BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for efficient implementation of data permutation and division processing in the field of cryptography and a recording medium with a data permutation/division program recorded thereon.
Data encryption is intended to conceal data. Data encryption techniques fall into a common key cryptosystem and a public key cryptosystem.
The public key cryptosystem uses different keys for data encryption and for decryption; usually, the encryption key is made public and the decryption key is held by a user in secrecy. It is believed that the description key could not be derived from the encryption key within a practical amount of time even with modern mathematical theories and the computing power of the present-day computer.
On the other hand, the common key cryptosystem uses the same key for data encryption and decryption. To implement a fast and secure common key cipher, there is proposed a block encipherment scheme that divides data to be enciphered into blocks of an appropriate length and enciphers them one by one. Many of the block ciphers have a structure called a Feistel network. With this structure, an input of 2n bits is divided to right and left pieces of n-bit data, a function f is operated on the right n-bit data, then its output is exclusive ORed with the left n-bit data, then the right and left pieces of data are swapped, and the same operation is repeated. This structure is shown in “Bruce Schneier, Applied Cryptography, 2nd edition, John-Wiley and Sons, p347, 1996.”
The common key cryptosystem is smaller in computational complexity than the public key cryptosystem, and the amount of data that can be encrypted per unit time in the former cryptosystem is tens to hundreds of times larger than in the latter cryptosystem. For this reason, there are tendencies to use the common key cryptosystem when fast encryption processing is necessary.
The common key cryptosystem is required to have security against cryptanalysis as well as the above-mentioned high-speed performance. In recent years there have been proposed several methods of cryptanalysis for common key encryption algorithms. It is necessary, therefore, that a common key encryption algorithm to be newly developed be always secure against such cryptanalysis methods. These cryptanalysis methods are described, for example, in “Bruce Schneier, Applied Cryptography, 2nd edition, John-Wiley and Sons, pp.285-293, 1996.”
There have also been studied schemes that would not allow easy application of the cryptanalysis methods, and it can be expected that such preventive schemes will increase the security of the common key encryption algorithm. According to one of such preventive schemes, a value of some kind available from an encryption key is exclusive ORed with input and output data so as to protect the input and output data for the basic encryption algorithm from an attacker. This scheme is described in “Bruce Schneier, Applied Cryptography, 2nd edition, John-Wiley and Sons, pp.366-367, 1996.” Many of common key encryption algorithms proposed in recent ears are designed using this scheme.
With the above scheme, the input data exclusive ORed with the value of some kind available from the encryption key is used as input data of the basic encryption algorithm. In the case of using the afore-mentioned Feistel network, the input data needs to be divided to right and left data. Some of recently developed common key encryption algorithms are intended to provide increased security not only by dividing the input data to right and left but also by dividing the input data to right and left even after permutation. An example of such algorithms is an E2 cipher (Masayuki KANDA, et al., “A New 128-bit Block Cipher E2,” Technical Report of IEICE, ISEC98-12 (hereinafter referred to simply as literature E2). In the E2 algorithm, a permutation processing called a BP function is defined and then the input data is divided to right and left for input into the Feistel network.
FIG. 1 depicts a basic configuration of an E2 cryptographic device, in which no key scheduling part is shown for brevity. The E2 cryptographic device is made up of an initial transformation part 10, twelve round processing stages RND1 to RND12, and a final transformation part 30. The size of each key is, for instance, 128-bit. The initial transformation part 10 comprises: an XOR operation part 11 that exclusive ORs an input plaintext M of, for example, 128 bits with a subkey k13; a multiplication part 12 that calculates the product of the output from the XOR operation part 11 and a subkey k14; and a byte permutation part (hereinafter referred to as a BP function part) 13 that performs byte permutation of the multiplied output from the multiplication part 12. To increase the operation efficiency, setting the computation size of a CPU of the computer used, for example, at 32 bits, the operation is carried out for each of four 32-bit subblocks divided from the 128-bit data.
The initial transformation part (hereinafter referred to as an IT function part) 10 performs the following operation for an input X=M using the subkeys k13 and k14.

A=IT(X,k13,k14)  (1) 

More specifically, letting

X=(x1,x2,x3,x4) 

Y═(Y1,Y2, Y3,Y4) 

Z=(z1,z2,z3,z4) 

the following operation is performed by the XOR operation part 11 and the multiplication part 12.

Z=(X⊕k13)k14=Yk4  (2) 

In the above, if k14=(K1, K2, K3, K4), the multiplication Yk14 by the multiplication part 12 is performed as follows:

zi=yi(Ki1(hex))mod 232 for i=1, 2, 3, 4  (3) 

The operation symbol ab represents the OR of a and b for every corresponding bit. Setting

(zi(1),zi(2), zi(3),zi(4))=zi for i=1, 2, 3, 4  (4) 

Z′=(z1′,z2′,z3′, z4′) 

The operation processing of the BP function part 13 is expressed by the following equation:

zi′=(z′i(1),z′i+1(2),zi+2(3),z′i+3(4)), i=1, 2, 3, 4  (5) 

where

z′i+4(j)=z′i(j), j=1, 2, 3, 4  (6) 

where i represents the subblock number for each 32 bits and j the data number of each byte in the subblock. In FIG. 3 there are shown permutations expressed by Eqs. (5) and (6). The four bytes of each piece of data z1, z2, z3 and z4 are distributed to four different output data groups.

The output from the byte permutation part (that is, the BP function part) 13 is divided to right data R0 and left data L0, which are provided to the round processing stage RND1. The i-th round processing stage RNDi performs substitution-permutation processing of right data Ri−1 in a round function part 22 by using a subkey ki, and provides the substitution result to an XOR operation part 21, wherein it is exclusive ORed with left data Li−1, fed thereto. The right data Ri−1 input to the i-th stage and the output from the XOR operation part 21 are exchanged in position, and they are provided as left data Li and right data Ri to the next round processing stage RNDi+1, This is expressed as follows:

Ri=Li−1⊕F(Ri−1,ki)  (7) 

L1=Ri−1, i=1, 2, . . . , 12  (8) 

Each round function part 22 comprises, as depicted in FIG. 2, eight XOR operation parts 22×1, eight S-boxes (S function) 22S1, a linear permutation part (a P function part) 22P, eight XOR operation parts 22×2, and eight S-boxes 22S2. 64-bit right data R is input to the i-th round processing stage RNDI. In the round function part 22, setting the input R1.

