The NESSIE call includes a request for a broad set of algorithms providing date confidentiality, data authentication, and entity authentication. These algorithms include block ciphers, stream ciphers, hash functions, MAC algorithms, digital signature schemes, and public-key encryption and identification schemes. In this chapter, several cryptographic algorithms from NESSIE (New European Schemes for Signature, Integrity, and Encryption) research project candidates are analysed.
Below you can find a legend describing the cryptographic criteria used in this chapter:
| NL | Nonlinearity |
| NL2 | 2-nd order nonlinearity |
| LD | Linearity distance |
| DEG | Algebraic degree |
| AI | Algebraic immunity |
| MAXAC | Absolute indicator |
| σ | Sum-of-squares indicator |
| LP | Linear potential |
| DP | Differential Potential |
