Cryptographic Primitives
A symmetric or private-key cipher is one in which knowledge of the encryption key is explicitly or implicitly equivalent to knowing the decryption key. An asymmetric or public-key cipher is one in which the encryption key is effectively public knowledge, without giving any useful information about the decryption key. Until 30 years ago all ciphers were private-key. The very possibility of publi...
متن کاملLightweight 4x4 MDS Matrices for Hardware-Oriented Cryptographic Primitives
Linear diffusion layer is an important part of lightweight block ciphers and hash functions. This paper presents an efficient class of lightweight 4x4 MDS matrices such that the implementation cost of them and their corresponding inverses are equal. The main target of the paper is hardware oriented cryptographic primitives and the implementation cost is measured in terms of the required number ...
متن کاملOvercoming Cryptographic Impossibility Results using Blockchains
Blockchain technology has the potential to disrupt how cryptography is done. In this work, we propose to view blockchains as an “enabler”, much like indistinguishability obfuscation [BGI12, GGH13b, SW14] or one-way functions, for building a variety of cryptographic systems. Our contributions in this work are as follows: 1. A Framework for Proof-of-Stake based Blockchains: We provide an abstract...
متن کاملFeebly Secure Cryptographic Primitives *
In 1992, A. Hiltgen [9] provided first constructions of provably (slightly) secure cryptographic primitives, namely feebly one-way functions. These functions are provably harder to invert than to compute, but the complexity (viewed as the circuit complexity over circuits with arbitrary binary gates) is amplified only by a constant factor (in Hiltgen’s works, the factor approaches 2). In traditi...
متن کاملOn randomized cryptographic primitives
The paper investigates the extent to which a public source of random bits can be used to obtain some basic cryptographic primitives: hard functions, pseudo-random generators and one-way functions. Strong randomized hard functions and one-way functions are exhibited. The existence of a randomized pseudo-random generators with analogous safety parameters remains open, but a weaker variant is pres...
