Title :
On the statistics of imbalance
Author :
Massey, James L.
Abstract :
The second moment and the expected value of the empirical imbalance of a balanced random variable, which are the statistics needed to determine whether a particular input/output sum is useful for an attack by linear cryptanalysis on an iterated cipher, are determined for many independent trials
