Abstract: Boolean functions play a major role in the construction of symmetric key primitives such as block ciphers, stream ciphers and hash functions. The security of these primitives depends on the ...

Boolean functions form the backbone of modern cryptographic systems, serving as essential components in the design of stream ciphers, block ciphers, and other security protocols. Their inherent ...

Abstract: In this article, heuristic methods of hill climbing for cryptographic Boolean functions satisfying the required properties of balance, nonlinearity, autocorrelation, and other stability ...

Coding theory and cryptography are interwoven fields that lie at the heart of secure communication and reliable data storage. The discipline of coding theory focuses on the design and analysis of ...

This code was written as part of a research project in Loughborough University, exploring the second-order differential uniformity of cryptographic Boolean functions. The computation guided ...

Security researchers at Google and the CWI Institute in Amsterdam have found a way to crack the Secure Hash Algorithm-1 (SHA-1) cryptographic function. The two organizations Thursday announced what ...
