Rotational analysis of ChaCha permutation
Stefano Barbero, Emanuele Bellini, Rusydi Makarim
We show that the underlying permutation of ChaCha20 stream cipher does not behave as a random permutation for up to 17 rounds with respect to rotational cryptanalysis. In particula…
An isomorphism between the convolution product and the componentwise sum connected to the D'Arcais numbers and the Ramanujan tau function
Stefano Barbero, Umberto Cerruti, Nadir Murru
Given a commutative ring with identity, let be the set of sequences of elements in . We investigate a novel isomorphism between and , where…
Approximations of algebraic irrationalities with matrices
Stefano Barbero, Umberto Cerruti, Nadir Murru
We discuss the use of matrices for providing sequences of rationals that approximate algebraic irrationalities. In particular, we study the regular representation of algebraic exte…
Linear fractional transformations and non-linear leaping convergents of some continued fractions
Christopher Havens, Stefano Barbero, Umberto Cerruti +1
For an infinite continued fraction and a linear fractional transformation, we study the continued fraction expansion of and its c…
