Symmetric Cryptography 2
summary
Two results: for 2‑key Triple DES the paper proves a tight multi‑user security bound and shows system security equals 112 − log2 q bits where q is total queries, finds FX‑style whitening only adds about eight bits, and derives the bound using a resampling method within a coefficient‑H proof so attacks cannot be improved. For AES‑192 the work corrects prior key‑schedule relations and gives improved meet‑in‑the‑middle recoveries on nine‑round AES‑192 that lower memory complexity by exploiting extra key relations while keeping time and data the same.
