Cryptanalysis of RC4-like Ciphers
Serge Mister,Stafford E. Tavares +1 more
TL;DR: This analysis shows that, although the full-size RC4 remains secure against known attacks, keystreams are distinguishable from randomly generated bit streams, and the RC4 key can be recovered if a significant fraction of the full cycle of keystream bits is generated.
Patent
Method and apparatus for providing authentication between a sending unit and a recipient based on challenge usage data
TL;DR: In this article, a method, apparatus and/or system generates a challenge for user authentication, having a challenge data element from a stored pool of challenge data elements, which is sent for use in an authentication of a user to a sender.
Patent
Practical S box design
Carlisle Adams,Serge Mister +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method of generating a substitution box (S-box) involves generating an S-box with desired characteristics, forming a new Sbox with another column such that the new S box has the desired characteristics as well, and continuing to add columns in these ways until the Sbox has the proper size.
Book ChapterDOI
On The Security of Key Derivation Functions
TL;DR: This paper examines the common key derivation function constructions and shows that most of these have some concerning properties, and a new construction is provided which seems to have better properties and an intuitive justification for its security.
Book ChapterDOI
An attack on CFB mode encryption as used by OpenPGP
Serge Mister,Robert Zuccherato +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an adaptive chosen-ciphertext attack on the Cipher Feedback (CFB) mode of encryption as used in OpenPGP was described, which was meant as a quick check to determine the correctness of the decrypting symmetric key.
