Abstract: In 1997,Patarin and Goubin introduce new asymmetric cryptosystems based on the difficulty of recovering two systems of multivariate polynomials from their composition. We make a different use of this difficult algorithmic problem to obtain a way of representing block ciphers concealing their design but still leaving them executable. We show how to implement our solution with Field Programmable Gate Array. Finally, we give a compact representation of our solution using Binary Decision Diagrams.
