  • Abstract
    RCBC2 is a new cryptosystem, developed on the concept of rotor enhanced block cipher which was proposed before by the authors. The rotor enhanced block cipher concept was considered from a new point of view, which is to use rotors to achieve two basic cryptographic operations; permutation, and substitution. Round key is generated using rotor too. That generated key is used to achieve ciphertext key dependency. To enhance non-linearity and to resist linear cryptanalysis, REBC2 has a variable block, and key lengths. Each round has its own block length which depends on round the key and round key length. Dependency is based upon the pervious round generated key. Another feature of REBC2 is that the used rotors are not ordinary rotating arrays containing large amount of static data, but they are implemented using round key dependent mathematical linear expressions, which was firstly proposed by authors in KAMFEE. This achieved memory-less, normalized ciphertext statistics, and small processing speed trend.
