# N-ary m-sequence generator in Python

Maximum length sequences (or m-sequences) are bit sequences generated using maximal LFSRs (Linear Feedback Shift Registers) and are so called because they are periodic and reproduce every binary sequence that can be represented by the shift registers (i.e., for length-m registers they produce a sequence of length $2^{m}-1$). Although originally defined for binary sequences, the concept of m-sequence can be extended to sequences over $GF(n), n>2$.

Despite being deterministically generated, m-sequences have nice statistical properties, which resemble those of white noise (they are spectrally flat, with the exception of a near-zero constant term). For this reason, m-sequences are often referred to as pseudo random noise code (PN code). Unfortunately though, unpredictability is not among those properties (see below).

The configuration of the feedback taps in a binary LFSR can be expressed in finite field arithmetic as a polynomial in $GF(2^{n})$. The LFSR is maximal-length if and only if the corresponding feedback polynomial is primitive. The linear complexity (LC) of a given periodic sequence is the number of cells in the shortest LFSR that can generate that sequence. The correlation between two sequences is the complex inner product of the first sequence with a shifted version of the second sequence. It is called an autocorrelation if the two sequences are the same or a cross-correlation if they are distinct. Particularly interesting for spread spectrum application are sequences (not necessarily m-sequences) that exhibit low autocorrelation and low cross-correlation (the ideal correlation function would then be the Kronecker’s delta).

Apart from spread spectrum communications, m-sequences are used in a variety of areas including digital watermarking and cryptography. As m-sequences are derived from linear recurrence relations — which lead to fairly easy cryptanalysis — they must be processed by nonlinear functions in order to be used in cryptographic applications. A good example is Trivium, a 80-bit stream cipher that consists of three shift registers of different lengths.

# HMAC-SHA-256 implementation in Python 3

A hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) is an algorithm for generating a message authentication code (MAC), which can be used to verify both the integrity and the authentication of a given message. Although both constructs, HMAC and MAC, are based on a cryptographic hash function (such as SHA-1, Whirlpool or RIPEMD-160), the former requires a key (shared between the sender and the receiver of the message) while the latter doesn’t. The HMAC concept was proposed by Bellare, Canetti, and Krawczyk in 1996 and is described in RFC 2104.

As seen from its name, HMAC-SHA-256 uses as its engine the SHA-256 cryptographic hash function, which produces message digests of 256 bits in length. Like the other members of the SHA-2 family (and also MD-5 and SHA-1), SHA-256 is an iterative hash function (based on the Merkle–Damgård scheme) that works by breaking up the input message into blocks of a fixed size (512 bits for SHA-256) and iterating over them with a compression function.

# Validation of an AES-CFB implementation in Python 3

A symmetric block cipher such as AES (or Triple DES) operates on blocks of fixed size (128 bits for AES and 64 bits for TDES). It is possible, however, to convert a block cipher into a stream cipher using one of the three following modes: cipher feedback (CFB), output feedback (OFB), and counter (CTR). A stream cipher eliminates the need to pad a message to be an integral number of blocks and, for this reason, can operate in real time, making it the natural choice for encrypting streaming data (e.g. voice).

The Python code shown below implements the encryption and decryption operations for CFB-8 and CFB-128 modes. These functions rely on the “basic” AES mode (ECB) services provided by sundAES, an AES implementation in Python presented in a previous blog.

CFB8 encrypts (or decrypts) a single byte while CFB128 operates on a 16-byte block. Like the other stream modes (OFB and CTR), and differently from Electronic codebook (ECB) and Cipher block chaining (CBC) “block modes”, CFB dispenses padding and uses only the ECB encryption operation. This latter feature is very convenient for AES, since AES encryption and decryption operations are somewhat different.

The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) defines four types of Known Answer Test (KAT): GFSbox, KeySbox, Variable Key and Variable Text. The contents of file `CFB8GFSbox128.rsp` (see below) describe the GFSbox encryption and decryption tests cases for CFB8 using 128-bits AES keys.

