Post-Quantum Cryptography

Signature schemes based on the MPC-in-the-head approach (MPCitH) have either been designed by taking a proof system and selecting a suitable symmetric-key primitive (Picnic, CCS16), or starting with an existing primitive such as AES and trying to …

We study approaches to generalized Feistel constructions with low-degree round functions with a focus on x - x^3 . Besides known constructions, we also provide a new balanced Feistel construction with improved diffusion properties. This then allows …
