Abstract
In this paper, we introduce improved differential and linear attacks on the SMS4 block cipher which is used in the Chinese national standard WAPI (WLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure, WLAN - Wireless Local Area Network): First, we introduce how to extend previously known differential attacks on SMS4 from 20 or 21 to 22 out of the full 32 rounds. Second, we improve a previously known linear attack on 22-round reduced SMS4 from $2^{119}$ known plaintexts, $2^{109}$ memory bytes, $2^{117}$ encryptions to $2^{117}$ known plaintexts, $2^{l09}$ memory bytes, $2^{112.24}$ encryptions, by using a new linear approximation.
