Abstract(in English) Among cryptographic techniques, Salsa20, a stream cipher, is the predecessor of ChaCha20, which was selected for TLS 1.3, and its security analysis is an important issue. In Salsa20, vulnerabilities are analyzed by Differential Analysis using the bias of specific input and output differences. In this study, we focus on the input/output difference of Salsa20 and experimentally find a new linear bias for multiple input and output difference. In addition, we theoretically analyze the occurrence probability of the new linear biases that we discovered, as well as some of the linear biases that had been discovered in existing studies. This will contribute to the construction of more secure cryptography by clarifying the structure of stream ciphers that lead to vulnerabilities.
