Generating and Exploring S-Box Multivariate Quadratic Equation Systems with SageMathA. -M. Leventi-Peetz, J. -V. Peetz
A new method to derive Multivariate Quadratic equation systems (MQ) for the input and output bit variables of a cryptographic S-box from its algebraic expressions with the aid of the computer mathematics software system SageMath is presented. We consolidate the deficiency of previously presented MQ metrics, supposed to quantify the resistance of S-boxes against algebraic attacks.
