We list here some third-party works that are related to Saturnin. This list is not exhaustive and not ordered.
- QCB: Efficient Quantum-secure Authenticated Encryption (Ritam Bhaumik, Xavier Bonnetain, André Chailloux, Gaëtan Leurent, María Naya-Plasencia, André Schrottenloher, Yannick Seurin) [link] – this paper introduces and studies the “QCB” mode for Authenticated Encryption, which we have proposed to use in our second-round update.
- Quantum Search for Lightweight Block Ciphers: GIFT, SKINNY, SATURNIN (Subodh Bijwe, Amit Kumar, Chauhan, Somitra Kumar Sanadhya) [link] – this paper performs quantum gate counts of exhaustive key search with Grover’s algorithm, and Saturnin is among the studied block ciphers.
- Lightweight Cryptography Primitives (Rhys Weatherley): the author performed a benchmark of second-round NIST candidates on microcontrollers (8-bit AVR platforms and 32-bit platforms). Saturnin is among the algorithms studied, including Saturnin-Short and Saturnin-Hash. Implementations are available on this Github repository.
- Assembly or Optimized C for Lighweight Cryptography on RISC-V? (Fabio Campos, Lars Jellema, Mauk Lemmen, Lars Müller, Daan Sprenkels, Benoît Viguier) [link] – This paper studies and compares different optimization strategies for implementing some of the NIST candidates. Saturnin is among the studied candidates.
