Metzger" <perryat_private> Subject: a gaggle of new ciphers 0) The final final deadline on AES submissions ends today. The AES effort is shaping up to be rather interesting -- several intriguing ciphers have been submitted http://csrc.nist.gov/encryption/aes/aes_home.htm 1) Bruce Schneier announces Counterpane's AES submission, Twofish: http://www.counterpane.com/twofish.html Twofish looks interesting. 2) Ron Rivest and his team from RSA DSI announce their AES submission, RC6, which is a very clever looking algorithm, apparently highly resistant to attack, and certainly extraordinary in its simplicity. http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/~rivest/publications.html 3) Ross Anderson, Eli Biham and Lars Knudsen's AES candidate is Serpent. I haven't yet studied it. http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/ 4) I just came across an algorithm called "MISTY1" designed by Matsui & Ohta and published as an internet draft. It appears to be completely resistant to differential and linear cryptanalysis. It seems to have some interesting properties. (To my knowledge, it is *not* an AES candidate.) http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ohta-misty1desc-00.txt Perry -o- Subscribe: mail majordomoat_private with "subscribe isn".
