Course Description

Overview

Explore the intricacies of cryptographic key generation in Pilsung through this 26-minute conference talk. Delve into the Pilsung round sub-processes, including the Rao-Sandelius shuffle permutation and randomness generation. Examine the 10-round column preserve technique and learn about a better distinguisher algorithm. Follow the speakers' quest for weak keys, their "dream" scenario, and potential areas for further investigation. Gain valuable insights into cryptographic analysis and key takeaways for improving security in key generation processes.
