Abstract
COSB-128 is a type of fast controllable permutation block (CPB), which is designed to ensure a high speed of data transformation and high stability to differential analysis. In this paper, we present the possibility to distinguish between a 10-round COSB-128 and a 128-bit random permutation through a full 10-round related-key difference characteristic by proposing a distinguishing attack with high probability on this cipher. This attack is another result from previous study of related-key attack on COSB-128 [2]. From that point, it reveals the potential to extend to the related-key recovery attack on this algorithm in the future.
