| Abstract: | ARIA is a 128‐bit block cipher that has been selected as a Korean encryption standard. Similar to AES, it is robust against differential cryptanalysis and linear cryptanalysis. In this study, we analyze the security of ARIA against differential‐linear cryptanalysis. We present five rounds of differential‐linear distinguishers for ARIA, which can distinguish five rounds of ARIA from random permutations using only 284.8 chosen plaintexts. Moreover, we develop differential‐linear attacks based on six rounds of ARIA‐128 and seven rounds of ARIA‐256. This is the first multidimensional differential‐linear cryptanalysis of ARIA and it has lower data complexity than all previous results. This is a preliminary study and further research may obtain better results in the future. |
