CLEFIA is a block cipher proposed in FSE (Fast Software Encryption) 2007 by SONY Corporation.Some 5-round distinguishers of CLEFIA are presented according to study an equivalent structure of CLEFIA.Based on the 5-round distinguishers
some meet-in-the-middle attacks can be made on 6/7/8-round CLEFIA.The attack complexities are low enough and the key of 6/7-round CLEFIA can be recovered within one second in the ordinary PC.Moreover
the 8-round attack can be also implemented in the high-performance computer.
