Abstract

In 1991 Lai, Massey and Murphy introduced the IPES (Improved Proposed Encryption Standard), later renamed IDEA (International Data Encryption Algorithm). In this paper we give two new attacks on a reduced number of rounds of IDEA. A truncated differential attack on IDEA reduced to 3.5 rounds and a differential-linear attack on IDEA reduced to 3 rounds. The truncated differential attack contains a novel method for determining the secret key.
