DBST: a lightweight block cipher based on dynamic S-box
2023-07-14
(Press-News.org)
Block ciphers, a branch of modern cryptography, are playing a more prominent role in protecting information security as 5G technology develops. Although encryption algorithms of the traditional Feistel structure have great advantages in terms of consistent encryption and decryption, they have poor diffusion effects. Besides, they cannot adapt to the high throughput communication environment and resource-constrained devices. The S-box is the crucial nonlinear component in the block cipher and significantly determines the security of an algorithm. Unfortunately, the vast proportion of S-boxes exist in a static manner, which makes it difficult to effectively resist cryptographic attacks based on specific S-boxes.
To solve the problems, a research team led by Lang LI published their new research in Frontiers of Computer Science (2023, Vol. 17, Issue 3) co-published by Higher Education Press and Springer·Nature.
The team proposed a lightweight block cipher based on dynamic s-box named DBST for devices with limited hardware resources and high throughput requirements. The round function of DBST employs a novel generalized Feistel variant structure, which dramatically improves the diffusivity of the traditional Feistel structure. The S-box in the algorithm integrates bit-slice technology with subkeys to create a key-dependent dynamic S-box model that compensates for the shortcomings of static S-boxes.
In the research, they perform security analysis and hardware experiment on DBST. The experimental data demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has high security, high throughput rate and low hardware resources. Furthermore, differential analysis of the S-boxes proves that DBST's S-boxes have fewer differential properties than RECTANGLE's S-boxes.

CHICAGO --- Aerobic glycolysis, the process by which cells transform glucose into lactate, is key for eye development in mammals, according to a new Northwestern Medicine study published in Nature Communications.
While it has been well known that retinal cells use lactate during cell differentiation, the exact role that this process plays in early eye development was not previously understood.
The findings further the field’s understanding of the metabolic pathways underlying organ development, according to ...

“[...] in many cases [of chronic sinusitis] only symptom control is achieved.”
BUFFALO, NY- July 14, 2023 – A new research perspective was published in Oncoscience (Volume 10) on May 27, 2023, entitled, “Think outside the box – atypical infections in chronic sinusitis.”
Inflammations of the paranasal sinuses represent a common clinical picture. The annual prevalence of chronic sinusitis in Europe is up to 10%. Sinusitis can be divided into acute and chronic forms. In particular, the chronic forms (>12 weeks duration) are often challenging in the context of therapy.
Generally, all ventilation disorders of the paranasal sinuses (concha bullosa, ...

An estimated 1,200 Americans, on average, are diagnosed with Lyme disease each day. Some of those patients continue to experience negative effects, even after treatment.
Lyme disease researcher Brandon Jutras, associate professor in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and affiliated faculty of the Fralin Life Sciences Institute, recently received a $2.7 million grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, to study what causes the disease to linger long after treatment.
“Using a series of sophisticated molecular techniques, in combination with both bacterial and host genetics, we’re working ...
