Wu’s algorithm and its possible application in cryptanalysis. African Journal of Mathematics and Computer Science Research, vol. 5(1), pp 1-82006-9731http://www.academicjournals.org/ajmcsr/PDF/pdf2012/Jan/Grobler%20et%20al.pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10204/5919Copyright: 2012 Academic Journals.

This study reveals that when Wu’s algorithm is used for cryptanalysis it simplifies. This is true because Wu’s algorithm has to be applied to binary polynomials only, when used for cryptanalysis. To summarize, we gave a full description of Wu’s algorithm in the binary case and also a basic example of using binary Wu to break an s-box.enWu’s algorithmWu-Ritt decomposition algorithmS-boxBinary polynomialsCryptanalysisArticleGrobler, T., Van Zyl, A., Olivier, J., Kleynhans, W., Salmon, B., & Penzhorn, W.
