Some Algebraic Aspects of the Advanced Encryption Standard
Abstract. Since being officially selected as the new Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Rijndael has continued to receive great attention and has had its security continuously evaluated by the cryptographic community. Rijndael is a cipher with a simple, elegant and highly algebraic structure. Its selection as the AES has led to a growing interest in the study of algebraic properties of block ciphers, and in particular algebraic techniques that can be used in their cryptanalysis. In these notes we will examine some algebraic aspects of the AES and consider a number of algebraic techniques that could be used in the analysis of the cipher. In particular, we will focus on the large, though surprisingly simple, systems of multivariate quadratic equations derived from the encryption operation, and consider some approaches that could be used when attempting to solve these systems. These notes refer to an invited talk given at the Fourth Conference on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES4) i...
