Symmetric Ciphers for Fully Homomorphic Encryption [PDF]
Fully homomorphic encryption is the latest addition to the world of cryptography. It is a type of encryption that allows operations to be done on ciphertexts, which is not possible with traditional encryption. The field has gained a lot of traction since

Improvements to the Linear Operations of LowMC: A Faster Picnic [PDF]
Picnic is a practical approach to digital signatures where the security is primarily based on the existence of a one-way function, and the signature size strongly depends on the number of multiplications in the circuit describing that one-way function ...
