SCMAC and LOL2.0: An AEAD Design Framework and A New Version of LOL Stream Cipher Design Framework

본문 미리보기

In this paper, we introduce SCMAC, a general framework that transforms large-memory stream ciphers into AEAD schemes. It represents an intermediate design paradigm between Encrypt-then-MAC and dedicated single-pass AEAD, partially integrating encryption and authentication mechanisms while mitigating the risk of state leakage associated with immediate absorption and squeezing. Consequently, this approach harmonizes high performance with enhanced security. Additionally, we propose LOL2.0, an enhan
