SHACAL-2 is a 256-bit block cipher with up to 512 bits of key length based on the hash function SHA-2. It was submitted to the the NESSIE project and was recommended as one of the NESSIE selections. In this paper, we present two types of related-key attacks called the related-key differential-(non)linear and the related-key rectangle attacks, and we discuss the security of SHACAL-2 against these two types of attacks. Using the related-key differential-nonlinear attack, we can break SHACAL-2 with 512-bit keys up to 35 out of its 64 rounds, and using the related-key rectangle attack, we can break SHACAL-2 with 512-bit keys up to 37 rounds.

In this paper we improve previous related-key rectangle attacks on AES from 9 rounds to 10 rounds: Our attacks break the first 10 rounds of 12-round AES-192 with 256 related keys, a data complexity of $2^{124}$ and a time complexity of $2^{183}$, and also break the first 10 rounds of 12-round AES-192 with 64 related keys, a data complexity of $2^{122}$ and a time complexity of $2^{183.6}$, Our attacks are the best knoown attacks on AES-192.

The rectangle attack and the related-key attack on block ciphers are well-known to be very powerful. In this paper we combine the rectangle attack with the related-key attack. Using this combined attack we can attack the SHACAL-1 cipher with 512-bit keys up to 59 out of its 80 rounds. Our 59-round attack requires a data complexity of $2^{149.72}$ chosen plaintexts and a time complexity of $2^{498.30}$ encryptions, which is faster than exhaustive search.