Ri−1=(r1,r2, r3, r4,r5r6,r7,r8) 

ki=(K(1),K(2))=(K1(1), K2(1), . . . K8(1),K1(2),K2(2), . . . K8(2)) 

the outputs from the S-boxes 22S1 is given by the following equation:

(u1u2, . . . u8)=(s(r1⊕K1(1)),s(r2⊕K2(1)), . . . , s(r8⊕K8(1))  (9) 

The output from the linear permutation part 22P can be expressed as follows:

u′1=u2⊕u3⊕u4⊕u5⊕u6⊕u7 

u′2=u1⊕u3⊕u4⊕u6⊕u7⊕u8 

u′3=u1⊕u2⊕u4⊕u5⊕u7⊕u8 

u′4=u1⊕u2⊕u3⊕u5⊕u6⊕u8 

u′5=u1⊕u2⊕u4⊕u5u6 

u′6=u1⊕u2⊕u3⊕u6u7 

u′7=u2⊕u3⊕u4⊕u7u8 

u′8=u1⊕u3⊕u4⊕u5u8  (10) 

The outputs from the S-boxes 22S2 are expressed by the following equation:

(v1,v2,v3,v4,v5,v6,v7,v8)=(s(u′1⊕K1(2)),s(u′2⊕K2(2)), . . . , s(u′8⊕K8(2))  (11) 

These outputs are subjected to byte rotation and then output from the round function part 22.

In the case of FIG. 1, twelve such round processing stages are cascade-connected, and left and right data L12 and R12 output from the 12-th round processing part RND12 are concatenated into 128-bit data, which is fed to a BP−1 function part 31 of the final transformation part 30.
The final transformation part 30 obtains, as a ciphertext X=C, X==FT(Z′, k15, k16) from the input thereto Z′=(z1′, z2′, z3′, z4′) and keys k15, k16. More specifically, the BP−1 function part 31 performs inverse processing of the BP function part 13 by the following equation to obtain the output Z.

(z′i(1),z′i(2),z′i(3),z′i(4)=z′i, i=1, 2, 3, 4 

zi=(z′i(1),z′i−1(2),z′i−2(3),z′i−3(4) i=1, 2, 3, 4  (12) 

where

z′i−4(j)=z′i(j) j=1, 2, 3, 4  (13) 

Z=(z1z2,z3,z4) 

The output Z is provided to a division part 32, which performs the division of the following equation using a subkey k 15=(K1,K2,K3,K4).

yi=zi(Ki1(hex))−1mod 232, i=1, 2, 3, 4  (14) 

A variable in Eq. (14) is zi alone. Hence, it is possible to provide increased efficiency of calculation to precalculate and prestore the value of an inverse element Gi=(Ki1(hex))−1 mod 232 in a memory, since the stored value can be used to calculate yi=ziGi mod 232 for each input data zi. The calculation result Y=(y1,y2,y3,y4) is exclusive ORed with a subkey k16 in an XOR operation part 33 by the following equation, and the resulting output X is provided as the ciphertext C.

C=X=Y⊕k16  (15) 

FIG. 3 depicts the input/output relationship by the byte permutation using the BP functions expressed by Eqs. (5) and (6). As shown, the four pieces of 4-byte data z1, z2, z3 and z4 are rearranged on a bytewise basis to obtain the four pieces of 4-byte data z1′, z2′, z3′ and Z4′. Conventionally, this byte permutation is implemented by performing the operation expressed by the following equation:

z1′=(z1ff000000)(z200ff0000)(z30000ff00)(z4000000ff) 

z2′=(z2ff000000)(z300ff0000)(z40000ff00)(z2000000ff) 

z3′=(z3ff000000)(z400ff0000)(z10000ff00)(z2000000ff) 

z4′=(z4ff000000)(z100ff0000)(z20000ff00)(z3000000ff)  (16) 

where the symbol  represents the AND for each bit and the symbol  the OR for each bit and “f” and “0” are hexadecimal values. This operation is performed as depicted in FIG. 4. For the sake of brevity, the entire data Z=z1(j) (where i=1, 2, 3, 4; j=1, 2, 3, 4) is represented by a sequence of data a0, a1, . . . a15. For example, 4-byte data z1 of a register RG1 and 4-byte mask data MD1 of a mask register MRG1 are ANDed to obtain z1ff000000, which is stored in a register RG1′. Then, the AND of data z and mask data MD2, z200ff000, is calculated and is ORed with the data read out of the register RG1′, and the OR thus obtained is overwritten on the register RG1′. By performing the same processing for mask data MD3 and MD4 as well, the data z1′ is provided in the register RG1′. The same calculation processing as described above is also carried out for the data z2′, z3′ and z4′ by Eq. (16). Thus the byte permutation results are obtained in registers RG1′ to RG4′. In the implementation of this calculation scheme, there have been pointed out such problems as mentioned below. That is, the processing by the BP function is byte—byte permutation processing, but a one-word register built in recent CPUs involves masking and shift operations, and hence it consumes much processing time. And, even if the permutation can be made after the ORs are once copied to a memory, the time for memory access inevitably increases, resulting in the processing time increasing. These problems constitute an obstacle to the realization of high-speed performance of the common key cryptosystem.

In the division part 32 in FIG. 1 a precalculated inverse element can be used. In general, it is possible to utilize, for the execution of an inverse element calculation to modulus N, an extended Euclidian algorithm set forth, for instance, in Okamoto and Ohta, coeditors, “Cipher/Zero Knowledge Proof/Number Theory,” Kyouritsu Shuppan, 1995) pp.120-121. In the case of Eq. (14), however, since the modulus has a special form of 2m, the inverse element can efficiently be calculated by the use of a Hensel Lifting method (a natural method of raising the root of a polynomial from mod bm to mod bm+1). In the calculation of the inverse element with software, when m is about one word length, a Zassenhaus's proposed method which is a quadratic version of the Hensel Lifting (H. Zassenhaus, “On Hensel Factorization, I,” Journal of number theory, vol. 1, pp.291-311, 1969) is effective because the word multiplication is relatively fast on recent CPUs.
Letting the input be represented by x, the output by y and auxiliary or temporary variables by a and b and letting [α]represent a Gauss symbol (the maximum integer which does not exceed x), the Zassenhaus method provides an algorithm for calculating an inverse y=x−1 mod 2m as given below assuming that the bit position is given 0 as the least significant bit and that the bit lengths of x, y, a and b are m, where m=2n(n≧1):
Step 1: Input x.
Step 2: Initialize y:=1 and b:=[x/2]
Step 3: Do the following for i=0, 1, . . . , n−1

    
    
        1. Set a as low-order 2i bits of y×(22i 13 (low-order 2i bits of b)).
        2. Pad 2i-th to (2i+1−1)-th bits of y with low-order 2i bits of a.
        3. Store 2i-th to (2n−2i−1)-th bits of xa+b in b.
    
