Differential cryptanalysis Differential cryptanalysis exploits the high probability of certain occurrences of plaintext differences and differences into the last round of the cipher Differential cryptanalysis is a chosen plaintext attack, meaning that the attacker is able to select inputs and examine outputs in an attempt to derive the keyDifferential Cryptanalysis • Differential cryptanalysis exploits the high probability of certain occurrences of plaintext differences and differences into the last round of the cipher. • Differential cryptanalysis is a chosen plaintext attack, meaning that the attacker is able to select inputs and examine outputs in an attempt to derive the key
