SHARK
Encyclopedia : S : SH : SHA : SHARK
In cryptography, SHARK is a block cipher identified as one of the predecessors of Rijndael (the Advanced Encryption Standard).
SHARK has a 64-bit block size and a 128-bit key size. It is a six round SP-network which alternates a key mixing stage with linear and non-linear transformation layers. The linear transformation is derived from an error correcting code (a Reed-Solomon code) in order to guarantee good diffusion. The nonlinear layer is composed of eight 8-bit S-boxes based on the function F(x) = x-1 over GF(28).
Five rounds of a modified version of SHARK can be broken using an interpolation attack (Jakobsen and Knudsen, 1997).
