Persistent Cross-Round Carry Leakage in ARX Ciphers: Detection, Prediction, and Topological Classification

CONFERENCE: 6th International Conference on Electrical, Computer and Energy Technologies (ICECET 2026)
WHEN: 06–08 July 2026
WHERE: Rome, Italy
PAPER: Paper #1276
AUTHOR: David Tom Foss — sole author & speaker

Identifies carry leakage that persists across rounds in ARX ciphers, and shows it can be detected, predicted, and classified topologically — structural signal where full-round constructions are assumed to have none. Presented at ICECET 2026 in Rome.
