Two signi cant recent advances in cryptanalysis, namely the di erential attack put forward by Biham and Shamir [BS91] and the linear attack by Matsui [Mat94a, Mat94b], have had devastating impact on data encryption algorithms. An eminent problem that researchers are facing is to design S-boxes or substitution boxes so that an encryption algorithm that employs the S-boxes is immune to the attack...

Abstract. In FSE 2005, transparency order was proposed as a parameter for the robustness of S-boxes to Differential Power Analysis (DPA): lower transparency order implying more resistance. However most cryptographically strong Boolean functions have been found to have high transparency order. Also it is a difficult problem to search for Boolean functions which are strong cryptographically, and ...

This paper analyses all 24 possible round constructions using different combinations of the four round components of the AES cipher: SubBytes, ShiftRows, AddRoundKey and MixColumns. We investigate how the different round orderings affect the security of AES against differential, linear, multiset, impossible differential and boomerang attacks. The cryptographic strenght of each cipher variant wa...

If (R,M) and (S,N) are quasilocal (commutative integral) domains and f : R → S is a (unital) ring homomorphism, then f is said to be a strong local homomorphism (resp., radical local homomorphism) if f (M) = N (resp., f (M) ⊆ N and for each x ∈ N , there exists a positive integer t such that xt ∈ f (M)). It is known that if f : R→ S is a strong local homomorphism where R is a pseudovaluation do...

Objective(s): Charcot-Marie Tooth disease (CMT) is one of the main inherited causes of motor and sensory neuropathies with variable expressivity and age-of onset. Although more than 70 genes have been identified for CMT, more studies are needed to discover other genes involved in CMT. Introduction of whole exome sequencing (WES) to capture all the exons may help to fin...

In this paper, the continuity and strong continuity in domain-free information algebras and labeled information algebras are introduced respectively. A more general concept of continuous function which is defined between two domain-free continuous information algebras is presented. It is shown that, with the operations combination and focusing, the set of all continuous functions between two do...
