Junod P., Canteaut A. (eds.) Advanced Linear Cryptanalysis of Block and Stream Ciphers

Издательство IOS Press, 2011, -139 pp.Linear cryptanalysis, whose original ideas can be traced back to the seminal works of Anne Tardy-Corfdir and Henri Gilbert, A Known Plaintext Attack of FEAL-4 and FEAL-6, presented at Crypto’91, as well as the now classical paper of Eurocrypt’ 93 by Mitsuru Matsui, Linear Cryptanalyis of DES Cipher, has quickly demonstrated to be one of the most efficient ways to break symmetrical cryptographic primitives.
Since its invention in the early 90s, several theoretical and practical aspects of this technique have been well studied, understood and generalized, resulting on the one hand in much more elaborated attacks against certain ciphers and on the other hand, in some negative results regarding the potential of various attempts of generalization.
We believe that the field is now sufficiently mature to take a snapshot of its current state and look at future potential developments. This volume aims at giving a recent state-of-the-art in the discipline, and to expose its latest developments.Experimenting Linear Cryptanalysis
