Unbalanced Feistel networks and block cipher design [PDF]

, 1996
We examine a generalization of the concept of Feistel networks, which we call Unbalanced Feistel Networks (UFNs). Like conventional Feistel networks, UFNs consist of a series of rounds in which one part of the block operates on the rest of the block. However, in a UFN the two parts need not be of equal size. Removing this limitation on Feistel networks

Selenium speciation dynamics in the Baltic and North Seas: Competing influences of marine and terrestrial inputs, biological activity, and redox conditions

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Despite the importance of coastal areas for the transfer of selenium (Se) from rivers to the open ocean and its bioavailability to food webs, dissolved Se concentrations and speciation in these ecosystems remain poorly understood. We conducted a 3‐yr study with monthly water column sampling at five stations spanning from the North Sea to the ...

Similarity Property and Slide Attack of Block Cipher FESH

IET Information Security, 2023
This paper focuses on similarity properties and extension of the classical slide property of block ciphers. Taking FESH, an award-winning block cipher of the National Cryptographic Algorithm Design Competition 2019, as an example, similarity properties ...

Integral Cryptanalysis of WARP based on Monomial Prediction

IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology, 2022
WARP is a 128-bit block cipher published by Banik et al. at SAC 2020 as a lightweight alternative to AES. It is based on a generalized Feistel network and achieves the smallest area footprint among 128-bit block ciphers in many settings.

The Influence of Topography and Crustal Magnetic Anomalies on the Distribution of Water Ice in the Lunar South Pole Region

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Lunar magnetic anomalies are abundant near the south pole, where several moderate‐strength anomalies spatially overlap permanently shadowed regions (PSRs). This environment provides a unique setting to assess how crustal magnetic fields and topography regulate plasma–surface interactions and, in turn, the stability and distribution of surface ...

Improved Search of Boomerang Distinguishers for Generalized Feistel and Application to WARP

IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology
Boomerang and rectangle cryptanalysis are powerful cryptanalytic techniques for security evaluation of block ciphers. Automated search for boomerang distinguishers is an important area of research. In FSE 2023, Hadipour et al.

Meet-in-the-Middle Attacks on Classes of Contracting and Expanding Feistel Constructions

IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology, 2017
We show generic attacks on unbalanced Feistel ciphers based on the meet-in-the-middle technique. We analyze two general classes of unbalanced Feistel structures, namely contracting Feistels and expanding Feistels.

Impact of Moist Thermodynamic Formulations on Climatological Temperature Fields in a Global Cloud‐Resolving Model

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract This study investigates how climatological temperature fields in simulations are influenced by the choice of moist thermodynamic formulations. Two formulations were compared: one developed to ensure internal thermodynamic consistency, and a simpler approximation similar to those commonly used in meteorological and climate models.

Solving Degree Bounds for Iterated Polynomial Systems

IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology
For Arithmetization-Oriented ciphers and hash functions Gröbner basis attacks are generally considered as the most competitive attack vector. Unfortunately, the complexity of Gröbner basis algorithms is only understood for special cases, and it is ...
