Although the separation matrix with maximum distance (MDS matrix) has been widely used in the cipher and hash function, the implementation of the linear transformation based on MDS matrix in many current block ciphers is not effective because the number of occurrences of 1 in matrices is not much and the number of different elements in the matrices is quite large. In this paper, we propose a method to develop the effective MDS matrices based on the bi-regular matrix that maximizes the number of occurrences of 1 and minimizes the number of different elements in MDS matrices. By using the proposed method, we will construct the square MDS matrices 4 × 4, 8 × 8, 16 × 16 for using in the block ciphers.
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.
