Symmetric-key Encryption
 
MISTY’s structure is based on two elements.


Revision of the F-function
(layer function)position
The location of MISTY’s F-function differs from the F-function location applied in DES-like cryptosystems. This revised location results in increased strength against differential and linear cryptanalysis attacks and enables parallel computation of the round function.



Implementation of recursive structure
By, moreover, implementing a recursive structure, the size of the inner F-function has been reduced and the parallel computation of the round function across two or more rounds has been made possible.
