Narrow-Bicliques - Cryptanalysis of Full IDEA

Explore the cryptanalysis of the IDEA cipher in this 22-minute conference talk from Eurocrypt 2012. Delve into meet-in-the-middle attacks on symmetric primitives and learn about the innovative biclique approach. Examine the IDEA round structure and how narrow bicliques can be applied to analyze the full IDEA cipher. Discover key results that minimize time complexity, and gain insights into open problems in the field. Presented by Dmitry Khovratovich, Gaëtan Leurent, and Christian Rechberger, this talk provides a comprehensive overview of advanced cryptanalytic techniques and their application to a widely-used block cipher.
