  1. 1. Models, Keys, and Cryptanalysis: Evaluating historical statistical language models in cryptanalysis of homophonic substitution ciphers

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för filosofi, lingvistik och vetenskapsteori

    Author : Filip Fornmark; [2023-01-19]
    Keywords : statistical language models; cryptanalysis; historical cryptology; homophonic substitution;

    Abstract : This thesis presents an empirical study connected to historical cryptography and especially within the framework of the research project DECRYPT. One of the research questions in the DECRYPT project relates to the use of language models for automatic cryptanalysis. READ MORE

  3. 2. A practical comparison between algebraic and statistical attacks on the lightweight cipher SIMON

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för datalogi

    Author : Berghult Astrid; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the summer of 2013 NSA released a new family of lightweight block ciphers called SIMON. However they did not publish any assessment of the security of SIMON. Since then only a few papers on this topic have been released and none of them have included an algebraic analysis. READ MORE

  4. 3. On the Properties of S-boxes : A Study of Differentially 6-Uniform Monomials over Finite Fields of Characteristic 2

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Léo Paul Perrin; [2013]
    Keywords : Symmetric cryptography; Differential uniformity; Differential spectrum; Kloosterman sum; Power function; Roots of trinomial; x⟶x^ 2t-1 ; Dickson polynomial; Differential Cryptanalysis;

    Abstract : S-boxes are key components of many symmetric cryptographic primitives. Among them, some block ciphers and hash functions are vulnerable to attacks based on differential cryptanalysis, a technique introduced by Biham and Shamir in the early 90’s. READ MORE
