Abstract

Block circulant MDS matrices are used in the design of linear diffusion layers for lightweight cryptographic applications. Most of the work on construction of block circulant MDS matrices focused either on finite fields or GL(m, F2). The main objective of this paper is to extend the above study of block circulant MDS matrices to finite commutative rings. Additionally, we examine the behavior of the XOR count distribution under different reducible polynomials of equal degree over F2. We show that the determinant of a block circulant matrix over a ring can be expressed in a simple form. We construct 4 x 4 and 8 x 8 block circulant matrices over a ring. Furthermore, for non-negative integer f (x) is an irreducible polynomial of degree m. To facilitate efficient implementation, we analyze XOR distinct XOR distributions when utilizing two reducible polynomials of equal degree, with XOR count distributions 776 and 764, respectively. However, when using irreducible polynomials of the same in lightweight cryptography.
