This book presents the use of tweakable block ciphers for lightweight authenticated encryption, especially applications targeted toward hardware acceleration where such efficient schemes have demonstrated competitive performance and strong provable security with large margins. The first part of the book describes and analyzes the hardware implementation aspects of state-of-the-art tweakable block cipher-based mode ΘCB3. With this approach, a framework for studying a class of tweakable block cipher-based schemes is developed and two family of authenticated encryption algorithms are designed...

This book consolidates several key aspects from the state-of-the-art research in symmetric key cryptography, which is among the cornerstones of digital security. It presents the content in an informative yet beginner-friendly, accompanied with toy examples and comprehensible graphics. In particular, it highlights the recent developments in tool-assisted analysis of ciphers. Furthermore, promising device-dependent attacks, such as fault attack and side channel attacks on symmetric key ciphers, are discussed in detail. One salient feature of this book is to present a detailed analysis of...
