In this paper, we first prove beyond-birthyday-bound security for the Misty structure. Specifically, we show that an $r$-round Misty structure is secure against CCA attacks up to $O(2^{\\frac{rn}{r+7}})$ query complexity, where $n$ is the size of each round permutation. So for any $\\epsilon>0$, a sufficient number of rounds would guarantee the security of the Misty structure up to $2^{n(1-\\epsilon)}$ query complexity.
