian rovers

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Computer image of the Rosalind Franklin Rover of ESA's ExoMars mission. ExoMars is scheduled to land on planet Mars in Oxia Planum in 2029. This area represents an interesting spot to look for biosignatures. Investigations of ExoMars include measurement on molecular chirality. We show that chiral chloroalkanes, that have been identified on Mars, can be

L‐aspartate oxidase provides new insights into fumarate reduction in anaerobic darkness in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Synechocystis strains deficient in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) secrete more succinate than the WT under dark anaerobic conditions, supporting that SDH then primarily acts as SDH, not as a fumarate reductase. L‐aspartate oxidase (Laspo) from Synechocystis is functional under anaerobic conditions, reducing fumarate to succinate.

Elastic block ciphers

Proceedings of the 2nd ACM symposium on Information, computer and communications security, 2007
We introduce the concept of an elastic block cipher, which refers to stretching the supported block size of a block cipher to any length up to twice the original block size while incurring a computational workload that is proportional to the block size. We define a method for converting any existing block cipher into an elastic block cipher and mention

Random Permutation Statistics and An Improved Slide-Determine Attack on KeeLoq [PDF]

, 2011
KeeLoq is a lightweight block cipher which is extensively used in the automotive industry. Its periodic structure, and overall simplicity makes it vulnerable to many different attacks.
