Cryptographic algorithms for confidentiality and authentication play a major important role in nowadays information security Sen (2012) [1]. Encryption algorithms are becoming more necessary to ensure the securely transmitted data over insecure communication channels. A new stream cipher is proposed. The design is very simple and based on 16 shift registers, nonlinear and an output function. The proposed algorithm is characterized by a high performance in software with measured encryption/decryption on Pentium IV processor. We have performed detailed security analysis, in particular, and standard statistical randomness test of the produced ciphertext. Experimental results in terms of performance and resources are presented.Ó 2014 Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Ain Shams University.
Cryptographic hash functions are an important tool in cryptography for applications such as digital signature of messages, message authentication, and key derivation. This paper presents a new cryptographic keyed hash function design, named Concrete Hash function Algorithm, CHA-128, which has some difference from the popular hash function designs and used for ensuring integrity of messages to a higher degree to suit the fast growing network applications. The function structure is designed permit a wide variety of implementation tradeoffs. Also CHA is proposed as very smooth 128 bit hash function algorithm, which is designed according to permit a wide variety of computing implementation tradeoffs. By very smooth, it means that the smoothness bound is multiple fixed sequential functions. A valuable comparison between the software performance of CHA-128 design and some popular hash function algorithms designs is performed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
