Slide Magma cipher analysis: developing algorithms for searching the encryption key and their time evaluation

In this graduation work there were developed, software-implemented and tested out parallel algorithms of searching slide pairs of texts for Magma cipher in the case of periodically repeated round subkeys. Cases of self-similarity in one, two or four encryption cycles are examined. As a part of the study extensive experimental data based on the method of slide attack were obtained. These data show the interaction between computing speed in slide pairs of texts, cipher key and the number of computation nodes and cipher characteristics.
