Generation of good cryptographic substitution-boxes by Ong, Wee Hern

“…Thereafter, the candidate Sboxes are compared using cryptographic criteria such as absence of fixed points, differential uniformity, maximal linear bias and minimum algebraic degree. The results revealed that although Feistel construction methods may not be able to improve the cryptographic bounds of the 8-by-8 bit Sbox, compared to AES Sbox, but slight modifications made to existing 8-by-8 bit Sboxes (except AES) allow an improvement in the construction of 8-by-8 bit Sboxes, inching closer to the AES Sbox cryptographic standards. …”

Deep neural networks have an inbuilt Occam’s razor by Mingard, C, Rees, H, Valle-Pérez, G, Louis, AA

“…This analysis shows that structured data, together with a specific Occam’s razor-like inductive bias towards (Kolmogorov) simple functions that exactly counteracts the exponential growth of the number of functions with complexity, is a key to the success of DNNs.…”

Robustly interrogating machine learning-based scoring functions: what are they learning? by Durant, G, Boyles, F, Birchall, K, Marsden, B, Deane, CM

“…Results: In this work, we compared the performance of a diverse set of popular MLBSFs (RFScore, SIGN, OnionNet-2, Pafnucy, and PointVS) to our proposed baseline models that can only learn dataset biases on a range of benchmarks. We found that these baseline models were competitive in accuracy to these MLBSFs in almost all proposed benchmarks, indicating these models only learn dataset biases. …”

Gold-catalyzed cyclization of yndiamides with isoxazoles via α-imino gold Fischer carbenes by Tong, Z, Smith, PJ, Pickford, HD, Christensen, KE, Anderson, EA

“…The reaction proceeds rapidly under mild conditions, with high regioselectivity being achieved by introducing a subtle steric bias between the nitrogen substituents on the yndiamide. …”
