The Odyssey of Entropy: Cryptography
Behrouz Zolfaghari, Khodakhast Bibak, Takeshi Koshiba · Entropy · 2022
After being introduced by Shannon as a measure of disorder and unavailable information, the notion of entropy has found its applications in a broad range of scientific disciplines. In this paper, we present a systematic review on the applications of entropy and related information-theoretical concepts in the design, implementation and evaluation of cryptographic schemes, algorithms, devices and systems. Moreover, we study existing trends, and establish a roadmap for future research in these areas.
