permutation
Claude Shannon and Substitution-
Permutation Ciphers
Claude Shannon introduced idea of substitution-
permutation (S-P) networks in 1949 paper
form basis of modern block ciphers
S-P nets are based on the two primitive
cryptographic operations seen before:
substitution (S-box)
permutation (P-box)
provide confusion & diffusion of message & key
Confusion and Diffusion
cipher needs to completely obscure
statistical properties of original message
a one-time pad does this
more practically Shannon suggested
combining S & P elements to obtain:
diffusion – dissipates statistical structure
of plaintext over bulk of ciphertext
confusion – makes relationship between
ciphertext and key as complex as possible
Feistel Cipher Structure
Horst Feistel devised the Feistel cipher
based on concept of invertible product cipher
partitions input block into two halves
process through multiple rounds which
perform a substitution on left data half
based on round function of right half & subkey
then have permutation swapping halves
implements Shannon’s S-P net concept
Feistel Cipher Structure
Decryption is similar to Encryption
DES History
IBM developed Lucifer cipher
by team led by Feistel in late 60’s
used 64-bit data blocks with 128-bit key
then redeveloped as a commercial cipher
with input from NSA and others
in 1973 NBS issued request for proposals
for a national cipher standard
IBM submitted their revised Lucifer which
was eventually accepted as the DES

DES Round Structure
uses two 32-bit L & R halves
as for any Feistel cipher can describe as:
Li = Ri–1
Ri = Li–1 F(Ri–1, Ki)
F takes 32-bit R half and 48-bit subkey:
expands R to 48-bits using perm E
adds to subkey using XOR
passes through 8 S-boxes to get 32-bit result
finally permutes using 32-bit perm P

Example 6.3
Solution
If we write the first and the sixth bits together, we get 11 in
binary, which is 3 in decimal. The remaining bits are 0001 in
binary, which is 1 in decimal. We look for the value in row 3,
column 1, in Table 6.3 (S-box 1). The result is 12 in decimal,
which in binary is 1100. So the input 100011 yields the output
1100.

Example 6.4
Solution
If we write the first and the sixth bits together, we get 00 in
binary, which is 0 in decimal. The remaining bits are 0000 in
binary, which is 0 in decimal. We look for the value in row 0,
column 0, in Table 6.10 (S-box 8). The result is 13 in decimal,
which is 1101 in binary. So the input 000000 yields the output
1101.

DES Key Schedule
forms subkeys used in each round
initial permutation of the key (PC1) which
selects 56-bits in two 28-bit halves
16 stages consisting of:
• rotating each half separately either 1 or 2 places
depending on the key rotation schedule K
• selecting 24-bits from each half & permuting them
by PC2 for use in round function F
note practical use issues in h/w vs s/w

DES Decryption
decrypt must unwind steps of data computation
with Feistel design, do encryption steps again
using subkeys in reverse order (SK16 … SK1)
IP undoes final FP step of encryption
1st round with SK16 undoes 16th encrypt round
….
16th round with SK1 undoes 1st encrypt round
then final FP undoes initial encryption IP
thus recovering original data value
DES Round Decryption
DES Example
Avalanche Effect
key desirable property of encryption alg
where a change of one input or key bit
results in changing approx half output bits
making attempts to “home-in” by guessing
keys impossible
DES exhibits strong avalanche

Strength of DES – Key Size
56-bit keys have 256 = 7.2 x 1016 values
brute force search looked hard
advances have shown is possible
in 1997 on Internet in a few months
in 1998 on dedicated h/w (EFF) in a few days
in 1999 above combined in 22hrs!
still must be able to recognize plaintext
