Title:
Jump index in T-functions for designing a new basic structure of stream ciphers

Authors: Ali Hadipour, Seyed Mahdi Sajadieh, Raheleh Afifi

Abstract:

The stream ciphers are a set of symmetric algorithms that receive a secret message as a sequence of bits and perform an encryption operation using a complex function based on key and IV, and combine xor with bit sequences. One of the goals in designing stream ciphers is to obtain a minimum period, which is one of the primary functions of using T-functions. On the other hand, the use of jump index in the design of LFSRs has made the analysis of LFSR-based stream ciphers more complicated. In this paper, we have tried to introduce a new method for designing the initial functions of stream ciphers with the use of T-functions concepts and the use of jump indexes, that has the maximum period. This method is resist side-channel attacks and can be efficiently implemented in hardware for a wide range of target processes and platforms.