    


Step 4: Output y.
This bit processing is such as shown in FIG. 5, in which the contents of the register having stored therein the output y for state changes of i are represented by binary numbers.
“1” indicates bits whose value is always 1, “.” calculated bits, and “?” unknown bits. In the result with i=2 calculated using i=1, fourth to seventh bits are determined. To arrange data in the fourth to seventh bits will hereinafter be referred to as “padding.”
The configuration of the RSA cipher, which is a typical public key cryptosystem, is described, for example, in the above-mentioned literature “Cipher/Zero Knowledge Proof/Number Theory,” p.220. The RSA cipher requires a power calculation over Z/NZ, that is, what is called a modular exponentiation. For fast execution of this modular exponentiation, it is effective to use the Montgomery modular arithmetic algorithm introduced in the above-mentioned literature on pages 179-181. The execution of the Montgomery modular arithmetic algorithm involves an inverse calculation in mod 2m using m as a natural number.
The above-mentioned Zassenhaus scheme involves bitwise processing such as extraction and padding of low-order 2i bits and, in the case of software implementation, the masking operation increases, and hence efficiency is not so high.
The round function part 22 of the round processing stage depicted in FIG. 2 is formed by a combination of the substitution by the S function part 22S1 and the permutation by the P function part 22P.
The substitution-permutation is a concept of a considerably broad meaning. To meet a demand for software implementation in recent years, there has widely been used the substitution-permutation in the following form:

and the substitution is set to sj:(R→R=1, 2, . . . , n). That is, the product of the matrix is considered as permutation.

The substitution-permutation expressed by Eq. (17) is also used in the cipher SHARK that is defined in V. Rijmen, et al. “The Cipher SHARK,” ,Fast Software Encryption-Third International Workshop, Lecture Notes in Computer Science 1039, pp. 99-111, Springer-Verlag 1996 (hereinafter referred to simply as Literature S). In Literature S there is also described a method in which the following modified equation is used

When the size of the element in R is smaller than the word length that is the operation unit in the computer used, it is necessary in straightforward implementation that the calculation of individual values of sj(xj) be followed by shifting them to their correct vector positions. In this instance, the necessity for the data position adjustment process can be avoided by Modifying Eq. (21) to

as is the case with Eq. (17) and by precalculating a table in which the positions of vector elements have been adjusted so that 0s would be provided except at the j-th position.

The calculation for the substitution and permutation described in Literature S is disadvantageous in that it involves a large number of memory references and requires a large memory capacity.
As described previously, letting the input data be (u1, u2, . . . , u8) and the output data b (u1′, u2′, . . . , u8′), the P function part 22P in the cipher E2 shown in FIG. 2, for instance, performs an operation using the product expressed by the following equation.

This operation is expressed merely as the product of a matrix and is the same as Eq. (10). In an environment where a permutation operation using masked data or a permutation operation using a bit shift or cyclic shift is possible by processing every 32 bits, the required number of processing steps is small, and hence fast processing can be achieved. However, since such operation processing cannot be performed in a hardware environment formed by an 8-bit accumulator type CPU, a small number of registers and a small amount of memory capacity as in the case of a low-end smart card, the operation of Eq. (10) needs to be executed successively, and hence high-speed processing is difficult to perform.

    
    


The following description will be given on the assumption that in an implementation environment formed by one 8-bit accumulator, a small number of registers and a small amount of memory, the input data (u1,u2, . . . , u8) is stored in the memory and is read out therefrom, and the permutation output data u1′,u2′, . . . , u8′ is calculated and stored in the memory; the computational complexity in this instance is evaluated. The evaluation is made in terms of the number of times an addition/subtraction is performed, the number of times the memory is written and the number of times the memory is read. And let it be assumed that the permutation operation is performed by calculating Eq. (23) using the above-mentioned matrix P.
Conventional scheme 1: If the permutation operation of Eq. (23) is carried out as defined, then Eq. (10) needs to be calculated successively. The computational complexity in this case is as follows:

    
    
        Number of additions/subtractions: 36
        Number of memory reads: 44
        Number of memory writes: 8

With this scheme, the number of memory reads is equal to the total number of elements of the matrix P which have a “1” component. Accordingly, the computational complexity increases with an increase in the number of elements whose components are “1s”.

    
    


Conventional scheme 2: In Literature E2 there is described, as the permutation scheme using the matrix P, a scheme that uses GF(28) as the ring R and calculates the following equations.

The computational complexity of this scheme is as follows:

    
    
        Number of additions/subtractions: 16
        Number of memory reads: 32
        Number of memory writes: 16
    
    


This scheme is more effective than scheme 1 in the case where the number of registers used is large and addition instructions are orthogonal (the addition instructions can be executed for all the registers). However, this scheme has such disadvantages such listed below.

    
    
        (a) Since the scheme essential utilizes that the characteristic of R is 2, it cannot be used when the characteristic is not 2.
        (b) Since a large number of registers cannot be used, this scheme is not always efficient in some implementation environments.
        (c) The computational complexity depends largely on the component configuration of the matrix P.
    
    


Conventional scheme 3: When the number of “1” components is large as in the case of the matrix P, the following calculation scheme can be used.

σ=u1+u2+u3+u4+u5+u6+u7+u8 

u1′=σ−u1−u8 

u2′=σ−u2−u5 

u3′=σ−u3−u6

u7′=σ−u1−u5−u6

The computational complexity of this scheme is as follows:

    
    
        Number of additions/subtractions: 27
        Number of memory reads: 36
        Number of memory writes: 9
    
    


