A New (Related‐Key) Neural Distinguisher Using Two Differences for Differential Cryptanalysis
At CRYPTO 2019, Gohr showed the significant advantages of neural distinguishers over traditional distinguishers in differential cryptanalysis. At fast software encryption (FSE) 2024, Bellini et al. provided a generic tool to automatically train the (related‐key) differential neural distinguishers for different block ciphers. In this paper, based on the

Optimized SM4 Hardware Implementations for Low Area Consumption
The SM4 block cipher is standardized in ISO/IEC, and it is also the national standard of commercial cryptography in China. In this paper, we propose two new techniques called “split‐and‐join” and “off‐peak and stagger” to make SM4 more applicable to resource‐constrained environments.

Superposition Attacks on Pseudorandom Schemes Based on Two or Less Permutations
We study quantum superposition attacks against permutation‐based pseudorandom cryptographic schemes. We first extend Kuwakado and Morii’s attack against the Even–Mansour cipher and exhibit key recovery attacks against a large class of pseudorandom schemes based on a single call to an n‐bit permutation, with polynomial O(n) (or O(n2), if the concrete ...

An Efficient Ontology‐Based Semantic Interoperability Using MSGO‐RNN in Cloud Computing
Semantic interoperability (SI) is defined as the capability of interpreting the nature of the information exchanged inside cloud computing (CC). For SI, ontology is selected as a solution. A hierarchical structure is offered by an ontology that comprises semantic relations between the application and the cloud server (CS). Even though different methods

Constructing Zero-Sum Distinguishers of Two Generalized Feistel Structures
由于Feistel结构具有良好的密码学性质, 它的变体许多广义Feistel结构也成为密码算法设计者乐于选择的对象, 其中由郑玉良等人设计的type-2和type-3广义Feistel结构被许多分组密码算法和密码杂凑函数所采用. 所以, 对这两种广义Feistel结构进行安全性分析非常必要. 伪随机性是一个结构的重要安全性指标, 而自2007年Knudsen和Rijmen提出了已知密钥区分器开始, 利用构造已知密钥区分器来分析算法与结构的伪随机性逐步成为人们常用的手段.

Generalized Feistel Ciphers for Efficient Prime Field Masking - Full Version [PDF]
A recent work from Eurocrypt 2023 suggests that prime-field masking has excellent potential to improve the efficiency vs. security tradeoff of masked implementations against side-channel attacks, especially in contexts where physical leakages show low ...

Parallelizing the Camellia and SMS4 Block Ciphers - Extended version [PDF]
The n-cell GF-NLFSR (Generalized Feistel-NonLinear Feedback Shift Register) structure [8] is a generalized unbalanced Feistel network that can be considered as a generalization of the outer function FO of the KASUMI block cipher.

Shining Light on the Shadow: Full-round Practical Distinguisher for Lightweight Block Cipher Shadow [PDF]
Shadow is a lightweight block cipher proposed at IEEE IoT journal 2021. Shadow’s main design principle is adopting a variant 4- branch Feistel structure in order to provide a fast diffusion rate.

Cryptanalysis of reduced QTL block cipher
Recently, a new ultra lightweight block cipher called QTL has been proposed. The authors claim to achieve a fast diffusion in QTL by using a new variant of a generalized Feistel network structure that changes all block messages in one iterative round in ...

On generalizations of the Lai-Massey scheme [PDF]
In this paper, we re-investigate the Lai-Massey scheme, originally proposed in the cipher IDEA. Due to the similarity with the Feistel networks, and due to the existence of invariant subspace attacks as originally pointed out by Vaudenay at FSE 1999, the
