Quantum Stream Cipher by Yuen-2000 Protocol

Quantum stream cipher based on optical communications

In 2000, an attractive new quantum cryptography was discovered by H.P.Yuen based on quantum communication theory. It is applicable to direct encryption, for example quantum stream cipher based on Yuen protocol(Y-00), with high speeds and for long distance by sophisticated optical devices which can work under the average photon number per signal light pulse:< n >= 1000 ∼ 10000. In addition, it m...

A Stream Cipher Based on Chaotic Permutations

In this paper we introduce a word-based stream cipher consisting of a chaotic part operating as a chaotic permutation and a linear part, both of which designed on a finite field. We will show that this system can operate in both synchronized and self-synchronized modes. More specifically, we show that in the self-synchronized mode the stream cipher has a receiver operating as an unknown input o...

The rakaposhi Stream Cipher

In this paper, we introduce the rakaposhi stream cipher. The algorithm is based on Dynamic Linear Feedback Shift Registers, with a simple and potentially scalable design, and is particularly suitable for hardware applications with restricted resources. The rakaposhi stream cipher offers 128-bit security, and aims to complement the current eSTREAM portfolio of hardware-oriented stream ciphers.

The Stream Cipher Rabbit

1 This is version 1.1 of the cipher specification as submitted to the eStream project. The only changes in comparison to version 1.0 are some additions to section 7 on computational efficiency and a new appendix A, which describes an 80-bit key setup.
