Guidelines

An important attack on block ciphers is the so-called slide attack. The
topic of this thesis is a study on the recent paper [1], which introduces
a method for the adaptation of slide attacks to SPN structure. The thesis
should explain the main ideas of generic slide attacks as well as selected
novel attacks in [1] (such as the use of "hypercubes").
