In cryptography, higher-order differential cryptanalysis is a generalization of differential cryptanalysis, an attack against block ciphers. Developed in 1994 by Lars Knudsen, the technique has been applied to a number of ciphers. It simplifies differential cryptanalysis by considering differences that are only partially determined.
