// ******************************************************************************** This is the repository for the verification of cube distinguishers as given in Section 7 of our paper "Misuse-Free Key-Recovery and Distinguishing Attacks on 7-Round Ascon" accepted at IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology (ToSC) Volume 2021, Issue I. Contents: -- C code (taken from https://ascon.iaik.tugraz.at/resources.html) for verification of distinguishers -- Ascon Sage code -- Division property models containing: 1) Ascon Sbox modeling 2) Ascon r-round model to compute the degree upper bound when N_0 = N_1 -- Individual readme files are given in the corresponding folders // *******************************************************************************
