Linear Cryptanalysis Using Multiple Approximations and FEAL

We describe the results of experiments on the use of multiple approximations in a linear cryptanalytic attack on FEAL; we pay particular attention to FEAL-8. While these attacks on FEAL are interesting in their own right, many important and intriguing issues in the use of multiple approximations are brought to light.
