Abstract
In this paper we reviewed Wu’s algorithm and introduced it as a cryptanalysis technique. 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.
