Volume 3, November 2006
This is the second edition of this seminal journal since its
relaunch, and it is a please to note that craptologic research
is going from strength to strength.
We can get on down to the musical delights of
Rogaway and Shrimpton's Key Rap, which we believe is a sure
fire top-ten hit.
Further extensions of the idea of deletion cryptanalysis are
presented by R and R Phan, by their new technique of Selection
Cryptanalysis.
For those who like to use secure lightweight ciphers it is
important to note that the Caesar Cipher meets all the same
design goals as the new AES, it is secure against differential
and linear cryptanalysis. We need to thank Malgorzata Kupiecka
for this important insight.
All academic cryptographers can now breath a sigh of relief due to
Pierrick Gaudry's cryptographically secure variant of
a well known research assessment tool.
Finally, we are pleased to provide a proper place for Mihir Bellare
to publish his world renowned Crypto-Topic Generator, this
tool has been the saviour of many a PhD student (and supervisor)
over the years.
