In the era of pervasive multimedia communication, image data has become a dominant form of information exchange across embedded, mobile, and IoT platforms. This surge in visual data transmission ...

Zero-correlation linear cryptanalysis is an important method to analyze the security of block ciphers. But there are few works on zero-correlation linear attacks combined with the related-key setting.

Lightweight cryptography is essential for constrained embedded devices, which require secure but resource-efficient primitives that balance area, power consumption, latency, and throughput. To address ...

Block ciphers, a branch of modern cryptography, are playing a more prominent role in protecting information security as 5G technology develops. Although encryption algorithms of the traditional ...
