.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This library contains a fast implementation of the DES encryption
|
|
algorithm.
|
|
.PP
|
|
There are two phases to the use of DES encryption.
|
|
The first is the generation of a
|
|
.I des_key_schedule
|
|
from a key,
|
|
the second is the actual encryption.
|
|
A des key is of type
|
|
.I des_cblock.
|
|
This type is made from 8 characters with odd parity.
|
|
The least significant bit in the character is the parity bit.
|
|
The key schedule is an expanded form of the key; it is used to speed the
|
|
encryption process.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_read_password
|
|
writes the string specified by prompt to the standard output,
|
|
turns off echo and reads an input string from standard input
|
|
until terminated with a newline.
|
|
If verify is non-zero, it prompts and reads the input again and verifies
|
|
that both entered passwords are the same.
|
|
The entered string is converted into a des key by using the
|
|
.I des_string_to_key
|
|
routine.
|
|
The new key is placed in the
|
|
.I des_cblock
|
|
that was passed (by reference) to the routine.
|
|
If there were no errors,
|
|
.I des_read_password
|
|
returns 0,
|
|
-1 is returned if there was a terminal error and 1 is returned for
|
|
any other error.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_read_2password
|
|
operates in the same way as
|
|
.I des_read_password
|
|
except that it generates 2 keys by using the
|
|
.I des_string_to_2key
|
|
function.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_read_pw_string
|
|
is called by
|
|
.I des_read_password
|
|
to read and verify a string from a terminal device.
|
|
The string is returned in
|
|
.I buf.
|
|
The size of
|
|
.I buf
|
|
is passed to the routine via the
|
|
.I length
|
|
parameter.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_string_to_key
|
|
converts a string into a valid des key.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_string_to_2key
|
|
converts a string into 2 valid des keys.
|
|
This routine is best suited for used to generate keys for use with
|
|
.I des_3ecb_encrypt.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_random_key
|
|
returns a random key that is made of a combination of process id,
|
|
time and an increasing counter.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Before a des key can be used it is converted into a
|
|
.I des_key_schedule
|
|
via the
|
|
.I des_set_key
|
|
routine.
|
|
If the
|
|
.I des_check_key
|
|
flag is non-zero,
|
|
.I des_set_key
|
|
will check that the key passed is of odd parity and is not a week or
|
|
semi-weak key.
|
|
If the parity is wrong,
|
|
then -1 is returned.
|
|
If the key is a weak key,
|
|
then -2 is returned.
|
|
If an error is returned,
|
|
the key schedule is not generated.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_key_sched
|
|
is another name for the
|
|
.I des_set_key
|
|
function.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The following routines mostly operate on an input and output stream of
|
|
.I des_cblock's.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_ecb_encrypt
|
|
is the basic DES encryption routine that encrypts or decrypts a single 8-byte
|
|
.I des_cblock
|
|
in
|
|
.I electronic code book
|
|
mode.
|
|
It always transforms the input data, pointed to by
|
|
.I input,
|
|
into the output data,
|
|
pointed to by the
|
|
.I output
|
|
argument.
|
|
If the
|
|
.I encrypt
|
|
argument is non-zero (DES_ENCRYPT),
|
|
the
|
|
.I input
|
|
(cleartext) is encrypted in to the
|
|
.I output
|
|
(ciphertext) using the key_schedule specified by the
|
|
.I schedule
|
|
argument,
|
|
previously set via
|
|
.I des_set_key.
|
|
If
|
|
.I encrypt
|
|
is zero (DES_DECRYPT),
|
|
the
|
|
.I input
|
|
(now ciphertext)
|
|
is decrypted into the
|
|
.I output
|
|
(now cleartext).
|
|
Input and output may overlap.
|
|
No meaningful value is returned.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_3ecb_encrypt
|
|
encrypts/decrypts the
|
|
.I input
|
|
block by using triple ecb DES encryption.
|
|
This involves encrypting the input with
|
|
.I ks1,
|
|
decryption with the key schedule
|
|
.I ks2,
|
|
and then encryption with the first again.
|
|
This routine greatly reduces the chances of brute force breaking of
|
|
DES and has the advantage of if
|
|
.I ks1
|
|
and
|
|
.I ks2
|
|
are the same, it is equivalent to just encryption using ecb mode and
|
|
.I ks1
|
|
as the key.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_cbc_encrypt
|
|
encrypts/decrypts using the
|
|
.I cipher-block-chaining
|
|
mode of DES.
|
|
If the
|
|
.I encrypt
|
|
argument is non-zero,
|
|
the routine cipher-block-chain encrypts the cleartext data pointed to by the
|
|
.I input
|
|
argument into the ciphertext pointed to by the
|
|
.I output
|
|
argument,
|
|
using the key schedule provided by the
|
|
.I schedule
|
|
argument,
|
|
and initialisation vector provided by the
|
|
.I ivec
|
|
argument.
|
|
If the
|
|
.I length
|
|
argument is not an integral multiple of eight bytes,
|
|
the last block is copied to a temporary area and zero filled.
|
|
The output is always
|
|
an integral multiple of eight bytes.
|
|
To make multiple cbc encrypt calls on a large amount of data appear to
|
|
be one
|
|
.I des_cbc_encrypt
|
|
call, the
|
|
.I ivec
|
|
of subsequent calls should be the last 8 bytes of the output.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_3cbc_encrypt
|
|
encrypts/decrypts the
|
|
.I input
|
|
block by using triple cbc DES encryption.
|
|
This involves encrypting the input with key schedule
|
|
.I ks1,
|
|
decryption with the key schedule
|
|
.I ks2,
|
|
and then encryption with the first again.
|
|
2 initialisation vectors are required,
|
|
.I ivec1
|
|
and
|
|
.I ivec2.
