In this paper, we revisit the use of differential cryptanalysis on BORON in the single-key model. Using an SAT/SMT approach, we look for differentials that consist of multiple differential characteristics with the same input and output differences. Each characteristic that conforms to a given differential improves its overall probability. We also implemented the same search using Matsui's algorithm for verification and performance comparison purposes. We identified high-probability differentials which were then used in key recovery attacks against BORON-80/128. We used 8-round differentials with a probability of 2?58.16 and 2?62.42 in key recovery attacks against 9 and 10 rounds of BORON-80 and BORON-128 with time/data/memory complexities of 259.18/259.16/224 and 2111.34/263.42/271 respectively. Our key recovery framework provides a more accurate estimate of the attack complexity as compared to previous work. The attacks proposed in this paper are the best differential attacks against BORON-80/128 in the single-key model to date. � 2022 Elsevier Ltd Final 2023-05-29T09:37:39Z 2023-05-29T09:37:39Z 2022 Article 10.1016/j.jisa.2022.103129 2-s2.0-85125237892 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85125237892&doi=10.1016%2fj.jisa.2022.103129&partnerID=40&md5=d7b1d0a629997cd62b74b8ee4f91ad5a https://irepository.uniten.edu.my/handle/123456789/26899 66 103129 Elsevier Ltd Scopus
