Study Notes
Data Encryption Standard (DES)
- DES is a symmetric block cipher scheme developed in the 1970s by IBM and standardized by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
- It was widely used in banking transactions but is no longer considered robust enough for modern security needs.
- The algorithm encrypts 64-bit blocks of data using a 56-bit key.
- It uses 16 rounds of encryption and decryption, each round using a different 48-bit subkey derived from the main key.
- It relies on substitution boxes (S-boxes) and transposition boxes (P-boxes) for complexity.
- During encryption and decryption, the 64-bit data block is split into two 32-bit halves (L and R).
- The "f" function combines the right half (R) with the subkey (Ki) to create a 48-bit block for the S-box, which outputs 32-bit blocks.
- DES is based on the Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) technique, where each encrypted block is linked to the previous block.
DES History
- DES was the most widely used encryption algorithm in the world for many years.
- Despite its popularity, it has been subject to security concerns.
- This led to the development of Triple DES (3DES), which uses three DES operations to enhance security.
DES Algorithm:
- DES operates on 64-bit blocks of data.
- It uses a 64-bit key, but 8 bits are parity bits, leaving 56 effective key bits.
- The algorithm involves four phases:
- Initial Permutation (IP): An initial permutation of the data block.
- Key Generation: Generation of 16 subkeys (K1,...,K16) from the main key.
- Iterations and Rounds: Sixteen rounds of encryption/decryption, each using a different subkey, involving the f function, which utilizes S-boxes and P-boxes.
- Final Permutation (IP-1): An inverse permutation applied to the final result to obtain the ciphertext/plaintext.
Modern Block Ciphers
- Block ciphers are one of the most widely used types of cryptographic algorithms.
- They provide secrecy and authentication services.
- Examples of block ciphers include DES, Triple DES, and the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
Block Ciphers vs. Stream Ciphers
- Block ciphers: Process messages in blocks of fixed size, often 64 bits or more.
- Stream ciphers: Process messages bit by bit or byte by byte.
- Modern cryptographic systems mostly rely on block ciphers.
Symmetric Encryption - Block Cipher
- Principle: The text is divided into blocks of fixed size, and each block is processed individually using the same key and function.
- The entire block needs to be available before processing.
- The same function and key are used to encrypt all successive blocks.
DES Operation: Phase 2 - Keys' Generation
- DES algorithm uses a 64-bit key with 56 bits for actual encryption.
- The 64-bit key is split into two halves - C0 and D0, each containing 28 bits.
- These halves are then shifted left based on a predetermined schedule for each round.
- There are 16 rounds in DES encryption.
- The schedule of left shifts determines how many bits are shifted in each round.
- The shift schedule is: 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1
- This creates 16 subkeys (K1 to K16) which are used in each round of encryption.
- The subkeys are then created by taking Cn and Dn, and applying Permutation 2 (Comp2) to create a 48-bit key.
- Comp 2 maps the 56 bits to 48 bits, removing 8 bits.
DES Operation: Phase 3 - Iterations and Rounds
- DES encrypts data in 16 rounds.
- Each round uses a different subkey (K1 to K16).
- The original 64-bit message is first split into two 32-bit halves - Left (L) and Right (R).
- In each round, the right half (R) is expanded to 48 bits using Expansion Permutation (E).
- The 48-bit expanded R is then XORed with the 48-bit subkey (Ki).
- The result is then passed through a Substitution Box (S-Box) to reduce the result from 48 bits to 32 bits.
- The 32-bit output from the S-Box is then permuted using a Permutation Box (P).
- The permuted result (32 bits) is then XORed with the left half (L).
- The Left half becomes the new right half (R) and the original right half becomes the new left half (L).
- This process continues for 16 rounds, each using a different subkey.
DES Operation: Phase 4 - Inverse Permutation
- After the 16 rounds, the final left (L) and right (R) halves are swapped.
- The swapped halves are then concatenated to form a 64-bit block.
- This block is then permuted using the Inverse Permutation (IP-1).
- The output of IP-1 is the final encrypted ciphertext.
