Understanding the ZK-Crypt

This section provides all background material for the ZK-Crypt with supporting documentation:

• Understanding the ZK-Crypt - a Cipher for (almost) all Reasons  [PDF]

A major ZK-Crypt document explaining the initial whys and wherefores, permutations and immunity to Message Modification, amongst other things.

• Bard on Cryptanalytic Complexity and Repeat Words  [PDF]

Bard shows why you can never (in your lifetime) algebraically analyze the whole core and why this is especially true of the 64 bit configuration.

• Introduction to the Basic Tenets with Rationales and Claims  [PDF]

Security analysis of the ZK-Crypt including basic tenets and rationale for major enhancements.

• ZK-Crypt Features - Answers to NIST Evaluation  [PDF]

Demonstrates the attributes for the SHA-3 contest and is based on a NIST request for explanations relating to attacks, provenance of attributes, tunables and limitations.

• A-Z Guide to the Enhanced ZK-Crypt - an Annotated Glossary  [PDF]

This A-Z Guide covers all major concepts and terms.  If you still need information, please contact us.

• ZK Circuits and Concepts, Volume 1 and ZK Circuits and Concepts, Volume 2  [PDF]

Block diagrams and circuits especially for engineers and implementers - the source for the Algo Spec and Software Simulator.
