Design and Implementation of Unified Hardware for 128-Bit Block Ciphers ARIA and AES Design and Implementation of Unified Hardware for 128-Bit Block Ciphers ARIA and AES Bonseok Koo, Gwonho Ryu, Taejoo Chang, and Sangjin Lee ABSTRACT⎯ARIA and the Advanced Encryption Standard AES, and we measure its performance using a 0.25 μm CMOS (AES) are next generation standard block cipher algorithms of standard cell library. Our processor is very suitable to implement Korea and the US, respectively. This letter presents an area- low-cost and area-constrained cryptographic modules that efficient unified hardware architecture of ARIA and AES. Both should support both algorithms. Note also that the Public Key algorithms have 128-bit substitution permutation network (SPN) structures, and their substitution and permutation layers Cryptography Standard (PKCS) #11 has recently begun to could be efficiently merged. Therefore, we propose a 128-bit support the mechanisms of ARIA as well as those of AES [3]. processor architecture with resource sharing, which is capable of processing ARIA and AES. This is the first architecture which supports both algorithms. Furthermore, it requires only II. Unified Substitution Layer 19,056 logic gates and encrypts data at 720 Mbps and 1,047 Mbps for ARIA and AES, respectively. The substitution layer of ARIA consists of two kinds of S-boxes, S1, S2, and their inverses. The S-box S1 is composed of Keywords⎯ARIA, AES, hardware architecture, resource multiplicative inversion over GF(28) and affine transformation, sharing. 247 while S2 is a combination of x and affine transformation. Both S-boxes are defined over the GF(28) with the irreducible I. Introduction polynomial m(x)=x8 +x4+x3+x+1, which is the same as that of 247 AES. Also, S1 is identical to the S-box of AES. The term x in The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a block cipher -8 8 -1 which was adopted as an encryption standard by the US S2 is equivalent to x in GF(2 ) and can be represented as C· x government in November 2001 [1]. In Korea, ARIA was with an 8×8 binary matrix C. Consequently, the two S-boxes announced as a standard block cipher algorithm in December can be rearranged with multiplicative inverse as (1) and (2). 2004 [2]. The algorithm structures of ARIA and AES are Here, A, B, and C are 8×8 binary matrices, and a and b are 8×1 analogous. Both algorithms are 128-bit block ciphers with binary vectors: substitution permutation network (SPN) structures. Also, ARIA −1 Sx1 ()=⋅ Ax ⊕ a , uses two kinds of S-boxes, one of which is the same as the S-box Sx−1 ()=⋅⊕⋅ ( AxAa−111−− ) , (1) of AES. However, the permutation layer of ARIA uses a 16×16 1 involutional binary matrix, whereas AES uses two kinds of 4×4 247−− 8 1 Sx2 ()= Bx⋅⊕=⋅⊕=⋅⊕ b Bx b BCx b , matrices which involve multiplication over GF(28).

  • Authentication Key Recovery on Galois/Counter Mode (GCM)
    Authentication Key Recovery on Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) John Mattsson and Magnus Westerlund Ericsson Research, Stockholm, Sweden {firstname.lastname}@ericsson.com Abstract. GCM is used in a vast amount of security protocols and is quickly becoming the de facto mode of operation for block ciphers due to its exceptional performance. In this paper we analyze the NIST stan- dardized version (SP 800-38D) of GCM, and in particular the use of short tag lengths. We show that feedback of successful or unsuccessful forgery attempts is almost always possible, contradicting the NIST assumptions for short tags. We also provide a complexity estimation of Ferguson’s authentication key recovery method on short tags, and suggest several novel improvements to Fergusons’s attacks that significantly reduce the security level for short tags. We show that for many truncated tag sizes; the security levels are far below, not only the current NIST requirement of 112-bit security, but also the old NIST requirement of 80-bit security. We therefore strongly recommend NIST to revise SP 800-38D. Keywords.

