Abstract EN
Generalized Feistel structures are widely used in the design of block ciphers.
In this paper, we focused on retrieving impossible differentials for two kinds of generalized Feistel structures: CAST256-like structure with Substitution-Permutation (SP) or Substitution-Permutation-Substitution (SPS) round functions (named CAST256SP and CAST256SPS, respectively) and MARS-like structure with SP/SPS round function (named MARSSP and MARSSPS, respectively).
Known results show that for bijective round function, CAST256-like structures and MARS-like structures have (m2−1) and (2m−1) rounds impossible differentials, respectively.
By our observation, there existed (m2+m) rounds impossible differentials in CAST256SP and (3m−3) rounds impossible differentials in MARSSPS (this result does not require the P layer to be invertible).
When the diffusion layer satisfied some special conditions, CAST256SPS had (m2+m−1) rounds impossible differentials and MARSSPS had (3m−3) rounds impossible differentials.
