cryptography , SHARK is ablock cipher identified as one of the predecessors ofRijndael (theAdvanced Encryption Standard ).SHARK has a 64-bit block size and a 128-bit
key size . It is a six round SP-network which alternates a key mixing stage with linear and non-linear transformation layers. The linear transformation uses anMDS matrix representing aReed-Solomon error correcting code in order to guarantee good diffusion. The nonlinear layer is composed of eight 8×8-bitS-box es based on the function "F(x) = x-1" over "GF(28)".Five rounds of a modified version of SHARK can be broken using an
interpolation attack (Jakobsen and Knudsen, 1997).ee also