To achieve high-speed implementation, primitive operations, including rotation operation, a substitute layer, and a diffusion layer, are carefully optimized for the target low-end embedded processor. The proposed ARIA implementation supports the electronic codebook (ECB) and the counter (CTR) modes of operation. In particular, the CTR mode of operation is further optimized with the pre-computed table of two add-round-key, one substitute layer, and one diffusion layer operations. Finally, the proposed ARIA-CTR implementations on 8-bit AVR microcontrollers achieved 187.1, 216.8, and 246.6 clock cycles per byte for 128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit security levels, respectively. Compared with previous reference implementations, the execution timing is improved by 69.8%, 69.6%, and 69.5% for 128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit security levels, respectively.

  • Encryption Block Cipher
    10/29/2007 Encryption Encryption Block Cipher Dr.Talal Alkharobi 2 Block Cipher A symmetric key cipher which operates on fixed-length groups of bits, termed blocks, with an unvarying transformation. When encrypting, a block cipher take n-bit block of plaintext as input, and output a corresponding n-bit block of ciphertext. The exact transformation is controlled using a secret key. Decryption is similar: the decryption algorithm takes n-bit block of ciphertext together with the secret key, and yields the original n-bit block of plaintext. Mode of operation is used to encrypt messages longer than the block size. 1 Dr.Talal Alkharobi 10/29/2007 Encryption 3 Encryption 4 Decryption 2 Dr.Talal Alkharobi 10/29/2007 Encryption 5 Block Cipher Consists of two algorithms, encryption, E, and decryption, D. Both require two inputs: n-bits block of data and key of size k bits, The output is an n-bit block. Decryption is the inverse function of encryption: D(E(B,K),K) = B For each key K, E is a permutation over the set of input blocks. n Each key K selects one permutation from the possible set of 2 !. 6 Block Cipher The block size, n, is typically 64 or 128 bits, although some ciphers have a variable block size. 64 bits was the most common length until the mid-1990s, when new designs began to switch to 128-bit. Padding scheme is used to allow plaintexts of arbitrary lengths to be encrypted. Typical key sizes (k) include 40, 56, 64, 80, 128, 192 and 256 bits.

  • S-Box Construction Based on Linear Fractional Transformation and Permutation Function
    S S symmetry Article S-box Construction Based on Linear Fractional Transformation and Permutation Function Liyana Chew Nizam Chew 1,2,* and Eddie Shahril Ismail 1 1 Department of Mathematical Sciences, Faculty of Science and Technology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi 43600 UKM, Selangor, Malaysia; [email protected] 2 Cryptography Development Department, CyberSecurity Malaysia, Cyberjaya 63000, Selangor, Malaysia * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 7 April 2020; Accepted: 7 May 2020; Published: 17 May 2020 Abstract: Substitution boxes (S-box) with strong and secure cryptographic properties are widely used for providing the key property of nonlinearity in block ciphers. This is critical to be resistant to a standard attack including linear and differential cryptanalysis. The ability to create a cryptographically strong S-box depends on its construction technique. This work aims to design and develop a cryptographically strong 8 8 S-box for block ciphers. In this work, the construction of the S-box × is based on the linear fractional transformation and permutation function. Three steps involved in producing the S-box. In step one, an irreducible polynomial of degree eight is chosen, and all roots of the primitive irreducible polynomial are calculated. In step two, algebraic properties of linear fractional transformation are applied in Galois Field GF (28). Finally, the produced matrix is permuted to add randomness to the S-box. The strength of the S-box is measured by calculating its potency to create confusion. To analyze the security properties of the S-box, some well-known and commonly used algebraic attacks are used. The proposed S-box is analyzed by nonlinearity test, algebraic degree, differential uniformity, and strict avalanche criterion which are the avalanche effect test, completeness test, and strong S-box test.

