Abstract(in English) Midori64 proposed by Banik et al. in 2015 is an SPN-type block cipher with 128-bit secret key. The designers have evaluated the security of Midori64 against differential attack, linear attack, boomerang-type attack, impossible differential attacks, meet-in-the-middle attack by theirself. Higher-order differential attack proposed by Lai is one of the generic cryptanalysis technique focused on degree of boolean polynomial of encryption function. As a Result, we show the 12nd-order differential attack on the 10-round variants of Midori64 where we exploit partial-sum technique proposed by Ferguson and the first-round key assumption called a round-elimination technique. Original Midori64 consists of 16-round functions, therefore its security against this attack.
