UPDATE2

Edu Cer a obtinut astazi la ora 13,40 (ora Romaniei) acceptul domnului  Takeshi Shimoyama de la

Fujitsu Laboratories LTD, Japonia de a face public si pozitia dinsului trimisa Edu Cer tot astazi la ora 5,25 (ora Romaniei).

Desi aveam raspunsul dinsului nu l-am facut public pana nu aveam acordul domniei sale. Mai jos este pozitia domniei sale

care exprima faptul ca dl. Ioan Mang a comis un act de plagiat si ca domnul Shimoyama spune ferm:

‘I feel very sad such an illegal paper was submitted and was published.’

———————————–

I’m Takeshi Shimoyama who is one of the authors of the paper

“Correlation Attack to the Block Cipher RC5 and the Simplified

Variants of RC6″. which was submitted to 3rd AES conference.

(http://csrc.nist.gov/archive/ aes/round2/conf3/aes3papers. html)

I read the attached paper, then I’m convinced that the paper is

plagirised version of our paper. Though the title is not same as my paper, all of the algorithms,

data and the sentences are quite same as our paper.

I feel very sad such an illegal paper was submitted and was published.

I keep researching for 15 years or more in my field (cryptanalysis). It can be declared that Mr.Mang’s insisting is completely wrong. An illegal quotation and an illegal copy are major violations, in the cryptanalysis field, as well as other academic fields, of course. In such an act, there will be a possibility giving a severe punishment, such that the submission to any conference or journal of the field from them will be prohibited in the future. Anyway, Thank you for your sending information. Sincerely yours, Takeshi Shimoyama Fujitsu Laboratories LTD.

UPDATE. Prof. dr. Eli Biham, decan al Departamentului Computer Science de la Technion, Haifa Israel, confirma pe pagina proprie de internet, cele relatate in articol
