In this paper we present an attack on a reduced round version of Crypton. The attack is based on the dedicated Square attack. We explain why the attack also works on Crypton and prove that the entire 256-bit user key for 6 rounds of Crypton can be recovered with a complexity of 256encryptions, whereas for Square 272encryptions are required to recover the 128-bit user key.
