Analysis of CRYPTEC project cryptographic algorithms
####################################################

CRYPTREC is the Cryptography Research and Evaluation Committees set up by the Japanese Government to evaluate and recommend cryptographic techniques for government and industrial use. It is comparable in many respects to the European Union's NESSIE project and to the Advanced Encryption Standard process run by NIST in the U.S.. In this chapter, certain cryptographic algorithms from CRYPTEC project candidates are analysed.

Below you can find a legend describing the cryptographic criteria used in this chapter: 

+----------------+--------------------------+
| **NL**         | Nonlinearity             |
+----------------+--------------------------+
| **NL2**        | 2-nd order nonlinearity  |
+----------------+--------------------------+
| **LD**         | Linearity distance       |
+----------------+--------------------------+
| **DEG**        | Algebraic degree         |
+----------------+--------------------------+
| **AI**         | Algebraic immunity       |
+----------------+--------------------------+
| **MAXAC**      | Absolute indicator       |
+----------------+--------------------------+
| :math:`\sigma` | Sum-of-squares indicator |
+----------------+--------------------------+
| **LP**         | Linear potential         |
+----------------+--------------------------+
| **DP**         | Differential Potential   |
