Design of S-boxes Defined with Cellular Automata Rules

2017

The aim of this paper is to find cellular automata (CA) rules that are used to describe S-boxes with good cryptographic properties and low implementation cost. Up to now, CA rules have been used in …

Novel Non-cryptographic Hash Functions for Networking and Security Applications on FPGA

2021

This paper proposes the design and FPGA implementation of five novel non-cryptographic hash functions, that are suitable to be used in networking and security applications that require fast lookup and/or counting architectures. Our approach is …

A Systematic Exploration of Evolutionary Computation for the Design of Hardware-oriented Non-cryptographic Hash Functions

2024 · Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference

Non-cryptographic (NC) hash functions are crucial in high-speed search applications and probabilistic data structures (PDS) such as Bloom filters and Count-Min sketches for efficient lookups and counting. These operations necessitate execution at line rates to …
