Souradyuti Paul

Souradyuti Paul is an Indian cryptologist (PhD, 2006, Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium). He took part in cryptanalysis of the following ciphers among others.

* RC4
* Helix
* Py
* Py6
* TPy
* TPy6
* Pypy
* TPypy

His other contributions (with Bart Preneel) include

* solving differential equations of addition
* proving a combinatorial problem (conjectured by Itsik Mantin and Adi Shamir) related to the number of inputs and outputs of the stream cipher RC4.

He also participated in design of the following ciphers

* RC4A (see references for a paper by Alexander Maximov for cryptanalytic attacks against it)
* RCR-32, RCR-64
