Many types of decision problems can be solved using mathematical modeling and analysis. Such techniques are also developed on the border of mathematical logic and computer science. A good example is the translation of the issues examined into the Satisfiability Problem (SAT) of a logical propositional formula. Unfortunately, this method is not always practical, considering the high computational complexity of solving the SAT problem. It often happens that in the studied cases, the encoding formulas contain even hundreds of thousands of clauses and propositional variables. However, even in these cases, modern SAT solvers can sometimes successfully solve these problems. This approach can be used to cryptanalyze some symmetric ciphers or parts/modifications. In this case, the encryption algorithm is first translated into a boolean formula. Then additional formulas are created to encode randomly selected plaintext and the key bits. Using the SAT solver; we can count the values of the ciphertext bits. Then, using the SAT solver again, we proceed to the cryptanalysis of the cipher with the selected plaintext and proper ciphertext, looking for the bits of the encryption key. In this paper, we will present the new results of how SAT techniques behave against representative fragments of the AES cipher, the current standard for symmetric encryption. We also compare the results obtained in this case by several SAT solvers. In addition, we present the results of the SAT-solver CryptoMiniSat obtained during the attack on the 1st round of the AES-128 cipher.