  • Analysis of Linear Relationships in Block Ciphers
    Analysis of Linear Relationships in Block Ciphers by Muhammad Reza Z’aba Bachelor of Science (Computer) (Universiti Teknologi Malaysia) – 2004 Thesis submitted in accordance with the regulations for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Information Security Institute Faculty of Science and Technology Queensland University of Technology May 7, 2010 Keywords Block cipher, stream cipher, symmetric cipher, linear transformation, diffusion, cryptanalysis, fixed points, round function, key scheduling algorithm, integral attack, bit-pattern, algebraic analysis, system of equations, branch number, AES, ARIA, LEX, BES, Noekeon, PRESENT, Serpent, SMS4 i ii Abstract This thesis is devoted to the study of linear relationships in symmetric block ciphers. A block cipher is designed so that the ciphertext is produced as a nonlinear function of the plaintext and secret master key. However, linear re- lationships within the cipher can still exist if the texts and components of the cipher are manipulated in a number of ways, as shown in this thesis. There are four main contributions of this thesis. The first contribution is the extension of the applicability of integral attacks from word-based to bit- based block ciphers. Integral attacks exploit the linear relationship between texts at intermediate stages of encryption. This relationship can be used to recover subkey bits in a key recovery attack. In principle, integral attacks can be applied to bit-based block ciphers. However, specific tools to define the attack on these ciphers are not available. This problem is addressed in this thesis by introducing a refined set of notations to describe the attack. The bit pattern- based integral attack is successfully demonstrated on reduced-round variants of the block ciphers Noekeon, Present and Serpent.

  • Attacking Reduced Rounds of the ARIA Block Cipher
    Attacking Reduced Rounds of the ARIA Block Cipher Ewan Fleischmann, Michael Gorski, and Stefan Lucks Bauhaus-University Weimar, Germany {Ewan.Fleischmann, Michael.Gorski, Stefan.Lucks}@uni-weimar.de Abstract. ARIA [4] is a block cipher proposed at ICISC’03. Its design is very similar to the advanced encryption standard (AES). The authors propose that on 32-bit processors, the encryption speed is at least 70% of that of the AES. They claim to offer a higher security level than AES. In this paper we present two attacks of reduced round ARIA which shows some weaknesses of the cipher. Moreover, our attacks have the lowest memory requirements compared to existing attacks on ARIA with an increase in the time complexity. Keywords: block ciphers, differential cryptanalysis, ARIA. 1 Introduction The ARIA block cipher [4] was presented at ICISC’03. Its design is very similar to the advanced encryption standard (AES/Rijndael) [3]. The block size is 128-bit and the key size is either 128, 192 or 256 bits. It uses the same number of rounds as the AES, which are 10, 12 and 14 respectively. ARIA employs two kinds of S-Boxes and two types of substitution layers which are different between even and odd rounds. They skip using a MixComuns operation and use an 16 × 16 binary matrix with branch number 8 in their diffusion layer. The authors propose that ARIA can increase the efficiency in 8-bit and 32-bit software implementations in comparison to AES. Moreover, they claim to have better security against all existing attacks on block ciphers.

It also provides five modes of operation (ECB, CBC, OFB, CFB, CTR) for confidentiality as well as the key lengths of 128-bit and 256-bit. The ARIA and AES are integrated into a single hardware structure, which is based on their algorithm characteristics, and a 128×12-b partially parallel GF (Galois field) multiplier is adopted to efficiently perform concurrent processing of CTR encryption and GHASH operation to achieve overall performance optimization. The hardware operation of the ARIA/AES-GCM AE processor was verified by FPGA implementation, and it occupied 60,800 gate equivalents (GEs) with a 180 nm CMOS cell library. The estimated throughput with the maximum clock frequency of 95 MHz are 1,105 Mbps and 810 Mbps in AES mode, 935 Mbps and 715 Mbps in ARIA mode, and 138~184 Mbps in GCM AE mode according to the key length. 요 약 블록암호 알고리듬 ARIA, AES를 기반으로 GCM (Galois/Counter Mode) 인증암호를 지원하는 암호 프로세서를 경량화 구현하였다.
