Abstract

Current symmetric ciphers including the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) are deterministic and open. Using standard ciphers is necessary for interoperability. However, it gives the potential opponent significant leverage, as it facilitates all the knowledge and time he needs to design effective attacks. In this review paper, we highlight prominent contributions in the field of symmetric encryption. Furthermore, we shed light on some contributions that aim at mitigating potential threats when using standard symmetric ciphers. Furthermore, we highlight the need for more practical contributions in the direction of polymorphic or multishape ciphers.
