A classical method of constructing a linear code over $\gf(q)$ with a $t$-design is to use the incidence matrix of the $t$-design as a generator matrix over $\gf(q)$ of the code. This approach has been extensively investigated in the…

We introduce NSABC/w -- Nice-Structured Algebraic Block Cipher using w-bit word arithmetic, a 4w-bit analogous of Skipjack [NSA98] with 5w-bit key. The Skipjack's internal 4-round Feistel structure is replaced with a w-bit, 2-round cascade…
