Secure Multiparty Computation (MPC)

From Farfalle to Megafono via Ciminion: The PRF Hydra for MPC Applications

The area of multi-party computation (MPC) has recently increased in popularity and number of use cases. At the current state of the art, Ciminion, a Farfalle-like cryptographic function, achieves the best performance in MPC applications involving …

On a Generalization of Substitution-Permutation Networks: The HADES Design Strategy

Keyed and unkeyed cryptographic permutations often iterate simple round functions. Substitution-permutation networks (SPNs) are an approach that is popular since the mid 1990s. One of the new directions in the design of these round functions is to …

Feistel Structures for MPC, and More

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 …
