Study Notes
Modern Block Ciphers
- Modern block ciphers build on classical cipher techniques to enhance security.
- Key techniques include encrypting multiple letters at once (block ciphers) and using various ciphertext alphabets (polyalphabetic ciphers).
- Combining these methods leads to a stronger encryption.
- Block ciphers operate on blocks of data (e.g., 8 letters).
- They use a large number of ciphertext alphabets, termed modes of operation.
Simplified DES
- Developed in 1996 by Edward Schaefer, Santa Clara University, as a teaching tool.
- Takes an 8-bit plaintext block and a 10-bit key.
- Produces an 8-bit ciphertext block.
- The decryption process uses the same key and produces the original 8-bit plaintext.
Simplified DES Key Generation
- The process generates two 8-bit subkeys (k1, k2) from a 10-bit input key.
- Function P10 rearranges the bits of the 10-bit key.
- Key shifting (bitwise left shifting) happens twice.
- Function P8 rearranges the bits of the shifted keys to produce the final subkeys k1 and k2.
Encryption of Plaintext
- The steps to encrypt plaintext involve several operations.
- Initial permutation—a specific rearrangement of the bits of the plaintext.
- Function f—a complex operation with two inputs, one key (k1 or k2), and the right half of the data.
- Swap function—swaps the left and right halves of the encrypted data after step C.
- Step D repeats step B using the key k2.
- Step E performs an inverse permutation of the encrypted data to recover the ciphertext.
