Abstract (Summary of the Work)

Inverse Free HCTR (IFHCTR) is a length-preserving encryption scheme, which provides a tweakable strong pseudorandom permutation. IFHCTR is modification of HCTR scheme in which inverse of block cipher is not required. IFHCTR supports arbitrary variable input length with the minore restriction that data should be at least 2n bits long, where n is the block length of block cipher. IFHCTR also supports variable length tweaks. We prove that IFHCTR is a strong tweakable pseudorandom permutation (sprp), when the underlying blockcipher is a pseudorandom function (prf). IFHCTR can be used in disk sector encryption, and other applications where length-preserving encryptions are required, especially when size of the message is not multiple of n bits.