This scheme is more efficient than scheme 1 when the number of elements of the matrix P having the “1” component accounts for more than 60% of the total number of elements.
In any of the above conventional schemes, the efficiency of the permutation by the matrix P depends on how {0, 1} components of the matrix P are distributed; in particular, the computational complexity is determined by the rate at which the elements of the “1” component are present. That is, there is a possibility that scheme 1 or 3 becomes efficient according to the configuration of the matrix P; hence, these schemes are not versatile. Which of these schemes becomes more efficient depends on whether the number of elements of the matrix P having the “1” component is more than 60% of the total number of elements.
To implement secure permutation that can be used in cryptography, it is desirable that the rates of “0” and “1” components in the matrix P be well balanced. For example, in the case of the above matrix P used for the permutation in the cipher E2, the elements of the “1” component is about 2⁄3 of the total number of matrix elements. Since this value is close to the point of determining which scheme becomes more efficient, schemes 1 to 3 are almost common in the number of times the memory is read. This means that these conventional schemes produce substantially no effects of increasing the processing speed, because reading from or writing to the memory is several times lower in speed than addition and subtraction; therefore, the implementation of any of the schemes will not answer the intended purpose of faster permutation operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Embodiment 1
A description will be given first of the procedure by the present invention which facilitates the operation in the byte permutation part, that is, the BP function part 13 in FIG. 1 in the cipher E2. In the following description, 16 pieces of input k-bit byte data will be identified as a0, a1, . . . , a15, and permutated output data as A1,A2,A3,A4. The BP function part 13 is supplied with 16 pieces of 1-byte input data a0, a1, . . . , a15 and outputs byte-permutated data as right and left data. In this embodiment the arrangement of output data is appropriately chosen and the permutation for rearranging the data as chosen is performed by a procedure involving a smaller number of steps than in the prior art.
In this embodiment, the four pieces of data {a4i+j} (where 0≦j≦3) are stored as a4i+0, a4i+1, a4i+2, a4i+3 in each 4k-bit register Ti (where i=0, 1, 2, 3) shown in FIG. 8; the four pieces of data are included in 16 pieces of k-bit data {a4i+j} (where 0≦i≦3, 0≦j≦3) which are input into the BP function part 13 (FIG. 1). The data stored in this form will hereinafter be described as follows:

Ti=[a4i+0a4i+1a4i+2a4i+3]  (24) 

The left data set [L] and the right data set [R] at the output of the BP function part 13 are defined in the cipher E2 as follows:

This embodiment also performs the permutation and division of data accordingly. Incidentally, in the specification of the cipher E2, it does not matter even if the right and left data sets differ in the order of 8-byte data; hence, in the present invention, the order of data in either of the right and left data sets is chosen as to achieve the intended reduction of the computational complexity in the permutation using masking operations and in the permutation using shift operations.

The input 16-byte data a0,a1 . . . ,a15 is rearranged not on such a byte-by-byte basis as depicted in FIG. 3 but, for example, every two bytes as depicted in FIG. 6 or 7. This permits reduction of procedure steps as described below.
In this embodiment, 1 byte is k-bit and k can be implemented by an arbitrary integer; but k is set at 8 for the sake of brevity. In the following description, let it be assumed that pieces of data “O” and “I” represent binary numbers “00000000” and “11111111,” respectively. They will also be denoted by “00” and “ff” in the hexadecimal notation.
FIG. 8 depicts the procedure by which the byte permutation shown in FIG. 6 is performed using mask data. The registers T0, T1, . . . , T3 are 4k-bit long registers, which are used to permute and divide 16 pieces of k-bit data {a4i+j} (0≦i≦3, 0≦j≦3) into a set {a4(i+j mod 4)+j} (0≦i≦1, 0≦j≦3) and a set {a4(i+j mod 4)+j} (2≦i≦3, 0≦j≦3) as described below.
Step 1: Data {a4i+j} (i=0, 1, 2, 3; j=0, 1, 2, 3) is stored in each register Ti. Data (O, a1a, a2, O) obtained by ANDing the value (a0,a1,a2,a3) of the register T0 and mask data MD0=(23k−2k)=(O, I, I, O) of a mask register M{overscore (R)}G0 is stored in a register T0′; data (a8, O, O, a11) obtained by ANDing the value (a8,a9,a10,a11) of the register T2 and mask data MD2=(24k−23k+2k−1)=(I, O, O, I) of a mask register MRG2 is stored in a register T2′; and the value (a8,a1,a2,a11) obtained by ORing the values of the registers T0′ and T2′ is stored in a register T4.
Step 2: Data (O, O, a6, a7) obtained by ANDing the value (a4,a5,a6,a7) of the register T1 and mask data MD1=(22k−1)=(O, O, I, I) of a mask register MRG1 is stored in a register T1′; data (a12, a13, O, O) obtained by ANDing the value (a12,a13,a14,a15) of the register T3 and mask data MD3=(24k−22k)=(I, I, O, O) of a mask register MRG3 is stored in a register T3′; and the value (a12,a13,a6,a7) obtained by ORing the values of the registers T1′ and T3′ is stored in a register T5.
Step 3: Data (a0, O, O, a3) obtained by ANDing the value (a0,a1,a2,a3) of the register T0 and mask data (24k−23k+2k−1)=(I, O, O, I) of a mask register MRG0′ is stored in a register T0′′; data (O, a9, a10, O) obtained by ANDing the value (a8,a9,a10,a11) of the register T2 and mask data (23k−2k)=(O, I, I, O) of a mask register MRG2′ is stored in a register T2′′; and the OR (a0,a9,a10,a3) of the values of the registers T0′′ and T2′′ is stored in a register T6.
Step 4: Data (a4, a5, O, O) obtained by ANDing the value (a4,a5,a6,a7) of the register T1 and mask data (24k−22k)=(I, I, O, O) of a mask register MRG1′ is stored in a register T1′′; data (O, O, a14, a15) obtained by ANDing the value (a12,a13,a14,a15) of the register T4 and mask data (22k−1)=(O, O, I, I) of a mask register MRG3′ is stored in a register T3′′; and the OR (a4,a5,a14,a15) of the values of the registers T1′′ and T3′′ is stored in a register T7.
Step 5: The pieces of data of the two register groups T6-T7 and T4-T5 are output as left and right pieces of data.
The permutation processing using mask data as described above can be expressed
by the following logical operation, in which the data is represented in hexadecimal.

A1=(z1ff0000ff)(z300ffff00) 

A2=(z2ffff0000)(z40000ffff) 

A3=(z3ff000ff)(z100ffff00) 

A4=(z4ffff0000)(z20000ffff)  (26) 

As is evident from the above equation, the numbers of AND and OR operations using mask data involved in obtaining the permuted outputs A1,A2,A3,A4 are eight and four, which are smaller than in the prior art example described previously with reference to Eq. (16).