# Validation of an AES implementation in Python 3

The Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP) defines validation testing for cryptographic algorithms approved by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). All of the tests under CAVP, established by NIST and its Canadian counterpart (CSEC) in 1995, are handled by accredited third-party laboratories.

To assist prospective vendors in checking their implementations, NIST provides electronic versions of the vectors for the Known Answer Test (KAT) for the three NIST-approved symmetric cryptographic algorithms: AES, Triple-DES, and Skipjack. Also available are sample values for the Monte Carlo (MCT) test and the Multiblock Message (MMT) test for the same algorithms, thus completing the set of tests a cryptographic implementation (dubbed “Implementation Under Test”) will face during a formal validation. A detailed account of the procedures involved in validating AES implementations can be found in the NIST document The Advanced Encryption Standard Algorithm Validation Suite (AESAVS).

The NIST KAT validation suite for AES contains 72 files describing test vectors for different AES modes of operation: ECB (Electronic Codebook), CBC (Cipher Block Chaining), CFB (Cipher Feedback) and OFB (Output Feedback). Besides this partition, there are also separated tests for AES encryption and decryption, exemplified by the abridged contents of the file `ECBKeySbox128.rsp` (see below).

These vectors can be used to informally verify the correctness of an AES implementation, such as the one presented below, which successfully passed all 4,156 KAT tests involving ECB and CBC modes. This Python code differs from the one already presented in a previous blog only with respect to the input/output types accepted: if the input plaintext (ciphertext) is of integer type, so will be the correspondent ciphertext (plaintext) output. This feature simplifies validation testing, since the integer plaintexts and ciphertexts usually employed in those scenarios can be deal with directly without any type conversion.

# AES-GCM implementation in Python 3

Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) is a mode of operation for symmetric key cryptographic block ciphers that provides authenticated encryption.

Proposed by David McGrew and John Viega in 2005, GCM is suited for high-speed secure computing and communication. Acknowledging this fact, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standardized GCM and its companion algorithm, Galois Message Authentication Code (GMAC), in 2007. The latter is an authentication-only variant of GCM which can be used as an incremental message authentication code (MAC). AES-GCM (the Advanced Encryption Algorithm operating in Galois/Counter Mode) has also been included in NSA Suite B Cryptography.

GCM’s confidentiality service is based on a variation of the Counter mode (CTR) while its authenticity assurance relies on a universal hash function defined over the binary Galois field $GF(2^{128})/x^{128}+x^7+x^2+x+1$.

GCM is defined for block ciphers with block sizes of 128, 192, and 256 bits (AES uses 128-bit blocks). Both GCM and GMAC can accept initialization vectors (IVs) of arbitrary length (AES and other symmetric ciphers, on the other hand, require IVs to be of the same size as the cipher’s block size).

Its interesting to note that Intel high-end CPUs support a special instruction, PCLMULQDQ, that computes the 128-bit product (the carry-less multiplication) of two 64-bit operands. This instruction can be used as a building block to perform the carry-less multiplication of two 128-bit operands required by GCM. The other step in GCM is reduction modulo the irreducible polynomial $x^{128}+x^7+x^2+x+1$, an operation that takes advantage of the PSRLD, PSLLD and PSHUFD instructions. Together with Intel’s Advanced Encryption Standard Instructions (AES-NI), these instructions allow GCM to offer authenticated encryption services at very high rates without using hardware-based solutions (e.g. FPGAs or ASICs). According to Intel, “an AES-GCM implementation based on the AES-NI and PCLMULQDQ instructions delivered a 400% throughput performance gain when compared to a non-AES-NI enabled software solution on the same platform.”

The Python code below implements AES-GCM using the AES implementation already presented and supports the three key sizes used by AES (128, 192 and 256 bits). All eighteen test cases proposed by McGrew & Viega were used to validate this implementation. Please note that this code is not of production quality.

