Abstract:
In this thesis, based on the model introduced in [Murphy et. al., Likelihood Estimation for Block Cipher Keys, 1995], we discuss the possibility of unifying the cryptanalysis methods. First, the model for cryptanalysis is discussed and explained by modelling several known statistical attack. In the end, using this model, we propose attacks more general than linear and differential methods
