Related-key Attack on 5-Round Kuznyechik

Vitaly Kiryukhin

Abstract: The first related-key attack on 3-round (of 9) Kuznyechik with 2-round (of 8) key schedule was presented in CTCrypt'18. This article describes a related-key attack on 5-round cipher with the same key schedule. The presented one also has a practical complexity ($2^{32}$ operations, $2^{30}$ memory, $2^{16}$ related keys) and verified in practice. We obtained result due to the simultaneous use of the integral properties of the cipher transformations and the key schedule.
