This project implements python module for automatic cryptanalysis of Substitution Permutation Network ciphers by performing extensive linear and differential characteristic search and finding keybits
The project is structured as follows:
- The 
cryptanalysisdirectory contains the main Python module for cryptanalysis. - The 
testsdirectory contains unit tests for the module - The 
examplesdirectory contains examples for using the module - The 
docsdirectory contains html documentation autogenerated from code doc-strings 
The project can be installed directly from pip
pip install cryptanalysisOtherwise clone and install is also viable
git clone https://github.com/deut-erium/auto-cryptanalysis.git
cd auto-cryptanalysis
pip install .This project requires Python3.6+ and the following Python packages:
- z3-solver
 - tqdm
 
Requirements are auto installed as a part of the installation process but
You can also install these packages using pip:
pip install -r requirements.txtimport random
import cryptanalysis
sbox_size = 6 # bits
pbox_size = sbox_size * 16 # 16 sboxes
num_rounds = 4
sbox = list(range(2**sbox_size))
pbox = list(range(pbox_size))
# random pbox and sbox
random.shuffle(sbox)
random.shuffle(pbox)
random_key = random.randint(0, (2**pbox_size) - 1)
# random spn instance whose key is unknown to us
spn = cryptanalysis.SPN(sbox, pbox, random_key, num_rounds)
d_c = cryptanalysis.differential_cryptanalysis.DifferentialCryptanalysis(sbox, pbox, num_rounds+1)
# override batch_encrypt with the oracle
max_num_encryptions = 50000
def batch_encrypt(plaintexts):
    return [spn.encrypt(i) for i in plaintexts]
d_c.batch_encrypt = batch_encrypt
differential_characteristics = d_c.characteristic_searcher.search_exclusive_masks()
last_round_key_blocks = d_c.find_last_roundkey(differential_characteristics, max_num_encryptions//16)
print("recovered last round key:",last_round_key_blocks)
print("original last round key:",d_c.int_to_list(spn.round_keys[-1]))You can run the tests using the following command:
python -m unittest discoverRead the documentation
