Linear property and optimal design of MARS-like cryptographic structure by Nianping WANG, Lirong HONG

“…A MARS-like cryptographic structure was proposed and some linear properties of this cryptographic structure were given.An optimal design method of linear transformation in MARS-like cryptographic structure was also given.Concretely, by analyzing the transfer law of a class of linear approximation with special structure, regardless of the selected linear bijection, the existence of the linear approximation with 0 active round function in the t(1≤t≤3) round had been demonstrated.Furthermore, there was at least one with no more than 1, ⌊8t/15⌋ active round function among the 4, t(t＆gt;4)-round of linear approximation, respectively.On this basis, an optimal design method was proposed to make the lower bound of the number of active round function closer to the maximum possible value than the MARS cryptographic structure for the linear transformation in the MARS-like cryptographic structure.…”

Unleashing virus structural biology: Probing protein and membrane intermediates in the dynamic process of membrane fusion by Kelly K. Lee

“…Additionally, the processes viruses carry out serve as excellent model systems for analogous cellular processes, but in more accessible form. Capturing and analyzing these dynamic events poses a major challenge for many structural biological approaches due to the size and complexity of the assemblies and the heterogeneity and transience of the functional states that are populated. …”
