Project title: Cryptanalysis of Symmetric Key Primitives
Project description: There are many recently designed primitives in symmetric key cryptography. These primitives includes block ciphers, stream cipher, hash functions and MACs. As these primitives used widely, determining and analyzing their exact security is necessary.
In this PhD project, we will study some of these primitives and will analyze their exact security.
