The cyryptographic strength of a Feistel cipher depends strongly on the properties of its S-boxes, which are the strict avalanche criterion(SAC), the propagation criterion(PC) and GAC(the global avalanche criterion). In this paper global avalanche characteristics of S-boxes of the SEED are in-vestigated and compared to global avalanche characteristics of S-boxes of S-boxes of the Data Encryption Standard(DES).

In this paper we modify two indicators related to the global avalanche criterion (GAC) and discuss their properties. Also, we apply the modified indicators to measure the GAC of S-boxes of DES.
