Trust-by-Design – Strong Security Arguments for Symmetric Key Cryptography
Symmetric cryptographic primitives protect a large percentage of today's data, whether in transit or storage. This trend is going to increase even more in the future. Consequently, new domain-specific ciphers are needed with significant performance benefits for areas such as memory-encryption, multi-party computation, or crypto-currencies. Great progress has been made regarding their performance. Less progress has been made for security arguments that seek to proof their resilience against malignant attacks. Indeed, most of the security analysis we apply for symmetric ciphers is based on false assumptions and most attacks trying to break those ciphers are flawed. As a consequence, it takes…