FIG. 9 depicts the procedure for the permutation shown in FIG. 7. In the FIG. 7 example, too, each piece of 4-byte data is rearranged in units of two bytes. This permutation is carried out as depicted in FIG. 9 using, for instance, shift and cyclic shift (i.e., rotation) techniques.
Each register Ti is 4k-bit long and k=8 in this example, too. This is a data permutation-division method which permute and divide 16 pieces of k-bit data {a4i+j} (0≦i≦3, 0≦j≦3) into a set {a4i+j mod 4)+j} (0≦i≦1, 0≦j≦3) and a set {a4(i+j mod 4)+j} (2≦i≦3, 0≦j≦3).
Step 1: The data {a4i+j} (0≦i≦3, 0≦j≦3) is stored in each register Ti(i=0, 1, 2, 3).
Step 2: The values of (a0,a1,a2,a3) and (a8,a9,a10,a11) of the registers T0 and T2 are rotated k-bit in one direction, in this example, to right.
Step 3: The registers T0 and T2 are concatenated into an apparently 8k-bit long register T0′; its data is shifted left 2k bits and then 4k-bit data (a1,a2,a11,a8) extracted from the register at the end in the shift direction is stored in the register T4. The registers T1 and T3 are concatenated into an apparently 8k-bit long register T2′; its data is shifted left 2k bits and then 4k-bit data (a6,a7,a12,a13) extracted from the register at the end in the shift direction is stored in the register T5.
Step 4: The registers T2 and T0 are concatenated into an apparently 8k-bit long register T0′′; its data is shifted right 2k bits and then 4k-bit data (a9,a10,a3,a0) extracted from the register at the end in the shift direction is stored in the register T6. The registers T3 and T1 are concatenated into an apparently 8k-bit long register T2′′; its data is shifted right 2k bits and then 4k-bit data (a14,a15,a4,a5) extracted from the register at the end in the shift direction is stored in the register T7.
Step 5: The pieces of data A1, A2 and A3, A4 of the two register groups T6-T7 and T4-T5 are output as left and right pieces of data.
In the example of FIG. 9, the same results are obtained irrespective of the shift direction in steps 3 and 4. When the direction of rotation is reversed in step 2, the resulting pieces of data are the same as in the case where the contents of the registers T4 and T6 are exchanged, thus achieving similar permutation-division.
The processing depicted in FIG. 9 can be expressed by the following operation, in which the following definitions are used.

x<<b: b-bit left shift of x 

x>>b: b-bit right shift of x 

ROL(x,y)=(x<<b)(x>>(w−k)), where w is the number of bits of x. 

ROR(x,b)=(x>>b)(x<<(w−b)), where w is the number of bits of x. 

SHLD(x,y,b)=(x<<b)(y>>(w−b)), where w is the number of bits of y. 

SHRD(x,y,b)=(x>>b)(y<<(w−b)), where w is the number of bits of 

A1=SHRD(ROR(z3,k),ROR(z1,k),2k) 

A2=SHRD(z4,z2,2k) 

A3=SHLD(ROR(z1,k),ROR(z3,k),2k) 

A4=SBLD(z2,z4,2k)  (27) 

With this method, the permuted results A1,A2,A3,A4 obtained by two cyclic shifts and four concatenated shifts.

The byte permutation could also be performed by the combined use of the first-mentioned method (utilizing mask data) and the second-mentioned method (utilizing bit shift and cyclic shift). For example, in the first method, the second method may be used to calculate A2 and A4 in Eq. (26) by the following equation:
ti A2=SHRD(z4,z2,2k)

A4=SHLD(z2,z4,2k)  (28) 

Also it is possible to use the second method to calculate A1 and A3 in Eq. (26) by the following equation:

A1=SHRD(ROR(z3,k),ROR(z1,k),2k) 

A3=SHLD(ROR(z3,k),ROR(z3,k),2k)  (29) 

Conversely, in the method using Eq. (27), the first method may also be used to calculate A2 and A4 by the following equation:

A2=(z40000ffff)(z2fff0000)=(a4,a5,a14,a15) 

A4=(z20000ffff)(z4ffff0000)=(a12,a13,a6,a7)  (30) 

It is also possible to use the first method to calculate A1 and A3 in Eq. (27) by the following equation:

A1=(z300ffff00)(z1ff0000ff)=(a0,a9,a10,a3) 

A3=(z100ffff00)(z3ff0000ff)=(a8,a1,a2,a11)  (31) 

The above byte permutation method is also applicable to the BP−1 function part (FIG. 1) that performs inverse processing. For example, when the permutation shown in FIG. 6 is performed in the BP function part 13, the inverse processing needs only to be carried out by the following equation:

z1=(A1ff0000ff)(A300ffff00) 

z2=(A2fff0000)(A40000ffff) 

z3=(A3ff0000ff)(A100ffff00) 

z4=(A4ffff0000)(A20000ffff)  (32) 

Similarly, when the permutation of FIG. 7 has been carried out, the inverse processing is done by the following equation:

z1=ROL(SHLD(A1,A3,2k),k) 

z2=SHLD(A2,A4,2k) 

z3=ROL(SHRD(A1,A3,2k),k) 

z4=SHD(A2,A4,2k)  (33) 

