Abstract-Unified Impossible Differential (UID) cryptanalysis is a systematic method to find impossible differentials for block ciphers and there are large amount of cryptanalysis results coming out by using it. ARIA is a Korean block cipher expecting no impossible differential chains on four or more rounds. In this paper, we apply UID to ARIA and 89136 four rounds impossible differential chains are found. With the optimization of the conflict searching algorithms, UID gets better results compared with former cryptanalysis results. Moreover, we conclude that no impossible differential chains with number of rounds larger than four can be found by the UID method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
