Getting SYMmetric CryPtography Out of its Comfort ZONe
Our lives are profoundly affected by the digitization of data, and the amount of sensitive data that is shared on cloud storage grows considerably every day. Whenever sensitive data is collected, manipulated, exchanged, analyzed, and retained, symmetric cryptography is used. The most commonly used and famous symmetric cryptography algorithms are AES and Keccak/SHA-3. Due to their importance, the entire research community focuses its attention on such schemes, with the result that the great majority of the symmetric primitives recently published resemble them. While positive at first glance, the limits of this approach and of the current state of the art are appearing in several contexts.…
