Differential cryptanalysis with SAT, SMT, MILP, and CP: a detailed comparison for bit-oriented primitives
Abstract
SAT, SMT, MILP, and CP, have become prominent in the differential cryptanalysis of cryptographic primitives. In this paper, we review the techniques for constructing differential characteristic search models in these four formalisms. Additionally, we perform a systematic comparison encompassing over 20 cryptographic primitives and 16 solvers, on both easy and hard instances of optimisation, enumeration and differential probability estimation problems.
