Abstract

We use Grover's algorithm for differential cryptanalysis, one of the classic cryptographic attacks. To use Grover's algorithm, we implement an oracle to find plaintext that satisfies the differential characteristic. Finally, we estimate the quantum resources required for differential cryptanalysis.

Description

Grover's algorithm is a quantum algorithm that uses superposition and entanglement of qubits to quickly find unsorted data. This project implements an oracle that attacks block ciphers. The target cipher will be decided by discussion.
