XTEA Block Cipher
Introduction TEA Extensions (XTEA) is a 64-bit block cipher with support for 128-bit keys. It was published in 1998 as a response to weaknesses found in the Tiny Encryption Algorithm (TEA) which was discussed previously in this post. XTEA compared … Continue reading
BlaBla Stream Cipher
Introduction BlaBla is a 256-bit stream cipher designed by Jean-Philippe Aumasson. It uses the same permutation function as the cryptographic hash algorithm BLAKE2b, that is similar to the permutation function used in the ChaCha stream cipher, hence the name. Frank … Continue reading
