Abstract(in English) This paper studies the upper bounds of the maximum differential/linear characteristic probabilities of Feistel ciphers with SPN round function. In the same way as SPN ciphers, we consider the minimum number of differentially/linearly active s-boxes, which are proportion to the upper bounds of these probabilities, in order to evaluate the security against differential/linear attacks. The purpose of this work is to clarify the minimum numbers of active s-boxes in some consecutive rounds of Feistel ciphers, i.e., in three, four, six, eight, and twelve consecutive rounds, using differential/linear branch numbers β_d, β_l. As a result, we clarified that the minimum number of differentially (resp. linearly) active s-boxes are 2, β_d(β_l), β_d+2(β_l+2), 2β_d+1(2β_l+1), and 3β_d+1(3β_l+1), respectively.
