We prove beyond-birthday-bound security for most of the well-known types of generalized Feistel networks: (1) unbalanced Feistel networks, where the n-bit to m-bit round functions ...
Recently a powerful cryptanalytic tool—the slide attack— was introduced [3]. Slide attacks are very successful in breaking iterative ciphers with a high degree of self-similari...
This paper reports on an improvement of Matsui’s linear cryptanalysis that reduces the complexity of an attack with algorithm 2, by taking advantage of the Fast Fourier Transform...
Abstract. In this paper we introduce the method of bi-linear cryptanalysis (BLC), designed specifically to attack Feistel ciphers. It allows to construct periodic biased character...
