On Impossible Boomerang Attacks
IACR Transactions on Symmetric CryptologyThe impossible boomerang attack, introduced in 2008 by Jiqiang Lu, is an extension of the impossible differential attack that relies on a boomerang distinguisher of probability 0 for discarding incorrect key guesses.

Optimizing key recovery in impossible cryptanalysis and its automated tool [PDF]
Designs, Codes and CryptographyImpossible differential (ID) cryptanalysis and impossible boomerang (IB) cryptanalysis are two methods of impossible cryptanalysis against block ciphers. Since the seminal work introduced by Boura et al.

Secret Can Be Public: Low-Memory AEAD Mode for High-Order Masking [PDF]
, 2022 We propose a new AEAD mode of operation for an efficient countermeasure against side-channel attacks. Our mode achieves the smallest memory with high-order masking, by minimizing the states that are duplicated in masking.

Finding the Impossible: Automated Search for Full Impossible-Differential, Zero-Correlation, and Integral Attacks [PDF]
, 2023 Impossible differential (ID), zero-correlation (ZC), and integral attacks are a family of important attacks on block ciphers. For example, the impossible differential attack was the first cryptanalytic attack on 7 rounds of AES.

A Note on the use of the Double Boomerang Connectivity Table (DBCT) for Spotting Impossibilities [PDF]
In this short note we examine one of the impossible boomerang distinguishers of Skinny-128-384 provided by Zhang, Wang and Tang at ToSC 2024 Issue 2 and disprove it.

Pre-sieve, Partial-guess, and Accurate estimation: Full-round Related-key Impossible Boomerang Attack on ARADI [PDF]
The impossible boomerang attack is a very powerful attack, and the existing results show that it is more effective than the impossible differential attack in the related-key scenario.

A Holistic Framework for Impossible Boomerang Attacks [PDF]
In 2011, Lu introduced the impossible boomerang attack at DCC. This powerful cryptanalysis technique combines the strengths of the impossible differential and boomerang attacks, thereby inheriting the advantages of both cryptographic techniques.

Impossible Boomerang Attacks Revisited: Applications to Deoxys-BC, Joltik-BC and SKINNY [PDF]
The impossible boomerang (IB) attack was first introduced by Lu in his doctoral thesis and subsequently published at DCC in 2011. The IB attack is a variant of the impossible differential (ID) attack by incorporating the idea of the boomerang attack.
