Abstract

This paper introduces {\em truncated inner cc-differential cryptanalysis}, a novel technique that for the first time enables the practical application of cc-differential uniformity to block ciphers. While Ellingsen et al. (IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, 2020) established the notion of cc-differential uniformity using (F(xa),cF(x))(F(x\oplus a), cF(x)), a key challenge remained: multiplication by cc disrupts the structural properties essential for block cipher analysis, particularly key addition.
