Abstract
In this paper, we propose a systematic search method for finding the impossible differential characteristic for block cipher structures, better than the U-method introduced by Kim et al [6]. This method is referred as unified impossible differential (UID) cryptanalysis. We give practical UID cryptanalysis on some popular block ciphers and give the detailed impossible differential characteristics. On the generalized CAST-256 and generalized MARS block cipher structure, our results are better than the U-method. On the Four-Cell, FOX64, our results are the same as previous best manual works. Thus UID method can be used as a tool for examining the security of a block cipher structure against impossible differential cryptanalysis. 1