After using Python in some small projects, my attention turned to a much more attractive language, Haskell. Haskell is a functional programming language with non-strict (“lazy”) semantics and strong static typing. It is relatively new (1990) and surprisingly well-defined, despite being created by a committee. The most popular Haskell compiler & interpreter, GHC (the Glasgow Haskell Compiler), is open-source software, available for Windows, Mac and Linux platforms.

The language is named after Haskell Brooks Curry, whose work in mathematical logic serves as a foundation for functional languages. Haskell and other functional languages are based on the lambda calculus which, according to the Church–Turing thesis, is as powerful as the Turing machine (that serves as a paradigm for imperative languages like C, C++, Java and others) for expressing computable functions.

Learning how to program in Haskell has been a rewarding experience for me. At some point, it reminded myself of a famous quote by Benjamin Whorf, “language shapes the way we think and determines what we can think about.” I will comment on my learning experience in Haskell in another post. For the moment, I would like to comment about the RC4 cryptographic algorithm and its implementation in Haskell. RC4 is a remarkably simple algorithm (already coded in Python in another post), and thus the obvious choice as the first cryptographic algorithm to be coded in a new programming language.

As the next box shows [1], it is possible to code the RC4 algorithm in less than ten lines of Haskell. The resulting code, although totally functional (no pun intended), definitely does not meet software quality standards, but does really show Haskell conciseness.

``````module Crypto.RC4 where
import Data.Char;import Data.Array
prga=prga' 0 0 where prga' i j s=let{i'=succ i`mod`256;j'=(s!i'+j)`mod`256;
s' = swap i' j' s;t = s'!((s!i'+s!j') `mod` 256)} in chr t : prga' i' j' s'
ksa k = ksa' 0 0 \$ array (0,255) [(i,i)|i<-[0..255]] where {ksa' 256 _ s=s;
ksa' i j s = let {i'= i `mod` length k; j' = (j+s!i+ord(k!!i')) `mod` 256}
in ksa' (succ i) j' (swap j' i s)}
swap i j s = if i /= j then s // [(i, s ! j), (j, s ! i)] else s
``````

The RC4 stream cipher algorithm

RC4, a variable key-size stream cipher with byte-oriented operations, is the most widely used stream cipher algorithm. It was designed by Ronald Rivest in 1987 for RSA Data Security (now RSA Security, a division of EMC²). RC4, also known as ARC4 [2], was kept as a trade secret until 1994, when it was posted anonymously to the cypherpunks mailing list.

RC4 creates a finite-state machine that uses a state array of 256 bytes. Initially, this array is set to the identity permutation (see pseudo-code below). The next step is performed by the Key Scheduling Algorithm (KSA), which traverses the state array swapping its elements based on the key, which size can be defined anywhere in the range of 40 to 2,048 bits [3]. As soon as KSA finishes its job, the key can be discarded since its contribution has been incorporated into the state array.

The state array is then ready for the Pseudo-Random Generation Algorithm (PRGA) to generate the stream cipher that will be xor’d with the plaintext (encryption) or with the ciphertext (decryption). Every time a byte is produced, the state array is permuted once more [4].

In the expanded version (see box below), the following aspects were changed:

• An extra module, `Data.Bits`, was imported to support the `xor` operation required by the `encrypt` function, absent in the first program, since it is not related to the RC4 algorithm itself (its task is just to combine the keystream generated by any stream cipher with the cleartext or ciphertext digits).
• Only external objects (functions, types, data and value constructors) effectively used were imported from modules `Data.Char, Data.Array` and `Data.Bits`.
• All top-level functions declared were assigned type signatures (those lines containing the double-colon operator). Although the Haskell compiler can (most of time) infer types automatically, it is strongly recommended to state them explicitly to assist the compiler in generating a more efficient code and to provide a better documentation.
• Curly braces and semi-colons were substituted for indentation to structure code (unlike Python, indentation is not compulsory in Haskell).
• A short descriptive comment was added to the four top-level functions (`encrypt, prga, ksa` and `swap`).

