Decomposition attack on SASASASAS

Alex Biryukov and Dmitry Khovratovich

Abstract

We demonstrate the first attacks on the SPN ciphers with 6, 7, 8, and 9 secret layers. In particular, we show a decomposition attack on the SASASASAS scheme when the S-box size M and the block length N satisfy the condition M^2 < N (for example, 8-bit S-box and 128-bit block).
