Indifferentiability
摘要
Indifferentiability is a stronger notion than indistinguishability which considers the case where the adversary has oracle access to the inner round functions. It allows to rigorously formalize the fact that a block cipher “behaves” as an ideal cipher. It is known that at least six rounds of balanced Feistel ciphers are necessary to achieve this security notion. Currently, the lowest number of rounds known to be sufficient to achieve the notion is eight.
