FAST: Disk Encryption and Beyond

This work introduces FAST which is a new family of cryptographic primitives. Several instantiations of FAST are described. These are targeted towards two goals, the specific task of disk encryption and a more general scheme suitable for a wide variety of practical applications. Some of these applications are novel real-life use cases which are not covered by previously known cryptographic const...

Mercy: A Fast Large Block Cipher for Disk Sector Encryption

We discuss the special requirements imposed on the underlying cipher of systems which encrypt each sector of a disk partition independently, and demonstrate a certificational weakness in some existing block ciphers including Bellare and Rogaway’s 1999 proposal, proposing a new quantitative measure of avalanche. To address these needs, we present Mercy, a new block cipher accepting large (4096-b...
