Symmetric Design
summary
Three short, concrete results: a new small‑state AEAD called FAN claims FAN: 192‑bit state, 128‑bit key, 64‑bit IV, 52‑round init, uses a byte‑wise S‑box and spindle/blade structure, reports 2,327 GE hardware and 9.6 GB/s and asserts it resists known stream‑cipher attacks. A proof paper gives related‑key CCA bounds for generalized Feistel networks, claiming EFN/AFN: 4 rounds RKA‑CCA for AFN; ceil(2m/n)+O(1) for EFN using the H‑coefficient method. A KDM analysis for key‑alternating Feistel shows 4‑round KAF is secure only under KAF: claw‑free + offset‑free KDM sets, identifies sliding attacks, and leaves higher‑round conjectures.
