New method to describe the differential distribution table for large S-boxes in MILP and its application
2019
Based on the method of the H-representation of the convex hull, the linear inequalities of all possible differential patterns of 4-bit S-boxes in the mix integer linear programming (MILP) model can be generated easily by the SAGE software. Whereas this method cannot be apply to 8-bit S-boxes. In this study, the authors propose a new method to obtain the inequalities for large S-boxes with the coefficients belonging to integer. The relationship between the coefficients of the inequalities and the corresponding excluded impossible differential patterns is obtained. As a result, the number of inequalities can be lower than 4000 for the AES S-box. Then, the new method for finding the best probability of the differential characteristics of 4–15 rounds SM4 in the single-key setting is presented. Especially, the authors found that the 15-round SM4 exists four differential characteristics with 12 active S-boxes. The exact lower bound of the number of differentially active S-boxes of the 16-round SM4 is 15. The authors also found eight differential characteristics of the 19-round SM4 with the probability 2 − 124 .
