Zodiac is a block cipher algorithm and it supports 3 master key lengths which are called Zodiac-128, Zodiac-192 and Zodiac-256. The security of Zodiac algorithm was evaluated by using zero-correlation linear cryptanalysis. Firstly, 10-round zero-correlation linear approximations of Zodiac algorithm were constructed according to the structural characteristics of the algorithm. Then, the multidimensional zero-correlation linear cryptanalysis on 16-round Zodiac-192 was conducted. The analysis results show that 19-byte keys were restored totally in the process of attack, the data complexity was about 2 124.40 known ciphertexts and the computational complexity was 2 181.58 encryptions of 16-round. Thus the Zodiac-192 algorithm with the 192-bit key of 16 rounds (full rounds) is not immune to the zero-correlation linear cryptanalysis.
