The NIST hash function competition to design a new cryptographic hash standard 'SHA-3' is currently one of the hot topics in cryptologic research, its outcome heavily depends on the public evaluation of the remaining 14 candidates. There have been several ...

This thesis is concerned with the analysis and design of symmetric cryptographic algorithms, with a focus on real-world algorithms. The first part describes original cryptanalysis results, including: The first nontrivial preimage attacks on the (reduced) h ...
Our main motivation is to design more user-friendly security protocols. Indeed, if the use of the protocol is tedious, most users will not behave correctly and, consequently, security issues occur. An example is the actual behavior of a user in front of an ...
We consider K-Nearest Neighbor search for high dimensional data in large-scale structured Peer-to-Peer networks. We present an efficient mapping scheme based on p-stable Locality Sensitive Hashing to assign hash buckets to peers in a Chord-style overlay ne ...
