IMPROVED FAST CORRELATION ATTACKS ON THE SOSEMANUK STREAM CIPHER

Improved Fast Correlation Attacks on the Sosemanuk Stream Cipher

In this paper, we present a new algorithm for fast correlation attacks on stream ciphers with improved cryptanalysis results on the Sosemanuk stream cipher, one of the 7 finalists in the Sneakers eSTREAM project in 2008.The new algorithm exploits the direct sum construction of covering codes in decoding phase which approximates the random vectors t

Total SciComm: A Strategy for Communicating Open Science

This paper seeks to introduce a strategy of science communication: Total SciComm or all-out science communication.We proposed that to maximize the outreach and impact, scientists should use different media to communicate different aspects of science, from core ideas to methods.The paper uses an example Nettle Leaf of a debate surrounding a now-retr
