I have no clue whether the stream cipher in that paper is any good, but the security analysis in the paper is basically nonsense. The paper contains gibberish like "[axiom] A8 comes true by a relativistic interpretation". Your guess is as good as mine what that is supposed to mean. And the alleged "proof" of Theorem 1 is bogus. In general, the paper mimics the language of provable security, but without the content. I would not recommend using a cipher that has not been published in an appropriate peer-reviewed conference and scrutinized by the cryptography community for several years. Based on this, I would not recommend using this stream cipher at this time. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
