Data Encryption Standard (DES) Encryption Algorithms We will be looking at 3 industrial-strength encryption algorithms. The first encryption algorithm is called DES for data encryption standard. This standard was designed to encipher sensitive but non-classified data. It is bit oriented and uses both transposition and substitution. It is sometimes referred to as a product cipher. Its input, output, and encryption key are each 64 bits long. The set of 64 bits are referred to as blocks. This is a symmetric key encryption method. Data Encryption Standard (DES) In 1972 the National Bureau of Standards issued an RFP (Request for Proposal) with the following criteria: 1. able to provide a high level of security. 2. specified and easy to understand 3. publishable so that security does not depend on the secrecy of the algorithm 4. available to all users 5. adoptable for use in diverse applications 6. economical to implement in electronic devices 7. efficient to use 8. able to be validated 9. exportable The Bureau received no responses. It re-issued the RPF in 1974. IBM responded with the Lucifer Algorithm. Lucifer uses only simple logical operations on relatively small quantities. The algorithm was implemented fairly efficiently in both hardware and software on conventional computers of that time period. The characteristics of the algorithm are: Product Cipher - Both transposition & Substitution Worked on 64 bit chunks at a time, really 56 bits 16 keys, fixed 56 bit keys 16 iteration of encryption The graphic below indicates how one iteration of the algorithm works. Advanced Encryption Standard The AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) was put forward in 1997. It has yet to stand the test of time, but is likely to be the commercial-grade symmetric algorithm of choice for years if not decades. The requirements for the algorithm were 1. unclassified 2. publicly disclosed 3. available royalty-free for use worldwide 4. symmetric block cipher algorithm, for blocks of 128 bits 5. usable with key sizes of 128, 192, & 256 bits In 1999 the selected algorithm, submitted by two Dutch cryptographers (Rijmen and Daemen), was adopted in 1999. The characteristics of the algorithm are 1. Substitution 2. Transposition 3. Shift 4. Exclusive Or 5. Additions The algorithm’s operation is based on the length of the key that is used. 9, 11, or 13 cycles for keys of 128, 192, or 256 bits, respectively, determine the algorithm’s operation. Each cycle of the algorithm consists of 1. Byte substitution This is a confusion set that substitutes each byte of a 128-bit block according to a substitution table. This is similar to the DES algorithm. 2. Shift row This is a another confusion step that is implemented as a transposition step. Basically, row n is shifted left circular (n-1) bytes. 3. Mix column This operation provides confusion and diffusion. The step involves shifting left and exclusive-ORing bits with themselves. 4. add subkey This operation provides confusion and incorporates the key. In this step a portion of the key unique to this cycle is exclusively-ORed with the cycle results The graphic below depicts the algorithm. The following table compares DES and AES.

This algorithm was first introduced in 1978 and to date remains secure. It has been subject to extensive cryptanalysis, and no serious flaws have been found. The RSA encryption algorithm combines results from number theory, specifically mathematics properties of prime factors of numbers. The two keys in RSA, d and e, are used for decryption and encryption respectively. The algorithm is described below. Exponentiation Cipher Choose 2 large prime numbers p and q N = p q Φ(n) = # of numbers less than n with no factors in common with n e.g. n = 10 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Φ(10) = 4 Chose an integer e < n that is relatively prime to Φ(n) Find a second integer d e d mod Φ(n) = 1 The public key is ( e, n ), and the private key is d. e.g. p = 7 q = 3 n = 21 Φ(n) = (p – 1) ( q – 1) Φ(n) = 12 1, 21, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 13, 16, 17, 19, 20 Choose 11 e = 11 11 d mod 12 = 1 d = 11 Note: This is not a good example because we are using very small integers. Let m be a message c = me mod n m = cd mod n e.g. p = 7 q = 11 n = 77 Φ(n) = 60 choose 17 as the public key 17 d mod 60 = 1 d = 53 private key have to go through list until above is true Questions such as are we guaranteed to find at least 1 d? is there more than one d? All beyond the scope of this course….. e.g. H E L L O W O R L D Note: Bob encrypts using the public key and Alice decrypts using the private key Bob Encrypts: Plain Text: 07 04 11 11 14 26 22 14 17 11 03 Cipher Text: 717 mod 77 = 28 417 mod 77 = 16 1117 mod 77 = 44 Cipher Text: 28 16 44 44 …… encrypt using the public key Alice Decrypts: Using the Cipher Text: 28 16 44 44 42 38 42 19 44 75 Plain Text: 2853 mod 77 = 7 1653 mod 77 = 4 4453 mod 77 = 11 Plain Text: 7 4 11 11 14 26 22 14 17 11 3 .

We prove bounds on the maximum achievable branch number (BN) and the number of fixed points of our construction. We also define two families of efficiently implementable round functions to be used in our method. The usage of these families in the proposed method produces matrices achieving the proven bounds on branch numbers and fixed points. Moreover, we show that BN of the transpose matrix is the same with the original matrix for the function families we defined. Some of the generated matrices are Maximum Distance Binary Linear (MDBL), i.e. matrices with the highest achievable BN. The number of fixed points of the generated matrices are close to the expected value for a random involution. Generated matrices are especially suitable for utilising in bitslice block ciphers and hash functions. They can be implemented efficiently in many platforms, from low cost CPUs to dedicated hardware. Keywords: Diffusion layer, bitslice cipher, hash function, involution, MDBL matrices, Fixed points. 1 Introduction Modern block ciphers and hash functions use two basic layers iteratively to provide security: confusion and diffusion.

  • Writing Mathematical Expressions in Plain Text – Examples and Cautions Copyright © 2009 Sally J
    Writing Mathematical Expressions in Plain Text – Examples and Cautions Copyright © 2009 Sally J. Keely. All Rights Reserved. Mathematical expressions can be typed online in a number of ways including plain text, ASCII codes, HTML tags, or using an equation editor (see Writing Mathematical Notation Online for overview). If the application in which you are working does not have an equation editor built in, then a common option is to write expressions horizontally in plain text. In doing so you have to format the expressions very carefully using appropriately placed parentheses and accurate notation. This document provides examples and important cautions for writing mathematical expressions in plain text. Section 1. How to Write Exponents Just as on a graphing calculator, when writing in plain text the caret key ^ (above the 6 on a qwerty keyboard) means that an exponent follows. For example x2 would be written as x^2. Example 1a. 4xy23 would be written as 4 x^2 y^3 or with the multiplication mark as 4*x^2*y^3. Example 1b. With more than one item in the exponent you must enclose the entire exponent in parentheses to indicate exactly what is in the power. x2n must be written as x^(2n) and NOT as x^2n. Writing x^2n means xn2 . Example 1c. When using the quotient rule of exponents you often have to perform subtraction within an exponent. In such cases you must enclose the entire exponent in parentheses to indicate exactly what is in the power. x5 The middle step of ==xx52− 3 must be written as x^(5-2) and NOT as x^5-2 which means x5 − 2 .

Smid Formerly: Computer Security Division, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD 20899, USA [email protected] Strong cryptographic algorithms are essential for the protection of stored and transmitted data throughout the world. This publication discusses the development of Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS) 197, which specifies a cryptographic algorithm known as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). The AES was the result of a cooperative multiyear effort involving the U.S. government, industry, and the academic community. Several difficult problems that had to be resolved during the standard’s development are discussed, and the eventual solutions are presented. The author writes from his viewpoint as former leader of the Security Technology Group and later as acting director of the Computer Security Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, where he was responsible for the AES development. Key words: Advanced Encryption Standard (AES); consensus process; cryptography; Data Encryption Standard (DES); security requirements, SKIPJACK.
