Study Notes
SubBytes
- The SubBytes step in the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) involves replacing each byte in the state matrix with a new byte using the S-Box.
- The S-Box is a lookup table that maps each byte to its corresponding substitute byte.
- The S-Box is constructed by first finding the multiplicative inverse of the byte in the finite field GF(2⁸).
- This multiplicative inverse is then transformed using an affine transformation (a combination of addition and multiplication in GF(2⁸)).
MixColumns
- The MixColumns step in AES involves multiplying each column of the state matrix by a fixed matrix in GF(2⁸).
- This multiplication is performed using the polynomial x⁸ + x⁴ + x³ + x + 1 as the irreducible polynomial.
- The matrix used in the MixColumns step is invertible, which allows for the inverse MixColumns operation to be performed.
- The inverse MixColumns operation is used in the decryption process to reverse the effects of the forward MixColumns operation.
ShiftRows
- The ShiftRows step in AES involves shifting the rows of the state matrix to the left by a specific number of bytes.
- The first row is not shifted, the second row is shifted left by one byte, the third row is shifted left by two bytes, and the fourth row is shifted left by three bytes.
- This shift operation ensures that the columns of the state matrix interact with each other over a number of rounds.
AES Round
- Each round of the AES algorithm consists of four steps: SubBytes, ShiftRows, MixColumns, and AddRoundKey.
- The AddRoundKey step involves XORing the current state matrix with a round key derived from the main key.
- The last round of the AES algorithm does not include the MixColumns step.
AES Implementation
- The AES algorithm can be implemented in software or hardware.
- The algorithm is highly efficient and has been adopted as a standard by many organizations, including the US government.
- The security of AES is based on its high round complexity and the use of a large key size (128, 192, or 256 bits).
