FEAL Linear Cryptanalysis

关于

This skill provides a structured methodology for performing linear cryptanalysis on FEAL (Fast Data Encipherment Algorithm) and other Feistel-based block ciphers. It guides users through critical pre-implementation analysis, including key space feasibility checks and cipher structure mapping, to determine when linear attacks are more effective than brute-force methods. By leveraging the Piling-up lemma and statistical validation techniques, the skill helps identify exploitable linear biases in non-linear components like G-functions to efficiently recover key bits from known plaintext-ciphertext pairs.
