The s-box plays the vital role of creating confusion between the ciphertext and secret key in any cryptosystem, and is the only nonlinear component in many block ciphers. Dynamic s-boxes, as compared to static, improve entropy of the…
The Feistel Boomerang Connectivity Table ($\rm{FBCT}$), which is the Feistel version of the Boomerang Connectivity Table ($\rm{BCT}$), plays a vital role in analyzing block ciphers' ability to withstand strong attacks, such as boomerang…
Background and Objectives: Substitution-box (s-box) is one of the essential components to create confusion and nonlinear properties in cryptography. To strengthening a cipher against various attacks, including side channel attacks, these…
This paper makes the first bridge between the classical differential/boomerang uniformity and the newly introduced $c$-differential uniformity. We show that the boomerang uniformity of an odd APN function is given by the maximum of the…
We defined in~\cite{EFRST20} a new multiplicative $c$-differential, and the corresponding $c$-differential uniformity and we characterized the known perfect nonlinear functions with respect to this new concept, as well as the inverse in any…
The differential-linear connectivity table (DLCT), introduced by Bar-On et al. at EUROCRYPT'19, is a novel tool that captures the dependency between the two subciphers involved in differential-linear attacks. This paper is devoted to…
The notion of branch numbers of a linear transformation is crucial for both linear and differential cryptanalysis. The number of non-zero elements in a state difference or linear mask directly correlates with the active S-Boxes. The…
The $c$-differential uniformity is recently proposed to reflect resistance against some variants of differential attack. Finding functions with low $c$-differential uniformity is attracting attention from many researchers. For even…
Let $\gf_{p^n}$ denote the finite field containing $p^n$ elements, where $n$ is a positive integer and $p$ is a prime. The function $f_u(x)=x^{\frac{p^n+3}{2}}+ux^2$ over $\gf_{p^n}[x]$ with $u\in\gf_{p^n}\setminus\{0,\pm1\}$ was recently…
In this paper we define a new (output) multiplicative differential, and the corresponding $c$-differential uniformity. With this new concept, even for characteristic $2$, there are perfect $c$-nonlinear (PcN) functions. We first…
Linear (or differential) cryptanalysis may seem dull topics for a mathematician: they are about super simple invariants characterized by say a word on n=64 bits with very few bits at 1, the space of possible attacks is small, and basic…
This paper introduces a compact and secure 16-bit substitution box (S-box) designed over the composite field $\F_{(((2^2)^2)^2)^2}$, optimized for both hardware efficiency and cryptographic robustness. The proposed S-box decomposes…
With the tremendous benefits of internet and advanced communications, there is a serious threat from the data security perspective. There is a need of secure and robust encryption algorithm that can be implemented on each and diverse…
In the literature, there are many results about permutation polynomials over finite fields. However, very few permutations of vector spaces are constructed although it has been shown that permutations of vector spaces have many applications…
APN permutations in even dimension are vectorial Boolean functions that play a special role in the design of block ciphers. We study their properties, providing some general results and some applications to the low-dimension cases. In…
In a prior paper [14], along with P. Ellingsen, P. Felke and A. Tkachenko, we defined a new (output) multiplicative differential, and the corresponding c-differential uniformity, which has the potential of extending differential…
SEPAR is a lightweight cryptographic algorithm, designed to implement on resource-constrained devices especially those employed in IoT environments. Meanwhile, the mixed structure design of cipher leads to speed improvement while…
It is well-known that functions over finite fields play a crucial role in designing substitution boxes (S-boxes) in modern block ciphers. In order to analyze the security of an S-box, recently, three new tables have been introduced: the…
Substitution boxes with thorough cryptographic strengths are essential for the development of strong encryption systems. They are the only portions capable of inducing nonlinearity in symmetric encryption systems. Bijective substitution…
In this paper, we present infinite families of permutations of $\mathbb{F}_{2^{2n}}$ with high nonlinearity and boomerang uniformity $4$ from generalized butterfly structures. Both open and closed butterfly structures are considered. It…
