We show that S-boxes based on finite field inversion always possess complete linear redundancy. Next, we consider the influence of linear redundancy of S-boxes on the affine equivalence of component functions within XSL-like round functions in the general case. Then, we propose an effective practical approach to test this. Finally, some experimental results on the round functions within the Kuznyechik and AES are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
