The need for secret sharing using meaningful shadow images is an important method to protect the transmitted data that does not attract the attention of adversary, which has become obvious in the past few years. The recovery of the cover image without any distortion and security of the embedded secret string efficiently needs to be […]
Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) centrally contributes to aircraft traffic control in the US and Europe since 2020. ADS-B messages contain information about aircraft location and tracks to provide better real-time traceability of aircraft in space. However, the lack of security mechanisms will be an obstacle for trusting the ADS-B technology. Thus, countermeasures should be […]
The construction industry has long faced the challenge of introducing collaborative systems among multiple stakeholders. This challenge creates a high level of rigidity in terms of processing shared information related to different processes, robust holistic regulations, payment actualizations, and resource utilization across different nodes. The need for a digital platform to crossconnect all stakeholders is […]
SPARX family of lightweight block cipher was introduced in Asiacrypt 2016. The family consists of three variants (a) SPARX-64/128, (b) SPARX-128/128 and (c) SPARX-128/256. In this work, first, we propose a technique to perform Correlation Power Analysis (CPA) on the SPARX-64/128 cipher. Our technique uses a combination of first-order, second-order and modulo addition CPA methods. […]
In this paper, we give the first pre-image attack against 1-round KECCAK-512 hash function, which works for all variants of 1-round KECCAK. The attack gives a preimage of length less than 1024 bits by solving a system of 384 linear equations. We also give a collision attack against 1-round KECCAK using similar analysis. Read The […]

As two important cryptanalytic methods, impossible differential and integral cryptanalysis have attracted much attention in recent years. Although relations among other cryptanalytic approaches have been investigated, the link between these two methods has been missing. The motivation in this paper is to fix this gap and establish links between impossible differential cryptanalysis and integral cryptanalysis. […]
In this paper we analyse two variants of SIMON family of light-weight block ciphers against variants of linear cryptanalysis and present the best linear cryptanalytic results on these variants of reduced-round SIMON to date. We propose a time-memory trade-off method that finds differential/linear trails for any permutation allowing low Hamming weight differential/linear trails. Our method […]
SIMON is a family of 10 lightweight block ciphers published by Beaulieu et al. from the United States National Security Agency (NSA). A cipher in this family with K-bit key and N-bit block is called SIMONN/K. We present several linear characteristics for reduced-round SIMON32/64 that can be used for a key-recovery attack and extend them […]
SIMON is a family of ten lightweight block ciphers published by Beaulieu et al. from U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). In this paper we investigate the security of SIMON against different variants of linear cryptanalysis techniques, i.e. classical and multiple linear cryptanalysis and linear hulls. We present a connection between linear- and differential characteristics as […]
