Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the state of the art in the design of cryptographic algorithms. It reviews the different type of algorithms for encryption and authentication and explains the principles of stream ciphers, block ciphers, hash functions, public-key encryption algorithms, and digital signature schemes. Subsequently the design and evaluation procedures for cryptographic algorithms are discussed.