Let’s go over the code. Initially, the state array is created and set to the identity permutation, which is done by the expression (listed inside `ksa` body)

``array (0,255) [(i,i) | i<- [0..255]]``

which creates a value of the type `ArrayRC4` (which is a synonym for `Array Int Int`) with the help of the `array` function imported from the `Data.Array` module. This function requires two parameters: the array bounds and the array contents. The array bounds (the lowest and highest indices in the array) are expressed as the Haskell tuple `(0,255)`, while its contents are specified by a list of tuples of the form (index, value): `[(0,0),(1,1),(2,2)...(255,255)]`, that can be expressed much more concisely as a list comprehension: `[(i,i)|<-[0..255]]`.

Being Haskell a strong static typed language, every expression to be computed must have a well defined type during compilation time. Since indices and elements change places in both functions, `ksa` and `prga`, their types must be exactly the same, `Int` in this case. Although we haven’t explicitly declared the type of the array state, the Haskell compiler will infer it from the type declarations `ksa :: Key -> ArrayRC4` (which states that the function `ksa` produces an output of type `ArrayRC4`) and `ksa' 256 _ s = s` (which requires that `ksa'` last parameter to be of type `ArrayRC4`).

The `swap` function

``````-- Swap values of S[i] and S[j]
swap :: Index -> Index -> ArrayRC4 -> ArrayRC4
swap i j s = if i /= j then s // [(i, s ! j), (j, s ! i)] else s
``````

The `swap` function accepts two indices (of type `Index`, a synonym for `Int`) and the state array (of type `ArrayRC4`) as inputs and produces a new, updated state array after swapping the contents of the two specified array elements. Arrays of type `Data.Array.Array` (the only array type supported by Haskell 98) are, like any other pure functional data structures, immutables, so once created they cannot be changed, only queried. In order to do its job, `swap` uses the incremental array update infix operator, `//`, imported from the  `Data.Array` module. For example, an array `a` with an element `i` updated to value `v` is written `a//[(i,v)]`.

This array update is not very efficient (both in terms of time and memory), as a new copy of the array must be carried out before any changes can be applied. On the other hand, those arrays can be used in pure functional code [6]. The second operator imported from the `Data.Array` module is the array subscripting infix operator `!` (as an example, the expression `a!i` returns the value at index `i` of an array `a`).

The `ksa` function

``````-- Key Scheduling Algorithm (KSA)
ksa :: Key -> ArrayRC4
ksa k = ksa' 0 0 \$ array (0,255) [(i,i) | <- [0..255]]
where ksa' 256 _ s = s
ksa' i j s = let i' = i `mod` length k
j' = (j + s ! i + ord (k !! i')) `mod` 256
in ksa' (succ i) j' (swap j' i s)
``````

The `ksa` function accepts a key (of type `Key`, a synonym for `String`) as input and outputs the state array (of type `ArrayRC4`). Since there is no “loop” construction in Haskell, recursion is used instead. The `ksa` function just set the initial parameters for an auxiliary, recursive function, `ksa'`, that does the hard work, visiting every single element of the array state. Its parameters are `i` (first index and counter), `j` (second index) and `s` (the state array). The stop condition (otherwise the recursion will never stop) is met, via Haskell’s pattern match, when `i` is equal to 256.

• List subscripting is done by the infix operator `!!`, made available by the `Prelude` module (a standard module imported by default into all Haskell modules).
• If a function (or constructor) takes two or more arguments, like `mod`, it can be used in infix form by enclosing its name in backtick characters (``mod``).

