For $n,d,w \in \mathbb{N}$, let $A(n,d,w)$ denote the maximum size of a binary code of word length $n$, minimum distance $d$ and constant weight $w$. Schrijver recently showed using semidefinite programming that $A(23,8,11)=1288$, and the…
This work proposes a different procedure to encrypt images of 256 grey levels and colour, using the symmetric system Advanced Encryption Standard with a variable permutation in the first round, after the x-or operation. Variable permutation…
Modern cryptography, such as Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA) and Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA), has been designed by humans based on our understanding of cryptographic methods. Neural Network (NN) based cryptography is being investigated due to…
This paper reconsiders the security offered by 2-key triple DES, an encryption technique that remains widely used despite recently being de-standardised by NIST. A generalisation of the 1990 van Oorschot-Wiener attack is described,…
The emergence of small computing devices and the integration of processing units into everyday objects has made lightweight cryptography an essential part of the security landscape. Conventional cryptographic algorithms such as AES, RSA,…
In this work we consider a generalization of the well-studied problem of coding for ``stuck-at'' errors, which we refer to as ``strong stuck-at'' codes. In the traditional framework of stuck-at codes, the task involves encoding a message…
Codes have been used for centuries to convey secret information.To a cryptanalyst, the interception of a code is only the first step in recovering a secret message.Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a biological and molecular code.Through the…
Confidentiality was and will always remain a critical need in the exchanges either between persons or the official parties. Recently, cryptology has made a jump, from classical form to the quantum one, we talk about quantum cryptography.…
The main stretch in the paper is buffer overflow anomaly occurring in major source codes, designed in various programming language. It describes the various as to how to improve your code and increase its strength to withstand security…
This paper gives the definitions of an anomalous super-increasing sequence and an anomalous subset sum separately, proves the two properties of an anomalous super-increasing sequence, and proposes the REESSE2+ public-key encryption scheme…
In Europe and North America, the most widely used stream cipher to ensure privacy and confidentiality of conversations in GSM mobile phones is the A5/1. In this paper, we present a new attack on the A5/1 stream cipher with an average time…
One of the key requirement of many schemes is that of random numbers. Sequence of random numbers are used at several stages of a standard cryptographic protocol. A simple example is of a Vernam cipher, where a string of random numbers is…
In this paper, two image encryption schemes are proposed for grayscale and color images. The two encryption schemes are based on dividing each image into blocks of different sizes. In the first scheme, the two dimension ($2$D) input image…
In counterfactual quantum key distribution (QKD), two remote parties can securely share random polarization-encoded bits through the blocking rather than the transmission of particles. We propose a semi-counterfactual QKD, i.e., one where…
The dominant data interchange formats encode integers using a variable number of bytes or represent floating-point numbers as variable-length UTF-8 strings. The decoder must inspect each byte for a continuation bit or parse each character…
The author proposes, a priori, a simple set of principles that can be developed into a range of algorithms by which means the Torah might be decoded. It is assumed that the Torah is some form of transposition cipher with the unusual…
We explain how to design RISC-V shellcodes capable of running arbitrary code, whose ASCII binary representation use only letters a-zA-Z, digits 0-9, and either of the three characters: #, /, '.
Current methods which compress multisets at an optimal rate have computational complexity that scales linearly with alphabet size, making them too slow to be practical in many real-world settings. We show how to convert a compression…
The model of the quantum protocols sealing a classical bit is studied. It is shown that there exist upper bounds on its security. For any protocol where the bit can be read correctly with the probability $\alpha $, and reading the bit can…
Research in secure multi-party computation using a deck of playing cards, often called card-based cryptography, dates back to 1989 when Den Boer introduced the "five-card trick" to compute the logical AND function. Since then, many…
