Abstract
At the beginning of the paper we give an overview of the linear and differential cryptanalysis of block ciphers. We describe two extensions of linear cryptanalysis (analysis with multiple expressions [7] and differentiallinear cryptanalysis [10] which form the basis of the conducted experiments. Then we describe the functioning of truncated differentials [1,8] and the usage of differential structures [1,2,3].
In the second part of the article we present experimental results of implementation of the differential-linear cryptanalysis with multiple expressions applied to reduced DES variants. In an attack on DES reduced to 8 rounds we obtained a significant reduction in the number of needed chosen pairs of texts — reduction by a factor greater than 4.
