Abstract
Methods and systems for improving authenticated encryption in counter-based cipher systems are presented. Embodiments of the present invention provide secure and efficient means to achieve both the authenticity and privacy goals of authenticated encryption, and are compatible with most block cipher modes of operation, e.g. CBC, CFB and CTR, and most symmetric-key cryptographic functions, e.g. AES, DES and RC5. In particular, using block cipher encryption with data-dependent initialization vectors achieve the privacy goal and enable over-the-air transmissions to remain uncompromised, especially in scenarios that may result in the counter being reset in counter-based cipher systems.
