The program will generate 5 secret round keys randomly before performing the differential
cryptanalysis attack. These 5 keys are private, and cannot be accessed in other parts of the
program, the implementation of cipher::Cipher exposes a function is_last_round_key to verified
for the correctness of the extracted (last) round key.
cargo run --releaseThe flag --release builds the binary in release mode, which will apply the optimizations it needs
for a faster run-time.