All of the ORs in the above-described first embodiment may also be replaced with additions or XORs.
FIG. 10 illustrates in block form the BP function part 13 that performs the permutation depicted in FIG. 8 or 9. A control part 131 controls respective processing parts following a byte permutation execution program prestored in a memory 130. In an input data storage part 135 there is held input data {a4i+j} (0≦i≦3, 0≦j≦3), which is set in registers T0 to T3 in a register part 134 of an operation processing part 132 under the control of the control part 131. The control part 131 follows the permutation executing program to issue register data shift and rotation instructions to predetermined registers SH and RO, controls the data transfer between each shift register and a logical operation part 133, and issues to the latter operation instructions for ORing, ANDing and other logical operations and an instruction for the use of mask data of the mask register MRG in such logical operations. The permuted data is transferred from registers T4, T5, T6 and T7 of the register part 134 to an output data storage part 136, from which it is output as right and left data.
As depicted in FIG. 3, according to the specification of the cipher E2, the 4 bytes retained in each register of the input part will each be distributed to one of the four registers of the output part when the input data to the BP function part is stored in units of 4 bytes in the four registers from left to right. In the case of an instruction which is used to perform an operation for one register and store therein the operation result as in ordinary MPUs, only one byte can be processed for one instruction; hence, at least 16 instructions are needed to perform the permutation depicted in FIG. 3. In practice, more than 16 instructions are required to perform masking, ORing and other logical operations.
It is considered that 16 instructions may sometimes be enough when each byte of the registers is used directly as an instruction; in this case, however, some MPUs incur a penalty attributable to their configuration, resulting in the processing time becoming longer than in the case of using 16 instructions as usual. Also it is possible to use a method in which input data once written in a memory is read out therefrom and into the BP function part on a byte-wise basis for the permutation therein. In recent MPUs, however, access to the memory causes a penalty in many cases, and in some cases the penalty occurs owing to the MPU configuration as in the above; in these instances, too, the processing time becomes longer than those needed to execute 16 instructions.
In contrast thereto, according to the present invention, the operation procedure by Eq. (27) enables the byte permutation in the cipher E2 to be performed by two rotate instructions and four instruction for shifting right or left the data of the two concatenated registers and for storing the right or left data concerned in a predetermined register. The instructions for latter half processing are standard with, for example, Intel 80386 MPU or later, and hence they can be implemented without any problems. Accordingly, this invention method permits faster processing of the BP function operation than the existing methods.
In an MPU on which such instructions are not concretely implemented, they can be substituted with two masking instructions and one ORing instruction. That is, while in the above the permuted data A1 in Eq. (27) has been described to be calculated by the processing in which the registers T2 and T0 after the cyclic shift are concatenated into a virtually 8k-bit long register T0′′ and the data of the rightmost 4k-bit data of the register T0′′ after the 2k-bit right shift is stored as the data A1 of the register T6, the permuted data A1 can also be obtained by such processing as indicated by Eq. (31), in which data (O, a9, a10, O) obtained by ANDing data z of the register T2 and mask data (23k−2k)=(00ffff00) is stored in a register T0′′ (not shown), data (a0, O, O, a3) obtained by ANDing data z, of the register T0 and mask data (24k−23k+2k−1)=(ff0000ff) is stored in a register T3′′ (not shown) and the value (a0, a9, a10, a3) obtained ORing the data of the register T3′′ and the data of the register T3′′ is stored in the register T6. The operation for the data A3 in Eq. (31) can also be made in a similar way. The operation does not involve the execution of any cyclic shift instruction, and hence it can be described by a total of 12 instructions, ensuring faster operation of the BP function than does the prior art.
Incidentally, the value A1 by Eq. (31) and the value A1 held in the register T6 in FIG. 9 differ in that they have been rotated one byte relative to each other. In either case, however, the register T6 holds four pieces of data a0, a3, a9 and a10 —this guarantees that the registers T6 and T7 hold the value of the set [R] just enough. The same is true of the relationship between the value A3 by Eq. (31) and the value A3 held in the register T4′ in FIG. 9.
In the cipher E2, since the basic encryption processing part performs byte-by-byte processing, the arrangement of, for example, the right-hand data need not always conform to the specification. That is, the implementation art of the encryption part needs only to correspond to the rearranged byte sequence.
Further, in this embodiment, the sets of bytes after permutation are divided to right and left in a correct order though different from the specified one. With the recent MPUs, it is possible to achieve particularly fast implementation of the BP function part in the cipher E2 for the data permutation and division used in cryptographic technology even when instructions for concatenating two registers into a virtually single register, shifting its data and storing high- or low-order data in the register are implemented on the MPUs. Such data permutation-division by the BP function in the cipher E2 is implemented using a data permutation-division program, which is offered as being recorded on a recording medium. This facilitates the distribution of the program.
Embodiment 2
A second embodiment of the present invention is intended to efficiently perform an inverse calculation over an integral residue class ring, for example, in the division part 32 of the final transformation part 30 in FIG. 1. In step 3-2 of the afore-mentioned Zassenhaus algorithm, this embodiment immerses a in y not intact but by addition. This utilizes the property of the Zassenhaus algorithm that correct results could be obtained by reversing the sign even without masking in step 3-1.
That is, this embodiment calculates an inverse element y=x−1mod 2m of the input x. Let a and b be temporary variables, m=2n (n≧1) and m be bit lengths of x, y, a and b. According to this embodiment, x is input and stored in storage means, followed by an initial process which: reads out x; calculates [x/2]; stores the calculated result as b in the storage means; stores the least significant bit as a in the storage means; reads out a, x and b; calculates [(ax+b)/2]; updates b with the calculated result; reads out x; and stores low-order two bits of x as y in the storage means.
Next, b and y area read out for i=1, 2, . . . , n−1; −by is calculated; a in the storage means is updated with −by; b, a and x are read out of the storage means and are used to calculate [(b+ax)/(2^(2i))]; b in the storage means is updated with the calculated value; y and a are read out of the storage means and are used to calculate y+a×2^(2i); and y in the storage means is updated with the calculated value. Note that p^q denotes the q-th power of p.
Next, y is read out of the storage means and output as the result of the inverse calculation.
FIG. 11 depicts the procedure of the inverse calculation described above.
Let a and b be temporary or auxiliary variables, [x] be a Gauss symbol (the maximum integer not exceeding x) and m=2n(n≧1). The inverse calculation is performed as described below. In this case, x, y, a and b have a bit length of m.
Step 1: Input x.
Step 2: Perform the following calculations as initial processing.
2-1. b:=[x/2]
2-2. a:=the least significant bit of b (S2 in FIG. 11)
2-3. b:=[(ax+b)/2]
2-4. y:=low-order two bits of x (S3 in FIG. 11)
2-5. i:=1(S4 in FIG. 11)
Step 3: Perform the following calculations for i=1, 2, . . . , n−1

    
    
        3-1. a:=−by
        3-2. b:=[(b+ax)/(2^(2i))]
        3-3. y:=y+a×2^(2′) (S5 in FIG. 11)
        3-4. i:=i+1 (S6 in FIG. 11)
    
    


Step 4: Output y.

    
    
        In Step 2, substeps 2-1,2-2 and 2-3 are performed in this order. Substeps 2-4 and 2-5 may be performed at arbitrary timing in Step 2.
        Step 3 may be performed in the order 3-1→3-2→3-3 or 3-1→3-3→3-2, but on recent computers it is preferable from their data dependency to perform step 3 in the order 3-1→3-2→3-3. When i=n−1, b is not necessary, and hence substep 3-2 need not be carried out.
        The loop of the algorithm may be described in a developed from of its interations in advance. (The number of iterations of the loop comes into play only on the order of the logarithm of the bit count of the inverse element to be calculated.) With the loop described in advance, it is possible to make the inverse calculation faster by precalculating i-dependent constants.
        On ordinary processors divisions and multiplications by 2n can be made faster by shift operations.
    
