Improving Integral Cryptanalysis against Rijndael with Large Blocks

Cryptography and Security 2009-10-13 v1

Abstract

This report presents new four-round integral properties against the Rijndael cipher with block sizes larger than 128 bits. Using higher-order multiset distinguishers and other well-known extensions of those properties, the deduced attacks reach up to 7 and 8 rounds of Rijndael variants with 160 up to 256-bit blocks. For example, a 7-rounds attack against Rijndael-224 has a time complexity equal to 2802^{80}.
