Abstract

CLEFIA is a new block cipher proposed by SONY corporation recently. The fundamental structure of CLEFIA is a generalized Feistel structure consisting of 4 data lines. Convenient for cryptanalysis, we rewrite the cipher in traditional Feistel structure consisting of 2 data lines. We proposed a new 9-round impossible differential. By using the 9 round impossible differential, we presented an idea on the analysis of 14-round CLEFIA-128 without whitening layers.
