VMPC-MAC: A Stream Cipher Based Authenticated Encryption Scheme.
Bartosz Zoltak · 2004
A stream cipher based algorithm for computing Message Authentication Codes is described. The algorithm employs the internal state of the underlying cipher to minimize the required additional-toencryption computational e#ort and maintain general simplicity of the design. The scheme appears to provide proper statistical properties, a comfortable level of resistance against forgery attacks in a chosen ciphertext attack model and high e#ciency in software implementations.
