Related-Key Boomerang Attack on Block Cipher SQUARE
Square is 8-round SPN structure block cipher and its round function and key schedule have been slightly modified to design building blocks of Rijndael. Key schedule of Square is simple and efficient but fully affine, so we apply a related-key attack on it. We find a 3-round related-key differential trail with probability 2−28 , which have zero differences both on its input and output states, and this trail is called the local collision in [5]. By extending of this related-key differential, we construct a 7-round related-key boomerang distinguisher and successful attack on full round Square. The best attack on Square have ever been known is the square attack on 6-round reduced variant of Square. In this paper, we present a key recovery attack on the full round of Square using a related-key boomerang distinguisher. We construct a 7-round related-key boomerang distinguisher with probability 2−119 by finding local collision, and calculate its probability using ladder switch and l...