|
|
Unlike
|
|
.I des_cbc_encrypt,
|
|
these initialisation vectors are modified by the subroutine.
|
|
This routine greatly reduces the chances of brute force breaking of
|
|
DES and has the advantage of if
|
|
.I ks1
|
|
and
|
|
.I ks2
|
|
are the same, it is equivalent to just encryption using cbc mode and
|
|
.I ks1
|
|
as the key.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_pcbc_encrypt
|
|
encrypt/decrypts using a modified block chaining mode.
|
|
It provides better error propagation characteristics than cbc
|
|
encryption.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_cfb_encrypt
|
|
encrypt/decrypts using cipher feedback mode. This method takes an
|
|
array of characters as input and outputs and array of characters. It
|
|
does not require any padding to 8 character groups. Note: the ivec
|
|
variable is changed and the new changed value needs to be passed to
|
|
the next call to this function. Since this function runs a complete
|
|
DES ecb encryption per numbits, this function is only suggested for
|
|
use when sending small numbers of characters.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_ofb_encrypt
|
|
encrypt using output feedback mode. This method takes an
|
|
array of characters as input and outputs and array of characters. It
|
|
does not require any padding to 8 character groups. Note: the ivec
|
|
variable is changed and the new changed value needs to be passed to
|
|
the next call to this function. Since this function runs a complete
|
|
DES ecb encryption per numbits, this function is only suggested for
|
|
use when sending small numbers of characters.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_cbc_cksum
|
|
produces an 8 byte checksum based on the input stream (via cbc encryption).
|
|
The last 4 bytes of the checksum is returned and the complete 8 bytes is
|
|
placed in
|
|
.I output.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_quad_cksum
|
|
returns a 4 byte checksum from the input bytes.
|
|
The algorithm can be iterated over the input,
|
|
depending on
|
|
.I out_count,
|
|
1, 2, 3 or 4 times.
|
|
If
|
|
.I output
|
|
is non-NULL,
|
|
the 8 bytes generated by each pass are written into
|
|
.I output.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_enc_write
|
|
is used to write
|
|
.I len
|
|
bytes
|
|
to file descriptor
|
|
.I fd
|
|
from buffer
|
|
.I buf.
|
|
The data is encrypted via
|
|
.I pcbc_encrypt
|
|
(default) using
|
|
.I sched
|
|
for the key and
|
|
.I iv
|
|
as a starting vector.
|
|
The actual data send down
|
|
.I fd
|
|
consists of 4 bytes (in network byte order) containing the length of the
|
|
following encrypted data. The encrypted data then follows, padded with random
|
|
data out to a multiple of 8 bytes.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_enc_read
|
|
is used to read
|
|
.I len
|
|
bytes
|
|
from file descriptor
|
|
.I fd
|
|
into buffer
|
|
.I buf.
|
|
The data being read from
|
|
.I fd
|
|
is assumed to have come from
|
|
.I des_enc_write
|
|
and is decrypted using
|
|
.I sched
|
|
for the key schedule and
|
|
.I iv
|
|
for the initial vector.
|
|
The
|
|
.I des_enc_read/des_enc_write
|
|
pair can be used to read/write to files, pipes and sockets.
|
|
I have used them in implementing a version of rlogin in which all
|
|
data is encrypted.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_rw_mode
|
|
is used to specify the encryption mode to use with
|
|
.I des_enc_read
|
|
and
|
|
.I des_end_write.
|
|
If set to
|
|
.I DES_PCBC_MODE
|
|
(the default), des_pcbc_encrypt is used.
|
|
If set to
|
|
.I DES_CBC_MODE
|
|
des_cbc_encrypt is used.
|
|
These two routines and the variable are not part of the normal MIT library.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_set_odd_parity
|
|
sets the parity of the passed
|
|
.I key
|
|
to odd. This routine is not part of the standard MIT library.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_is_weak_key
|
|
returns 1 is the passed key is a weak key (pick again :-),
|
|
0 if it is ok.
|
|
This routine is not part of the standard MIT library.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I crypt
|
|
is a replacement for the normal system crypt.
|
|
It is much faster than the system crypt.

The encryption routines have been tested on 16bit, 32bit and 64bit

|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
.PP
|
|
If you think this manual is sparse,
|
|
read the des_crypt(3) manual from the MIT kerberos (or bones outside
|
|
of the USA) distribution.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_cfb_encrypt
|
|
and
|
|
.I des_ofb_encrypt
|
|
operates on input of 8 bits. What this means is that if you set
|
|
numbits to 12, and length to 2, the first 12 bits will come from the 1st
|
|
input byte and the low half of the second input byte. The second 12
|
|
bits will have the low 8 bits taken from the 3rd input byte and the
|
|
top 4 bits taken from the 4th input byte. The same holds for output.
|
|
This function has been implemented this way because most people will
|
|
be using a multiple of 8 and because once you get into pulling bytes input
|
|
bytes apart things get ugly!
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_read_pw_string
|
|
is the most machine/OS dependent function and normally generates the
|
|
most problems when porting this code.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I des_string_to_key
|
|
is probably different from the MIT version since there are lots
|
|
of fun ways to implement one-way encryption of a text string.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The routines are optimised for 32 bit machines and so are not efficient
|
|
on IBM PCs.
|
|
.PP
|
|
NOTE: extensive work has been done on this library since this document
|
|
was origionally written. Please try to read des.doc from the libdes
|
|
distribution since it is far more upto date and documents more of the
|
|
functions. Libdes is now also being shipped as part of SSLeay, a
|
|
general cryptographic library that amonst other things implements
|
|
netscapes SSL protocoll. The most recent version can be found in
|
|
SSLeay distributions.
