The Exchange Attack and the Mixture Differential Attack Revisited:From the Perspective of Automatic Evaluation

扫码查看
Recent results show that the differential properties within quadruples boom as a new inspiration in cryptanalysis of Advanced Encryption Standard(AES)-like constructions.These methods include the exchange at-tack proposed in Asiacrypt'19,the mixture differential attack proposed in ToSC'18,etc.,where the essential proper-ties are obtained by manually scrutinizing the structures of the AES-like constructions.This paper presents a novel framework and an automatic tool based on mixed integer linear programming to search for mixture differential dis-tinguishers for general constructions.This framework considers what equality patterns among quadruples can make a distinguisher and traces how the patterns propagate through cipher components with accurate probability estimation.With this tool,a 5-round AES distinguishing attack with lower complexity and more 6-round distinguishing attacks in the chosen plaintext scenarios are deduced.We prove that no exchange-type or mixture differential distinguisher exists for 7 and above rounds AES if the details of the Sbox and MixColumns matrix are not taken into account.
