Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We study a cryptanalysis of the block cipher SERPENT, that is one of the AES candidates, by using the higher order differential. The proposer of SERPENT claimed that degrees of the Boolean polynomial representations with 4 variables of all S-boxes are 3. In this paper, we generate the Boolean polynomial representation of each output bit of all S-boxes, and show there are 6 polynomials with degree less than 3 in 32 polynomials. Moreover, we derive higher order differences of the round functions of SERPENT which make a constant after applying the 1st order 2nd order differential, and propose the attacking algorithm of 4 round SERPENT by using these higher order difference.
