Unlocking Permutation-Based Cryptography with Joan Daemen 🔐

On April 28, 2022, world experts in cryptography Joan Daemen and Lejla Batina from the Radboud University in the Netherlands gave their lectures at the FIT CTU in the presence of great interest. If you missed their visit to Prague, you have the opportunity to watch their lectures from the recording.

Joan Daemen is one of the two authors of the world-famous AES/Rijndael cipher used for more than 20 years for data security. In his lecture, Joan Daemen talked about a “counter-movement they started to clean up symmetric cryptography”. Their effort is to replace block ciphers (e.g. AES) by cryptographic permutations and so-called deck functions as central primitives. Permutation-based cryptography is at the same time simpler and more efficient than old-school block cipher based crypto.
