Design Analysis and Security Evaluation of CAESAR Competition Authenticated Encryption Algorithms

Design Analysis and Security Evaluation of CAESAR Competition Authenticated Encryption Algorithms

Content Introduction

Abstract

The CAESAR competition is an authenticated encryption algorithm competition funded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2013, aimed at soliciting authenticated encryption algorithms that outperform AES-GCM in both comprehensive performance and security, capable of providing both integrity and confidentiality. The final selected algorithms may be recommended to the industry for standardization. The competition consists of three rounds, with the third round concluding in 2018. This paper first introduces the design requirements and selection progress of the CAESAR competition candidate algorithms, then classifies the final round candidate algorithms based on design structure and encryption modes, reviews the progress of comprehensive performance and security analysis of the candidate algorithms, and finally discusses the design and analysis research trends of authenticated encryption algorithms.
