On Circulant Involutory MDS Matrices
Résumé
We give a new algebraic proof of the non-existence of circulant involutory MDS matrices with coefficients in fields of characteristic 2. In odd characteristics we give parameters for the potential existence. If we relax circulancy to θ-circulancy, then there is no restriction to the existence of θ-circulant involutory MDS matrices even for fields of characteristic 2. Finally, we relax further the involutory definition and propose a new direct construction of almost involutory θ-circulant MDS matrices. We show that they can be interesting in hardware implementations.
