Abstract

In this chapter we will be looking at several issues in depth. First we will return to differential and linear cryptanalysis. In Chaps. 6 and 7 our descriptions were driven by example but there are more formal foundations to these topics. So in this chapter we will provide pointers to these foundations and other work in the area. We will also use this chapter to emphasize links between analysis and design and we illustrate how block cipher design has advanced over the years, often in response to increasingly sophisticated attacks.
