oh yes sorry I don't specify that. Of course I mean "modulo" add, and modulo
the same size used by any XOR ( with one bit register XOR is equivalent to
ADD).

so in the AES 32bits implementation exemple, of course I speak about
replacing integer 32bits XOR by integer 32bits ADD ( so modulo 2^32 )

And don't be worried, that's not because I don't think XOR is not secure !!
:-) It's just therorical knowledge. I want to know if "modulo add" is as
safe as XOR .

Any idea ?
