DESCRIPTION
| |
The Digital Encryption Standard (DES) is a shared key or symmetric
encryption using either a 56 bit key for single DES or three 56
bit keys for triple des. The keys are encoded into 64 bits where
every eight bit is parity.
The basic DES function, block_cipher, works on a block of 8 bytes,
converting them in place. It takes a key schedule, a pointer to
the block, and a flag indicating encrypting (0) or decrypting
(1). The key schedule is created from the key using des_key_setup.
Since it is a bit awkward, block_cipher is rarely called directly.
Instead, one normally uses routines that encrypt larger buffers
of data and which may chain the encryption state from one buffer
to the next. These routines keep track of the state of the encryption
using a DESstate structure that contains the key schedule and
any chained state.
SetupDESstate sets up the DESstate structure using the key and
an 8 byte initialization vector.
Electronic code book, using desECBencrypt and desECBdecrypt, is
the less secure mode. The encryption of each 8 bytes does not
depend on the encryption of any other. Hence the encryption is
a substitution cipher using 64 bit characters.
Cipher block chaining mode, using desCBCencrypt and desCBCdecrypt,
is more secure. Every block encrypted depends on the initialization
vector and all blocks encrypted before it.
For both CBC and ECB modes, a stream of data can be encrypted
as multiple buffers. However, all buffers except the last must
be a multiple of 8 bytes to ensure successful decryption of the
stream.
There are equivalent triple DES functions for each of the DES
functions.
In the past Plan 9 used a 56 bit or 7 byte format for DES keys.
To be compatible with the rest of the world, we’ve abandoned this
format. There are two functions: des56to64 and des64to56 to convert
back and forth between the two formats. Also a key schedule can
be set up from the 7 byte format using key_setup.
