Non-Asymptotic 𝑡-Wise Independence of Substitution-Permutation Networks
… that this ideal AES is pairwise independent in 5 rounds. As a corollary, we show how to simulate the ideal AES variant using the true AES, after silencing parts of some AES rounds. We call the resulting construction censored AES and we prove that it is pairwise independent in 92 rounds. Since this …
