Cryptanalysis of Symmetric-key Primitives I
This course provides a systematic introduction to the cryptanalysis of symmetric-key ciphers. The course covers modern cryptanalytic techniques and automatic cryptanalysis methods. The topics include, but are not limited to:
- Differential Cryptanalysis and Variants
- Linear Cryptanalysis and Variants
- Impossible Differential Cryptanalysis
- Zero-Correlation Cryptanalysis
- Differential-Linear Cryptanalysis
- Integral Cryptanalysis and Variants
- Meet-in-the-Middle Cryptanalysis
- Boomerang Cryptanalysis
- Automatic Tools for Cryptanalysis
- Differential Cryptanalysis and Variants
