DOI: 10.1002/sec.1606 RESEARCH ARTICLE Algebraic techniques on searching linear diffusion layers in block cipher ABSTRACT Maximum branch number permutation plays an efficacious role in providing resistance against the most well-known attacks on block ciphers, such as differential cryptanalysis and linear cryptanalysis. In this paper, we propose algebraic techniques in searching permutations with maximal branch number, which can be employed as the linear
