Abstract: | The work contains a statistical investigation of the MARS block cipher --- one of the AES finalists. It is shown that 8 MARS round ciphertext can be recognized from a uniform distribution with the help of the ``Book Stack"\, test providing that $2^{18}$ blocks of plaintexts and $2^{20}$ bytes of memory are avaliable. The previous published attacks on this cipher were only theoretical with unrealistic resource requirements. |
