Ron Rivest's Cipher No.2
|
||
|
|
------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ron Rivest's Cipher No.2 (hereafter referred to as RRC.2, other people may
|
||
|
|
refer to it by other names) is word oriented, operating on a block of 64 bits
|
||
|
|
divided into four 16-bit words, with a key table of 64 words. All data units
|
||
|
|
are little-endian. This functional description of the algorithm is based in
|
||
|
|
the paper "The RC5 Encryption Algorithm" (RC5 is a trademark of RSADSI), using
|
||
|
|
the same general layout, terminology, and pseudocode style.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Notation and RRC.2 Primitive Operations
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RRC.2 uses the following primitive operations:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Two's-complement addition of words, denoted by "+". The inverse operation,
|
||
|
|
subtraction, is denoted by "-".
|
||
|
|
2. Bitwise exclusive OR, denoted by "^".
|
||
|
|
3. Bitwise AND, denoted by "&".
|
||
|
|
4. Bitwise NOT, denoted by "~".
|
||
|
|
5. A left-rotation of words; the rotation of word x left by y is denoted
|
||
|
|
x <<< y. The inverse operation, right-rotation, is denoted x >>> y.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These operations are directly and efficiently supported by most processors.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The RRC.2 Algorithm
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RRC.2 consists of three components, a *key expansion* algorithm, an
|
||
|
|
*encryption* algorithm, and a *decryption* algorithm.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Key Expansion
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The purpose of the key-expansion routine is to expand the user's key K to fill
|
||
|
|
the expanded key array S, so S resembles an array of random binary words
|
||
|
|
determined by the user's secret key K.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Initialising the S-box
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RRC.2 uses a single 256-byte S-box derived from the ciphertext contents of
|
||
|
|
Beale Cipher No.1 XOR'd with a one-time pad. The Beale Ciphers predate modern
|
||
|
|
cryptography by enough time that there should be no concerns about trapdoors
|
||
|
|
hidden in the data. They have been published widely, and the S-box can be
|
||
|
|
easily recreated from the one-time pad values and the Beale Cipher data taken
|
||
|
|
from a standard source. To initialise the S-box:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
for i = 0 to 255 do
|
||
|
|
sBox[ i ] = ( beale[ i ] mod 256 ) ^ pad[ i ]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The contents of Beale Cipher No.1 and the necessary one-time pad are given as
|
||
|
|
an appendix at the end of this document. For efficiency, implementors may wish
|
||
|
|
to skip the Beale Cipher expansion and store the sBox table directly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Expanding the Secret Key to 128 Bytes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The secret key is first expanded to fill 128 bytes (64 words). The expansion
|
||
|
|
consists of taking the sum of the first and last bytes in the user key, looking
|
||
|
|
up the sum (modulo 256) in the S-box, and appending the result to the key. The
|
||
|
|
operation is repeated with the second byte and new last byte of the key until
|
||
|
|
all 128 bytes have been generated. Note that the following pseudocode treats
|
||
|
|
the S array as an array of 128 bytes rather than 64 words.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
for j = 0 to length-1 do
|
||
|
|
S[ j ] = K[ j ]
|
||
|
|
for j = length to 127 do
|
||
|
|
s[ j ] = sBox[ ( S[ j-length ] + S[ j-1 ] ) mod 256 ];
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At this point it is possible to perform a truncation of the effective key
|
||
|
|
length to ease the creation of espionage-enabled software products. However
|
||
|
|
since the author cannot conceive why anyone would want to do this, it will not
|
||
|
|
be considered further.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The final phase of the key expansion involves replacing the first byte of S
|
||
|
|
with the entry selected from the S-box:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
S[ 0 ] = sBox[ S[ 0 ] ]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Encryption
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The cipher has 16 full rounds, each divided into 4 subrounds. Two of the full
|
||
|
|
rounds perform an additional transformation on the data. Note that the
|
||
|
|
following pseudocode treats the S array as an array of 64 words rather than 128
|
||
|
|
bytes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
for i = 0 to 15 do
|
||
|
|
j = i * 4;
|
||
|
|
word0 = ( word0 + ( word1 & ~word3 ) + ( word2 & word3 ) + S[ j+0 ] ) <<< 1
|
||
|
|
word1 = ( word1 + ( word2 & ~word0 ) + ( word3 & word0 ) + S[ j+1 ] ) <<< 2
|
||
|
|
word2 = ( word2 + ( word3 & ~word1 ) + ( word0 & word1 ) + S[ j+2 ] ) <<< 3
|
||
|
|
word3 = ( word3 + ( word0 & ~word2 ) + ( word1 & word2 ) + S[ j+3 ] ) <<< 5
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition the fifth and eleventh rounds add the contents of the S-box indexed
|
||
|
|
by one of the data words to another of the data words following the four
|
||
|
|
subrounds as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
word0 = word0 + S[ word3 & 63 ];
|
||
|
|
word1 = word1 + S[ word0 & 63 ];
|
||
|
|
word2 = word2 + S[ word1 & 63 ];
|
||
|
|
word3 = word3 + S[ word2 & 63 ];
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Decryption
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The decryption operation is simply the inverse of the encryption operation.
|
||
|
|
Note that the following pseudocode treats the S array as an array of 64 words
|
||
|
|
rather than 128 bytes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
for i = 15 downto 0 do
|
||
|
|
j = i * 4;
|
||
|
|
word3 = ( word3 >>> 5 ) - ( word0 & ~word2 ) - ( word1 & word2 ) - S[ j+3 ]
|
||
|
|
word2 = ( word2 >>> 3 ) - ( word3 & ~word1 ) - ( word0 & word1 ) - S[ j+2 ]
|
||
|
|
word1 = ( word1 >>> 2 ) - ( word2 & ~word0 ) - ( word3 & word0 ) - S[ j+1 ]
|
||
|
|
word0 = ( word0 >>> 1 ) - ( word1 & ~word3 ) - ( word2 & word3 ) - S[ j+0 ]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition the fifth and eleventh rounds subtract the contents of the S-box
|
||
|
|
indexed by one of the data words from another one of the data words following
|
||
|
|
the four subrounds as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
word3 = word3 - S[ word2 & 63 ]
|
||
|
|
word2 = word2 - S[ word1 & 63 ]
|
||
|
|
word1 = word1 - S[ word0 & 63 ]
|
||
|
|
word0 = word0 - S[ word3 & 63 ]
|
||

Implementation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A non-US based programmer who has never seen any encryption code before will
|
||
|
|
shortly be implementing RRC.2 based solely on this specification and not on
|
||
|
|
knowledge of any other encryption algorithms. Stand by.
