Abstract

We analyze the X2 cryptanalysis, one of the most successful cryptanalysis technique against the RC6 algorithm. We apply this type of cryptanalysis as distinction cryptanalysis as well as key-recovery crypt-analysis. We present a modified version of RC6 by introducing a very simple data-dependent swapping function in its structure. The conclusions inferred by statistical experiments is that this modified version is stronger against the X2 cryptanalysis technique.
