Stallings_8e_Accessibl e_fullppt_06.pdf Cryptography and Network Security: Principles and Practice Eighth Edition Chapter 6 Advanced Encryption Standard Finite Field Arithmetic (1 of 2) • In the Advanced Encryption Standard (A E S) all operations are performed on 8-bit bytes • The arithmetic operations of addition, multiplication, and division are performed over the finite field G F(28) • A field is a set in which we can do addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division without leaving the set • Division is defined with the following rule: – a /b = a (b−1 ) • An example of a finite field (one with a finite number of elements) is the set Zp consisting of all the integers {0, 1, . . . . , p − 1}, where p is a prime number and in which arithmetic is carried out modulo p Finite Field Arithmetic (2 of 2) • If one of the operations used in the algorithm is division, then we need to work in arithmetic defined over a field – Division requires that each nonzero element have a multiplicative inverse • For convenience and for implementation efficiency we would like to work with integers that fit exactly into a given number of bits with no wasted bit patterns – Integers in the range 0 through 2n – 1, which fit into an n-bit word • The set of such integers, Z2 n, using modular arithmetic, is not a field – For example, the integer 2 has no multiplicative inverse in Z2 n, that is, there is no integer b, such that 2b mod 2n = 1 • A finite field containing 2n elements is referred to as G F(2n) – Every polynomial in G F(2n) can be represented by an n-bit number Figure 6.1

Structure (1 of 2) • Processes the entire data block as a single matrix during each round using substitutions and permutation • The key that is provided as input is expanded into an array of forty-four 32-bit words, w[i] • Four different stages are used: – Substitute bytes – uses an S-box to perform a byte-by- byte substitution of the block – ShiftRows – a simple permutation – MixColumns – a substitution that makes use of arithmetic over GF(28) – AddRoundKey – a simple bitwise X O R of the current block with a portion of the expanded key Detailed Structure (2 of 2) • The cipher begins and ends with an AddRoundKey stage • Can view the cipher as alternating operations of X O R encryption (AddRoundKey) of a block, followed by scrambling of the block (the other three stages), followed by X O R encryption, and so on • Each stage is easily reversible • The decryption algorithm makes use of the expanded key in reverse order, however the decryption algorithm is not identical to the encryption algorithm • State is the same for both encryption and decryption • Final round of both encryption and decryption consists of only three stages Figure 6.4 A E S Encryption Round Figure 6.5 A

cryptanalytic attacks • The Rijndael developers sought a design that has a low correlation between input bits and output bits and the property that the output is not a linear mathematical function of the input • The nonlinearity is due to the use of the multiplicative inverse Figure 6.7 A E S Row and Column Operations Table 6.3 Example Round Key Calculation Description Value i (decimal) 36 temp =

Paper For Above instruction

Cryptography, especially in the context of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), exemplifies the critical role of robust cryptographic algorithms in securing sensitive data. Introduced in 2001 by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), AES has become the foundation of modern secure communication due to its strong mathematical foundation and resistance to cryptanalytic attacks (Daemen & Rijmen, 2002). The structure and strength of AES lie primarily in its complex design, which incorporates multiple layers of transformation including byte substitution, row shifting, column mixing, and key addition.

One of the key features that contributes significantly to the strength of AES is its reliance on finite field arithmetic over GF(2^8). This approach allows for rigorous mathematical operations that produce non-linear transformations, essential for preventing linear cryptanalysis. Specifically, the substitution box (S-box) designed using multiplicative inverses in GF(2^8) ensures high non-linearity, making it extremely difficult for adversaries to reverse-engineer the encryption process (Daemen & Rijmen, 2002). This non-linearity, combined with the diffusion achieved through ShiftRows and MixColumns operations, ensures that each output bit depends on many input bits, effectively thwarting many cryptanalytic efforts.

Furthermore, AES’s key expansion process enhances security by producing a complex set of round keys derived from the initial key. The process incorporates Rcon constants and the SubWord and RotWord transformations, ensuring that the round keys are sufficiently nonlinear and resistant to differential cryptanalysis. The design choices, including the use of well-understood mathematical principles such as finite field theory, make AES resilient against known attacks, thereby providing a strong security posture (Daemen & Rijmen, 2002). Its efficient implementation on diverse hardware platforms further underscores its widespread adoption and trust in its cryptographic strength.

In conclusion, the robustness of AES stems from its intricate design based on finite field mathematics, non-linear S-boxes, and complex key scheduling. These features combine to create an encryption standard that is both secure and efficient, underpinning the confidentiality and integrity of digital communications globally. As cryptography continues to evolve, AES remains a benchmark for secure encryption, demonstrating the importance of strong mathematical foundations in developing resilient cryptographic algorithms.
