Algebraic Aspects of the Advanced Encryption Standard

Provides a comprehensive analysis of the application of algebraic techniques to the AES instead of existing analytical techniques for block ciphers with a statistical approach Provides techniques that may have a dramatic effect on the security of the AES The AES is widely used in the financial and communications industries Authors address new research areas in symmetric cryptanalysis Authors are affiliated with the highly-regarded Information Security Group -- one of the largest academic security groups in the world -- at Royal Holloway, University of London Includes supplementary material: sn. pub/extras
