Topic: CAST-256



  
 Business Wire: Entrust Technologies' CAST-256 Encryption Algorithm Accepted as Official Candidate for Advanced Encryption Standard
CAST-256 is Entrust Technologies' symmetric cipher which encrypts a block of input data each time it is called for fast, secure data encryption.
The original CAST design procedure, engineered to deliver high software performance on general-purpose computers, was co-invented in 1988-89 by Carlisle Adams, then pursuing graduate studies at Queen's University in Kingston, Canada, and his thesis supervisor Dr. Stafford Tavares.
"CAST has been carefully engineered to produce ciphers that have good real-time performance and can be implemented easily in both software and hardware."

Its designers took no chances, iterating the GOST algorithm for 32 rounds and using a 256 bit key.
CAST is patented by Entrust Technologies, which has generously released it for free use.
The CAST cipher design process is described in this paper and the 128-bit version is described in this addendum.

 Standard Cryptographic Algorithm Naming
Dumping several times more than 256 bytes from the output stream (twice or three times this number) appears to be just as reasonable a precaution.
This means that discarding the initial 12 × 256 bytes most likely eliminates the possibility of a strong attack.
The "provable security" referred to in the paper is in the sense of a proven reduction from predicting the keystream generator, to breaking Rijndael-256 as a one-way function.

 CAST-128 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The algorithm was created in 1996 by Carlisle Adams and Stafford Tavares using the CAST design procedure; another member of the CAST family of ciphers, CAST-256 (a former AES candidate) was derived from CAST-128.
"Constructing Symmetric Ciphers Using the CAST Design Procedure", Designs, Codes, and Cryptography, 12(3), pp.
CAST-128 is a 12- or 16-round Feistel network with a 64-bit block size and a key size of between 40 to 128 bits (but only in 8-bit increments).

 CAST-256 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CAST-256 is composed of 48 rounds, sometimes described as 12 "quad-rounds", arranged in a generalised Feistel network.
In cryptography, CAST-256 (or CAST6) is a block cipher published in June 1998 and submitted as a candidate for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
It is an extension of an earlier cipher, CAST-128; both were designed according to the "CAST" design methodology invented by Carlisle Adams and Stafford Tavares.
