Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe New Variable-Length Key Symmetric CryptosystemDavood Rezaei Pour, Mohamad Rushdan Md Said, Kamel Ariffin Mohd Atan, Mohamed OthmanProblem statement: In this study, we proposed a new 64-bit block cipher that accepted a variable-length key up to 512 bits, which was suitable for implementation in a variety of environments. Approach: The cipher algorithm was a 16-round Feistel network with a bijective function f and was made up of two key-dependent 16×16 S-boxes, bitwise rotations, and a carefully designed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,213 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMessage Based Random Variable Length Key Encryption AlgorithmHamid Mirvaziri, Kasmiran Jumari Mahamod Ismail, Zurina Mohd HanapiProblem statement: A block ciphers provides confidentiality in cryptography but cryptanalysis of the classical block ciphers demonstrated some old weaknesses grabbing a partial key in any stage of encryption procedure leads to reconstructing the whole key. Exhaustive key search shows that key generation should be indeterminist and random for each round. Matching cipher-text attack shows that larger size of block … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 6,804 accessesView PDFCite
