In this document, we outline how to launch integral attacks against bit-based block ciphers. This new type of integral attack traces the propagation of the plaintext structure at bit-level by incorporating bit-pattern based notations. The new notation gives the attacker more details about the properties of a structure of cipher blocks. The main difference from ordinary integral attacks is that we look at the pattern the bits in a specific position in the cipher block has through the structure. The bit-pattern based integral attack is applied to Noekeon, Serpent and present reduced up to 5, 6 and 7 rounds, respectively. This includes the first attacks on Noekeon and present using integral cryptanalysis. All attacks manage to recover the full subkey of the final round.}, year = {2008}, journal = {Fast Software Encryption, FSE 2008}, volume = {5086}, pages = {363-381}, month = {02/2008}, publisher = {Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Springer Verlag}, issn = {0302-9743}, isbn = {978-3-540-71038-7}, url = {http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-540-71039-4_23}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-540-71039-4_23}, }
