Differential cryptanalysis analyzes ciphers by studying the development of differences during encryption. Linear cryptanalysis is similar but is based on studying approximate linea...
Matsui's linear cryptanalysis for iterated block ciphers is generalized by replacing his linear expressions with I O sums. For a single round, an I O sum is the XOR of a balan...
This paper shows how a well-balanced trade-off between a generic workstation and dumb but fast reconfigurable hardware can lead to a more efficient implementation of a cryptanalysi...
Linear cryptanalysis, along with differential cryptanalysis, is an important tool to evaluate the security of block ciphers. This work introduces a novel extension of linear crypt...
