AES confusion/diffusion analysis -- 3

AES confusion/diffusion analysis
•
Implementation of
AES 128
•
Analysis of Confusion and Diffusion at each round.
•
Confusion and Diffusion analysis must be performed by flipping 1 bit of the
key (for confusion) or 1 bit of the plaintext (for diffusion) and counting the
number of flipped bits in the ciphertext.
•
The procedure must be repeated many times (Monte Carlo Simulations
MCS) to allow the visualization of the distribution of the number of flipped
bits in the ciphertext.
•
Discussion
of how confusion and diffusion evolves throughout the AES
