Welcome to the resource topic for 2003/033

Title:
Integral Cryptanalysis on reduced-round Safer++

Authors: Gilles Piret, Jean-Jacques Quisquater

Abstract:

In this paper we describe an integral distinguisher over 2 rounds of Safer++. It allows a practical attack against 3 rounds of Safer++128, as well as attacks on 4 rounds of Safer++128 and Safer++256, under the chosen-plaintext hypothesis. These results achieve much lower
complexity than the currently known best attacks on Safer++, namely
weak-key linear cryptanalysis by Nakahara. As a side result, we prove that the byte-branch number of the linear transform of Safer++ is 5.
We also discuss a way for further research in order to extend integral
cryptanalysis.
