We present a technique which aids in the linear cryptanalysis of a block cipher and allows for a reduction in the amount of data required for a successful attack. We note the limit...
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...
The SOSEMANUK stream cipher is one of the finalists of the eSTREAM project. In this paper, we improve the linear cryptanalysis of SOSEMANUK presented in Asiacrypt 2008. We apply th...
Abstract. This paper reports on the improved and multiple linear cryptanalysis of reduced round Serpent by mean of a branch-and-bound characteristic search within the algorithm. We...
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...
