Correlation distribution analysis of a two-round key-alternating block cipher
Liliya Kraleva, Nikolai L. Manev, and Vincent Rijmen
Abstract
In this paper we study two-round key-alternating block ciphers with round function $f(x)=x^{(2^t+1)2^s},$ where $t,s$ are positive integers. An algorithm to compute the distribution weight with respect to input and output masks is described. In the case $t=1$ the correlation distributions in dependence on input and output masks are completely determined for arbitrary pairs of masks. We investigate with more details the case $f(x)=x^3$ and fully derive and classify the distributions, proving that there are only 5 possible values for the correlation for any pair of masks.
