Title:
BLOCK ENCRYPTION DEVICE, BLOCK DECRYPTION DEVICE, BLOCK ENCRYPTION METHOD, BLOCK DECRYPTION METHOD AND PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/105367
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed are a block encryption device and a block encryption method that enable tweakable block encryption with tweaks of an indeterminate length, which possesses theoretical resistance to a birthday attack. A block encryption device is provided with: a keyed hash unit which generates an n-bit mask value S and an m-bit intermediate value V (where m is a positive integer less than n/2) by means of a keyed hash function using a key K2, and a b-bit tweak key T is entered when a block cipher has an n-bit block and an n-bit key and the tweak length is set to b bits; a tweak-dependent key derivation unit which, after the intermediate value V has been padded by n bits, uses a key K1 to encrypt the intermediate value V with an n-bit block cipher to generate an n-bit tweak-dependent key L; and a masked block encryption unit which, after the mask value S has been added to n-bit unencrypted information M, generates encrypted information C by encrypting with an n-bit block cipher using the tweak-dependent key L as a key, and adding the mask value S to the result.
