Topic: Lucifer (cipher)


  
 Data Encryption Standard - Open Encyclopedia
This time, IBM submitted a candidate which was deemed acceptable, a cipher developed during the period 1973–1974 based on an earlier algorithm, Horst Feistel's Lucifer cipher.
DES is the archetypal block cipher — an algorithm that takes a fixed-length string of plaintext bits and transforms it through a series of complicated operations into another ciphertext bitstring of the same length.
Permutation — finally, the 32 outputs from the S-boxes are rearranged according a fixed permutation, the P-box.

This project is a simplified version of project 3 (since past students have had difficulty implementing project 3).
See the handout for suggestions.(40-50 points) The number of points will depend in large part how successful your program is. Your program should expect input from a ascii or binary file.
We are using a simple rotor machine because later we have a project on trying to break this cipher.

 SSH : Support : Cryptography A-Z : Algorithms : Secret Key Cryptosystems
RC4 is a stream cipher designed by Ron Rivest at RSA Data Security, Inc. It used to be a trade secret, until someone posted source code for an algorithm on the usenet, claiming it to be equivalent to RC4.
In this section some of the famous ciphers of the past are listed, with links to more complete information where possible.
The essential property of Feistel networks that makes them so useful in cipher design is that the round function need not be invertible, but the resulting function always is.

 The Free Information Society - A Glossary of Cryptography Terms
It is known that the original Lucifer algorithm used a 128-bit key and that this key length was shortened to 64 bits (56 bits plus 8 parity bits), thus making exhaustive search much easier (so far as is known, brute-force search has not been done, though it should be feasible today).
*** computationally secure -- where a cipher cannot be broken with available computer resources, but in theory can be broken with enough computer resources.
Much of the work on implementing DC Nets, for example, involves ensuring that colluders cannot isolate message senders and thereby trace origins and destinations of mail.

 NSRP: Cryptography
DES was based on the Lucifer cipher and after some particularly controversial changes to the algorithm mandated by NSA (including the changing the contents of some of the algorithm's eight substitution boxes (s-boxes) and the reduction of key size from 128 bits to 56 bits) was chosen to be the U.S. Data Encryption Standard.
It is a symmetric block algorithm written by IBM that encodes 64-bit blocks of data using a 56-bit key.
Meanwhile, the revolution in computers and electronic communications drove the need for civilian research in cryptography, as companies and individuals began to sense the same need for encryption and privacy protection that the government had long recognized.

 JS: Crypto: « Lucifer » style cryptology (Javascript)
Anyway, keep in mind: the difference between lucifer and cryptoBaits is (for both yield as a result a shuffling of the text) that lucifer shuffles the existing input text, as opposite to cryptoBaits which adds characters to it, and then invokes lucifer to shuffle the overall amount (original text plus baits, that is).
« Lucifer » was the name that IBM gave to a product and a procedure, which was to become a standard, meant to crypt texts by giving to the cipher a lot of shuffling, in order to make it even harder to analyze.
For the crypt and deCrypt functions see the 2nd crypto file; anyway keep in mind that the keyword used for crypt and deCrypt functions can be different from the keyword you use for lucifer.

Structural tests in use for Feistel style block ciphers include a generalised form of Meyer's analysis of ciphertext dependence on plaintext and key, and an analysis of avalanche propagation in the cipher.

 The Data Encryption Standard
DES was a reasonably competent block cipher for its time, but advances in computing machinery have blown its security away.
While most of these modes do add some real and necessary security against known- plaintext attacks at very small computational cost, there is simply no way to achieve security in a cipher with such a short key length other than using it multiple times with different keys.
In 1972, the National Bureau of Standards (NBS, which has since been renamed as the National Institute of Standards and Technology, or NIST) launched a program to develop a standard cryptographic algorithm.

Lucifer is the first publically known example of a practical substitution-permutation cipher

if a cipher requires more operations, or needs more storage than this, it is pretty reasonable to say it is computationally secure

 Encrypting algorithms
DES is based on an algorithm known as Lucifer cipher designed by IBM.
Therefore, RSA is much slower to compute than other secret key algorithms, such as DES.
DES uses a 56-bit key, and maps a 64-bit input block into a 64-bit output block.

 Feistel cipher
Many modern symmetric block ciphers are based on Feistel networks, and the structure and properties of Feistel ciphers havebeen extensively explored by cryptographers.
Like other components of the DES, theiterative nature of the Feistel construction makes implementing the cryptosystem in hardware easier (particularly on the hardwareavailable at the time of DES' design).
The Skipjack encryption algorithm is anexample of such a cipher.

 Lucifer (cipher) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In cryptography, Lucifer was the name given to several of the earliest civilian block ciphers, developed by Horst Feistel and his colleagues at IBM.
The patent describes the execution of the cipher operating on 24-bits at a time, and also a sequential version operating on 8-bits at a time.
The cipher is a Substitution-permutation network and uses two 4-bit S-boxes.