The `prga` function

``````-- Pseudo-random generation algorithm (PRGA)
prga :: ArrayRC4 -> Stream
prga = prga' 0 0
where prga' i j s = let i' = succ i `mod` 256
j' = (s ! i' + j) `mod` 256
s' = swap i' j' s
t = chr \$ s' ! ((s ! i' + s ! j') `mod` 256)
in t : prga' i' j' s'
``````

The `prga` function accepts the initialized state array (of type `ArrayRC4`) as input and outputs the keystream (of type `Stream`, a synonym for `String`), represented in Haskell by a list of characters of (potentially) infinite length. This is no problem for non-strict languages like Haskell, Miranda and Clean. In particular, Haskell, and also Miranda, adopt the approach known as “lazy evaluation” (or “call-by-need”): an expression is evaluated only when its value is required.

The `encrypt` function

``````-- Encrypt (or decrypt) using RC4 keystream
encrypt :: Key -> String -> String
encrypt k c = map chr \$ zipWith xor (map ord (stream k)) (map ord c)
where stream k' = prga (ksa k')
``````

The `encrypt` function defines the encryption/decryption service interface: it accepts the key (of type `Key`) and the plaintext/ciphertext (of type `String`) and returns the ciphertext/plaintext (also of type `String`). It is interesting to examine how the expression below is evaluated.

``-- zipWith xor (map ord (stream k)) (map ord c)``

The `zipWith` function (exported by the Prelude module) accepts a binary function and two lists and produces a third list which elements are calculated applying the function to the elements occurring at the same position in both lists (in this particular case, the binary function is `xor`, and the three lists are of type `[Int]`). If the first two lists are of different length, the longer one is truncated to make them of the same size.

The first list, the keystream (represented as a list of integers), has potentially infinite length, while the second one, the cleartext/ciphertext (also represented as a list of integers), has finite length. Haskell’s lazy evaluation of this expression will demand from the `prga` function a keystream exactly as long as that of the cleartext or ciphertext being encrypted (decrypted).

The `Main` module

Since RC4 is a proprietary algorithm, there are no official test suite for validating RC4 implementations [5]. A quick check can be performed, however, using the unofficial test vectors available at Wikipedia.

The program below executes the three tests described at Wikipedia and a fourth that checks whether the `encrypt` function is an involution (a function that it is own inverse) testing a single point of its domain. The keys and plaintext shown in the code are ASCII while the keystream and ciphertext are in hexadecimal.

Note 1 – You will see no syntax highlighting in all boxes showing Haskell code because it is not a programming language supported by WordPress.com. Although Haskell is not particularly popular — it is in position #33 in the TIOBE Programming Community Index — other languages ranked worse than Haskell in the TIOBE index (Scala, Erlang, F#, Clojure, VB and Powershell) are indeed supported by WordPress.com.

Note 2 – The name RC4 is a trademark of RSA Security. For this reason, RC4 is often referred to as ARCFOUR or ARC4 (alleged RC4) to avoid trademark problems. RSA Security has never officially released the algorithm.

Note 3 – Until 2000, when the U.S. government relaxed export regulations on cryptography, only encryption software with keys up to 40 bits could be exported by U.S. companies. While this lower limit is just a convention, the upper one is real: if the key is greater than 2,048 bits (which happens to be 8 x 256), the excess bytes will be just dropped by the KSA.

Note 4 – An interesting RC4 tutorial with animation is available at Marc Loiseau’s blog).

Note 5 – Haskell libraries with other, more complex, implementations of arrays – but which have far more features – are available, some of which are mutable and/or strict.

Note 6 – As RSA was the sole primary vendor of cryptographic kits that include implementations of RC4, which was not an approved algorithm for use by the U.S. government, there was no (strong) demand for a test suite for validating RC4 implementations.

# Simplified AES implementation in Python

Simplified AES, created by Edward Schaefer and two of his students at Santa Clara University in 2003, is described in the paper “A Simplified AES Algorithm and Its Linear and Differential Cryptoanalyses”, Cryptologia, Vol. XXVII (2), pages 148-177. Like Simplified DES, its purpose is educational, since its key and block size are very small (16-bit and 8-bit, respectively). Nonetheless, due to its simplicity, it is possible for students to encrypt or decrypt a block doing all operations by hand, making it easier for them to understand the structure and operation of its elder brother, AES.
