Cellular Automata As Generators of Interleaving Sequences

An interleaving sequence is obtained by combining or intertwining elements from two or more sequences. On the other hand, cellular automata are known to be generators for keystream sequences. In this paper we present two families of one-dimensional cellular automata as generators of interleaving...

Wrong And Predictable Encryption

github.com/golang/crypto is vulnerable to predictable encryption. In the keystream generation of more than 256 GiB in the amd64 implementation of golang.org/x/crypto/salsa20 and golang.org/x/crypto/salsa20/salsa, it can first generate incorrect output and finally cycling back to the previously...

CVE-2019-11840

An issue was discovered in the supplementary Go cryptography library, golang.org/x/crypto, before v0.0.0-20190320223903-b7391e95e576. A flaw was found in the amd64 implementation of the golang.org/x/crypto/salsa20 and golang.org/x/crypto/salsa20/salsa packages. If more than 256 GiB of keystream i...
