Abstract(in English) In this paper, we describe an experimental result of safety against differential and linear cryptanalysis of CIPHERUNICORN-A. Because of the complex structure, it is difficult to calculate the probability of differential and linear characteristics of CIPHERUNICORN-A. We used an mF function in our previous evaluation in order to be able to do the approximate calculation in short term. But, by using the mF function, the approximation of the constant multiplication did not have enough coverage with its possible influential bits relations in differential and linear cryptanalysis. The mF function has two changes from original F function. One is key additions and the other is constant multiplications modified to exclusive OR operations. In this paper, we used a newly defined the mF' function which omitted the change of constant multiplications, searched exhaustively byte-oriented differential and linear influential paths and investigated more strict differential and linear characteristic probabilities.
