Abstract

In this paper the results obtained from Linear Cryptanalysis attack developed by Matsui has been analyzed in a different perspective and inferences were drawn accordingly[2]. Here, a simple toy cipher has been put to Linear Cryptanalysis attack in order to understand the attack from a different perspective. The results thus obtained may become a guide towards designing block ciphers that can withstand Linear Cryptanalysis attacks.
