Links Between Differential and Linear Cryptanalysis by Florent Chabaud and Serge Vaudenay investigates the theoretical relationship between two major cryptanalytic techniques: differential cryptanalysis and linear cryptanalysis. Differential cryptanalysis studies how differences in plaintext inputs affect the resulting differences in ciphertext outputs, while linear cryptanalysis analyzes linear approximations between plaintext, ciphertext, and key bits. The paper explores how these two methods are related and demonstrates that certain cryptographic functions resistant to linear cryptanalysis often show resistance to differential cryptanalysis as well. In particular, the authors prove that functions with strong linear resistance—often associated with Bent function properties—also exhibit perfect nonlinear characteristics, which make them highly resistant to differential attacks.
