Abstract(in English) This paper presents experimental results to estimate the security of FEAL-8 against Linear Cryptanalysis.The following points are important in Linear Cryptanalysis to reduce the processing amount and the memory size for the attack:1)the deviation rate of the linear expression,and 2)the number of effective key bits and effective text bits.We have found 7-round linear expressions with the deviation rate of 1.149 x 2^-8> which is larger than that of Biham′s which is 2^-11>,and have reduced t he number of effective bits for WS feasible implementation by careful observation.We have confirmed that the entire subkeys used in FEAL-8 can be derived from 2^25> known plaintexts with a success rate over 70%,and from 2^26> known plaintexts with a success rate about 100%.Both attacks take about 1 hour using a WS(SPARCstation 10 Model 30).
