Abstract

The development process of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) was launched in 1997 by the US government through NIST. The Decorrelated Fast Cipher (DFC) was the CNRS proposal for the AES, among 14 other candidates in 1998. It was based on the recent decorrelation theory, to obtain certain security proofs covering linear and differential cryptanalysis. DFC received numerous comments. In particular, Coppersmith discovered a weakness in the key schedule. We address this weakness by a slight modification on DFC. This paper presents the specifications and rationales of DFC version 2, and discusses issues raised during the AES process.

Differential cryptanalysis

Differential cryptanalysis is a general form of cryptanalysis applicable primarily to block ciphers, but also to stream ciphers and cryptographic hash functions. In the broadest sense, it is the study of how differences in information input can affect the resultant difference at the output. In the case of a block cipher, it refers to a set of techniques for tracing differences through the network of transformation, discovering where the cipher exhibits non-random behavior, and exploiting such properties to recover the secret key (cryptography key).

Advanced Encryption Standard

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), also known by its original name Rijndael (ˈrɛindaːl), is a specification for the encryption of electronic data established by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2001. AES is a variant of the Rijndael block cipher developed by two Belgian cryptographers, Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen, who submitted a proposal to NIST during the AES selection process. Rijndael is a family of ciphers with different key and block sizes.

Data Encryption Standard

The Data Encryption Standard (DES ˌdiːˌiːˈɛs,_dɛz) is a symmetric-key algorithm for the encryption of digital data. Although its short key length of 56 bits makes it too insecure for modern applications, it has been highly influential in the advancement of cryptography. Developed in the early 1970s at IBM and based on an earlier design by Horst Feistel, the algorithm was submitted to the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) following the agency's invitation to propose a candidate for the protection of sensitive, unclassified electronic government data.