    


The validity of the above inverse calculation algorithm is described in the Appendix to this specification.
FIG. 12 illustrates the functional configuration of the inverse calculating apparatus according to this embodiment.
The input data x is stored by an input part 32C in an x-storage area of a storage device 32B. The stored data X is read out of the storage device 32B by first b-initializing means 32A1 in an operation device 32A, wherein it is used to calculate [x/2], which is stored as b in a b-storage area 32B4 of the storage device 32B.
The stored data b is read out by an a-initializing means 32A2 from the storage device 32B, and the least significant bit of the read-out data b is stored in a-storage area 32B3. By second b-initializing means 32A3 a, x and b are read out of the storage device 32B, then [(ax+b)/2] is calculated, and the calculated value is used as b to update the stored content of a b-storage area 32B4.
By y-initializing means 32A4 the stored data x in the storage device 32B is read out therefrom, and its low-order two bits are stored as y in a y-storage area 32B2 of the storage device 32B. By i-initializing means 32A51 is set as i in an i-storage area 32B5 of the storage device 32B.
By a-updating means 32A6 stored data b and y in the storage device 32B are read out therefrom, and −by is calculated, with which the stored data a in the a-storage area 32B3 is updated. By b-updating means 32A7 the stored data a, b, x and i in the storage device 32B are read out therefrom, and [(b+ax)/2^(2i)] is calculated, with which the stored data in the b-storage area 32B4 is updated.
By y-updating means 32A8 the stored data a, y and i in the storage device 32B are read out therefrom, and y+a×2^(2i) is calculated, with which the stored data y in the y-storage area 32B2 is updated. By i-updating means 32A9, the stored data i in the storage device 32B is read out therefrom, and i+1 is calculated, with which the stored data i in the i-storage area 32B5 is updated.
By control means 32A10 the stored data i and n are read out of the i-storage area 32B5 and an n-storage area 32B6 of the storage device 32B, then the a-updating means 32A6, the b-updating means 32A7, the y-updating means 32A8 and the i-updating means 32A9 are sequentially actuated until i=n, and when i becomes equal to n, the stored data y in the storage device 32B is read out therefrom by an output part 32D and output therethrough.
The apparatus of the present invention is capable of performing its respective functions by a computer under program control.
As will be seen from substeps 3-1, 3-2 and 3-3 of Step 3, this embodiment does not involve the bit padding operation, and hence it reduces the workload of bit processing that has been an obstacle to the software implementation of the Zassenhaus algorithm. Thus this embodiment permits faster inverse calculation in mod 2m.
The “Zassenhaus method” and the inverse calculating method of the present invention were implemented on a general purpose workstation by C language and compared in terms of processing speed for n=5 (i.e. 32 bits). The input x was determined generating a random number and the operation was repeated for all x's; the two methods were compared, with OS overhead removed. The comparison showed that the inverse calculating method of the present invention was more than 10% faster than the “Zassenhaus method.”
While Embodiment 2 has been described as being applied to the inverse calculation in the division part 32 of the cipher E2 shown in FIG. 1, it is also applicable, for example, to the inverse calculation in mod 2′ by the Montgomery algorithm that is used in the modular exponentiation operation over Z/NZ
Embodiment 3
This embodiment is intended to reduce the numbers of memory references and additions involved and the storage capacity required in the substitution-permutation processing by the round function part 22 in the cipher E2 depicted in FIG. 2. In practice, the substitution and permutation of the type indicated by Eq. (17) are not usual and have such properties as listed below in many cases.

    
    
        (1) Some of pieces of data pij or sj are equal.
        (2) Even if columns of the input or output are swapped or exchanged, the swap can be accommodated at a different part without decreasing the processing speed, and hence it can be transformed equivalently in terms of algorithm.
        (3) The element of Rn is stored in a register for storing a word that is the calculation unit on a computer, and can be calculated for each element.
    
    


Since the property (3) is implemented on recent processors as typified by an MMX instruction implemented on Intel processors, and since Rn is widely used which permits the element-by-element calculation of Rn by and AND operation feasible on almost all processors, the property is considered to be a practical assumption.
This embodiment reduces the number of memory references and the storage capacity through utilization of the above-mentioned properties.
That is, according to this embodiment, when some of pieces of data pij or sj are equal to one another in the afore-mentioned equations (17) and (18) expressing the substitution and permutation on the ring R

rows of the matrix P expressing the permutation are rearranged, then vector v1εRr (The dimension r is up to m and the vectors may differ in dimension.) on the ring R and the function Sk:R→R′(where k=1, 2, . . . , n, r≦m), which are necessary for the substitution and permutation, are precalcuated for each xi, and the precalculated values are stored in storage means. For the input xi: Sk is read out of the storage means, and a vector Sk(xi) is calculated; a set of vectors {vi} necessary for forming a k-th column of the matrix P is read out of the storage means and a vector uk is generated; then uk*Sk(xi) (where * is the product for each vector element) is calculated, and these values are added together to obtain a data sequence yi.

    
    


This embodiment will be described below concretely. In practice, the actual substitution and permutation mostly use a field as the ring R, and hence R will be limited specifically to a unitary ring (including the unit element of multiplication). In the interests of simplicity, this embodiment will be described in connection with the case where the calculation of Eq. (17) is pijε{0, 1} and the pieces of data sj are identical. When the data sj have several kinds of pieces and some of them are equal, or when the data pij have pieces taking other values than 0 and 1 and some of them are equal, the operation is less efficient than the examples described below but more efficient than in the case of the conventional method set forth in Literature S.

where * is the product for each element of the vector.

From the above it will be understood that, by precalculating S and prestoring the calculated value in a memory, Eq. (17) can be calculated with n memory references for x1, to xn, n multiplications to obtain the product * for each vector element and n−1 additions of n column vectors. The prior art stores SP1 to SPn, but this embodiment stores only S and hence reduces the amount of data stored down to 1/n.
Embodiment 3-2
Consider the case of calculating Eq. (17) in an environment where the calculation unit is smaller than R[(m+1)/2] (where [(m+1)/2] is the maximum integer not exceeding (m+1)/2). The following example is applicable to ordinary matrices P. To facilitate a better understanding of the invention, consider the application of the invention to the case of the following matrix (Eq. 35) used the cipher E2, that is, to the substitution and permutation (Eq. 36).

The horizontal line in the matrix of Eq. (36) is intended only to make it easy to see. It should be noted that a substitution with no permutation is also needed at the end of the operation in the cipher E2.

To implement the substitution and permutation using the matrix P by the method proposed in Literature S, 4-element column vectors forming the upper half submatrix of P are four kinds vectors each containing a 0, the left-hand four column vectors forming the lower half matrix are also four kinds of vectors each containing a 0, and the right-hand column vectors of the lower half matrix are four kinds of vectors each containing two 0s.

