Welcome to the resource topic for 2021/1441

Title:
Length-preserving encryption with HCTR2

Authors: Paul Crowley, Nathan Huckleberry, Eric Biggers

Abstract:

On modern processors HCTR is one of the most efficient constructions for building a tweakable super-pseudorandom permutation. However, a bug in the specification and another in Chakraborty and Nandi’s security proof invalidate the claimed security bound. We here present HCTR2, which fixes these issues and improves the security bound, performance and flexibility. GitHub: GitHub - google/hctr2: HCTR2 specification and test vectors
