    $\begingroup$ If you want to close this question please read the following: 1) It’s not „too broad“ because there‘s only a very limited number of strategies that can be applied here and this is strictly limited to the domain of block ciphers. 2) It is not „opinion-based“ because there certainly is at least some rough consensus on how to approach this topic making it objectively answerable. 3) It’s not a duplicate of the question about cipher design qualities, because I don’t ask about them here. 4) It is not a „reference recommendation“ because they’re not strictly required for a strategy. $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 5, 2016 at 19:49

    $\begingroup$ Can you back up your statement that Schneier's guide is outdated? $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 6, 2016 at 9:57

    $\begingroup$ Actually, I would say that Schneier's guide is still a good start, even if it doesn't have references for the last 15 years. It still holds references to a lot of techniques, which are the basics for today's designs and attacks. $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 6, 2016 at 10:22
