Another Look at Differential-Linear Attacks

ePrint Report: Another Look at Differential-Linear Attacks

Orr Dunkelman, Ariel Weizman

Differential-Linear (DL) cryptanalysis is a well known cryptanalytic technique that combines differential and linear cryptanalysis. Over the years, multiple techniques were proposed to increase its strength and applicability. Two relatively recent ones are: The partitioning technique by Leurent and the use of neutral bits adapted by Beierle et al. to DL cryptanalysis.


In this paper we compare these techniques and discuss the possibility of using them together to achieve …
