Abstract
In this paper, we have proposed two block cipher structures which can be considered as variants of SP-network and Generalized Feistel structure respectively. Our main idea is to improve the diffusion effect when mixing all the sub-blocks together in each round. We also show that compared with the original structures, our structures have several important advantages. Then we evaluate the security of our structures against main attacks by estimating the upper bounds for differential and linear probabilities, and also the maximum number of rounds for impossible differential. In the end, we present two example ciphers which are based on the structures proposed, and we also adopt several novel and state-of-the-art design techniques. Then by explaining the design rationales and evaluating the security of the example ciphers under main attack settings, we can conclude that both of our ciphers can achieve enough immunity against known attacks and also have high performances.
