| Abstract: | In Crypto 2001, Bellare {\em et al.} introduced {\em online cipher} (or online permutation) and proposed two Hash-CBC mode constructions, namely {\bf HCBC} and {\bf HPCBC} along with security proofs. We observe that, the security proofs in their paper are {\em wrong} and it may not be fixed easily. In this paper, we provide a {\em simple} security analysis of these online ciphers. Moreover, we propose two variants of HPCBC, namely {\bf MHCBC-1} and {\bf MHCBC-2}. The first variant, MHCBC-1, is a slight modification of HPCBC so that it is more efficient in performance as well as in memory compare to HPCBC. The other one, MHCBC-2 requires only {\em one-key} (note that, HCBC and HPCBC require at least two and three keys respectively) and does not require any $\varepsilon$-$\mathrm{\Delta}$Universal Hash Family (which is costly in general). |
