Abstract
So-called differential cryptanalysis belongs to the class of chosen-plaintext attacks and was invented by Biham and Shamir (1991). It is a method of cryptanalysis for block ciphers (in contrast to stream ciphers). (In order to avoid misunderstandings from the beginning, note that the term “differential” is used because differences of elements of a commutative group G will be compared and it has nothing to do with calculus!) Let us describe the setting in detail.
