FOX Specifications v1.0

  • Publication date: 2003

In this document, we describe the design of a new family of block ciphers, called FOX. The main goals of this design, besides a very high security level, are a large implementation flexibility on various platforms as well as high performances. The high-level structure is based on a Lai-Massey scheme, while the round functions are substitution-permutation networks. In addition, we propose a new design of strong and efficient key-schedule algorithms.

Keywords: Block ciphers ; Lai-Massey scheme
