Abstract
Abstract Block cipher plays an important role in the domain of information security. CLEFIA is a 128-bit block cipher proposed by SONY Corporation in FSE 2007. Using the previous 9-round impossible differentials, the redundancy in the key schedule and the early-abort technique, we present the first successful impossible differential cryptanalysis of 13-round CLEFIA-128 in this paper. The data and time complexities of the attack with the whitening layers are 2 119.4 and 2 125.52, respectively. And for the attack without the whitening layers, more relationships among the subkeys can be used, thus the data and time complexities are reduced to 2 111.3 and 2 117.5, respectively. As far as we know, the presented results are the best compared with the previously published cryptanalytic results on reduced-round CLEFIA-128.
