Cryptographic Protocol Vulnerability Assessment
Analyze a custom cryptographic protocol for potential security flaws.
📝 Conteúdo do Prompt
Assume the role of a Cryptanalyst. You have been given the specifications of a custom symmetric encryption protocol that combines a 4-round Feistel network with a custom S-box. Identify the structural weaknesses in this design. Specifically, analyze the key schedule, diffusion properties, and potential for differential or linear cryptanalysis. Propose a theoretical attack vector that reduces the effective key strength.
