Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Cryptography
  • Algebra
  • Algorithm

Willi Meier mainly focuses on Stream cipher, Cryptography, Boolean function, Correlation attack and Algorithm. His Stream cipher study focuses on eSTREAM in particular. His work investigates the relationship between Boolean function and topics such as Function that intersect with problems in T-function and Correlation.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Correlation attack, Computational complexity theory, Brute-force search and Generator is strongly linked to Key generator. The various areas that Willi Meier examines in his Algorithm study include Shrinking generator and Cube. His Discrete mathematics research integrates issues from Correlation immunity and Block cipher.

His most cited work include:

  • Algebraic attacks on stream ciphers with linear feedback (838 citations)
  • Algebraic Attacks and Decomposition of Boolean Functions (424 citations)
  • Fast correlation attacks on certain stream ciphers (412 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Willi Meier mainly investigates Stream cipher, Algorithm, Theoretical computer science, Cryptanalysis and Key. His research in Stream cipher focuses on subjects like Discrete mathematics, which are connected to Algebraic number. His research integrates issues of Shrinking generator, Sequence and Interpolation in his study of Algorithm.

His Theoretical computer science research includes themes of Differential cryptanalysis, Linear cryptanalysis, Block cipher, Cryptosystem and Hash function. His Cryptanalysis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Skein, Symmetric-key algorithm, Authentication and Algebra. Willi Meier focuses mostly in the field of Key, narrowing it down to topics relating to Arithmetic and, in certain cases, Time complexity and Polynomial.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Stream cipher (45.81%)
  • Algorithm (27.74%)
  • Theoretical computer science (27.10%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Stream cipher (45.81%)
  • Cryptanalysis (25.81%)
  • Trivium (10.97%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Willi Meier mostly deals with Stream cipher, Cryptanalysis, Trivium, Arithmetic and Cube attack. His study in Stream cipher is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Theoretical computer science and State. The Cryptanalysis study combines topics in areas such as Symmetric-key algorithm, Algebra and Cipher.

His work carried out in the field of Cube attack brings together such families of science as Discrete mathematics, Cube, Division and Parallel computing. In his work, Computer engineering is strongly intertwined with Block cipher, which is a subfield of Discrete mathematics. His Algorithm study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hash function and Interpolation.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Cube Attacks on Non-Blackbox Polynomials Based on Division Property (40 citations)
  • Improved Division Property Based Cube Attacks Exploiting Algebraic Properties of Superpoly (23 citations)
  • A Key-Recovery Attack on 855-round Trivium (12 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Cryptography
  • Algebra
  • Programming language

Stream cipher, Cryptanalysis, Cube attack, Trivium and Key are his primary areas of study. His Stream cipher study combines topics in areas such as Theoretical computer science, State and Cipher. His Cryptanalysis research entails a greater understanding of Algorithm.

His work focuses on many connections between Cube attack and other disciplines, such as Discrete mathematics, that overlap with his field of interest in Cube and Symmetric-key algorithm. His Key-recovery attack research incorporates elements of Upper and lower bounds, Polynomial, Degree and Arithmetic. His eSTREAM research includes elements of Keystream, Collision attack, Correlation attack, Collision and Point.
