About Method “Meet in Middle of Attack” for Cryptanalysis of Block Ciphers by means of Distributed Computations

Abstract

Distributed computations are considered as a tool of cryptanalysis. It is shown that time of implementation of “meet in the middle of attack” method using distributed computations designed for cryptanalysis of some class of iterative symmetric block ciphers can be reduced in multiple times compared to single CPU computational system.
