Wireless Integrated Network Sensor (WINS) make available monitoring and control capabilities for surveying the borders of a country. Applying these capabilities the illegal persons which cross the border by trespassing or unlawful activities which occur in a protected area can be easily identified. In order to achieve this objective, the protected area is split into a number of nodes. Each node communicates with each other and with the central node by the means of secured communication channels. In order to securely transmit the information to and from the nodes in a real system the cryptographic algorithm AES is often used. Integral cryptanalysis is an attack that makes use of chosen-plaintext and can subvert the security of cryptographic algorithm. This paper reports on analysis and results of integral cryptanalysis or square attack on a 4 round reduced version of the AES cipher (mini-AES).
