Fast and Sound Cryptography: From Theoretical Foundations to Practical Constructions (FSC)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

"Much currently deployed cryptography is designed using more “art'” than “science,” and most of the schemes used in practice lack rigorous justification for their security. While theoretically sound designs do exist, they tend to be quite a bit slower to run and hence are not realistic from a practical point of view. This gap is especially evident in “low-level” cryptographic primitives, which are ...