The vertical and horizontal lines in the above matrix are intended to facilitate a better understanding of the description given below, and they have no particular meanings. As a result, the required table is formed by: four kinds of 4-element column vectors each containing a 0; one kind of 4-element column vector containing two 0s; one kind of 4-element column vector containing only 1s; and two kinds of 4-element column vector each containing only one 1. The column vectors containing one 1 are used for substitution as well as for permutation. Hence, only the following tables need to be stored:

And the memory reference and addition for x0, x1, x2 and X3 can be made common thereto. Accordingly, the computation cost in this case is as follows:

    
    
        Required memory capacity: 10
        Number of table references: 12
        Number of additions: 11
    
    


As compared with the method described in Literature S, the method of this embodiment permits reduction of all of the memory capacity, the number of table references and the number of additions. It must be noted here that the arrangement of yi (0≦i≦7) on the left-hand side of Eq. (37) does not impair performance.
Embodiment 3-3
Consider the case of calculating Eq. (17) in an environment where the calculation unit is smaller than R[(m+1)/2] as is the case with Embodiment 3-2 and the following shift operation can be performed fast.

As is the case with Embodiment 3-2, this embodiment is also applicable to ordinary matrices P, but for simplicity sake, this example will be described as being applied to the matrix P (see Eq. 35)) and substitution-permutation (see Eq. (36)) used in the cipher E2.
As is the case with Embodiment 3-2, the order of calculation is changed by swapping rows of the matrix P as follows:

In the processing for x4, x5, x6, x7:as regards y0, y1, Y3, y2,memory-stored reference tables are used intact; and as for y6, y7, y5 and y4, values read out of the memory-stored reference tables for y0, y1, y3 and y2 are shifted down one element, down two elements, up one element and up two elements, respectively. That is, the leftmost column vector of the upper right submatrix of the matrix P is shifted down one element to obtain the leftmost column vector of the lower right submatrix, then the column vector second from the left-hand side of the upper right submatrix is shifted down two elements to obtain the column vector second from the left-hand side of the lower right submatrix, and thereafter the column vectors third and fourth from the left-hand side of the upper right submatrix are shifted up one element and two elements, respectively, to obtain the column vectors third and fourth from the left-hand side of the lower right submatrix.

Accordingly, all the tables that need to be stored are only such as follows:

Accordingly, this embodiment also reduces the computation cost as compared with the method of Literature S in terms of the memory capacity, the number of memory references and the number of additions as follows:

    
    
        Required memory capacity: 8
        Number of table references: 8
        Number of additions: 11
        Number of shifts: 4
    
    


In this embodiment, too, it should be noted that the arrangement of yi(0≦i≦7) on the left-hand side does not incur performance degradation.
Embodiment 3-4
This embodiment is also applicable to ordinary matrices P in some cases, but for the sake of simplicity, the embodiment will be described in connection with the case where the matrix P (see Eq. (35)) and substitution and permutation (see Eq. (36)) used in the cipher E2 are defined for a ring R of a characteristic 2.
As is the case with Embodiment 3-3, respective rows of the matrix P are swapped to obtain

In this case, the computation cost is as follows:

    
    
        Number of table references (for calculation of SPj): 8
        Number of additions/subtractions (for calculation of +): 9
        Number of shifts (for calculations of SU and SD): 2
    
    


Thus, this embodiment permits further reduction of the number of additions/subtractions and the number of shifts than does embodiment 3-3.
Embodiment 3-5
Some processors allow not only the use of the shift operations SU and SD but also the use of the following downward k-element rotation for n elements:

The computation cost in this case is as follows:

    
    
        Number of table references (for calculation of SPj): 8
        Number of additions (for ± calculation): 8
        Number of rotations (for calculation of RD): 1
    
    


This embodiment permits further reduction of the number of additions as compare with that in the case of Embodiment 3-4.
FIG. 13 depicts the functional configuration of Embodiment 3-1. The input data xi is stored by input means 32C in an xi-storage area 32B13 of a storage device 32B; the permuted vector vkεRr is stored in a vk-storage area 32B14; and the substitution function Sk is stored in an Sk-storage area 32B 15. Furthermore, the working vector wk is stored in a wk-storage area 32B 16, and the working parameter k is stored in a k-storage area 32B17. By k-initializing means 32A19 in the operation device 32A k is initialized to 0, and by Sk-calculating means 32A21 the Sk-storage area 32B 15 is read out using the input data xi, and the calculated value of the vector Sk(xi) is stored as wk in the wk-storage area 32B16. From the storage means 32B vk and wk are read out, and their product for each element is calculated by vk*Sk calculating means 32A22, and the calculated value is used to update wk. By k-updating means 32A23 k in the k-storage area 32B17 is updated by being incremented by 1. The Sk-calculating means 32A21, the vk*Sk calculating means 32A22 and the k-updating means 32A23 are actuated one after another until k=n; respective wk in the storage means 32B are read out therefrom, then their sum is calculated, and the calculated value is output via output means 32D.
FIG. 14 there is depicted the functional configuration of Embodiment 3-2, in which the parts corresponding to those in FIG. 13 are denoted by the same reference numerals. The vk-storage area 32B14 and the Sk-storage area 32B1 in FIG. 13 are substituted with SPk-storage area 32B31, in which SPk is stored. By SPk calculating means 32A32 SPk(xi) is calculated in accordance with the input data xi, and the calculated value is stored as the vector wk in the wk-storage area 32B 16. Embodiment 3-2 is identical in construction with Embodiment 3-1 except the above.
In Embodiment 3-3, the read-out SPk(xi) is shifted by shift means 32A33 in FIG. 14, and the shifted SPk(xi) is stored as the vector wk in the wk-storage area 32B16.
Embodiment 4
With the calculation scheme as defined by Eq. (10), upon each calculation of ui′, the calculated value is discarded and the next ui′ is calculated by newly conducting an addition and a subtraction. However, since the defining equation for calculating each ui, contains two or more components common to those of the defining equation for calculating another ui′, that is, since the both defining equations are similar to some extent, it is possible to utilize the previous calculated value by expressing the current value ui′ as ui′=uj′+Di using its difference Di from the previous calculated value uj′. This embodiment is intended to reduce the number of times the memory is read.
Embodiment 4-1
In this embodiment, the value ui′ is expressed by u′i+1=u′i+Di and the permutation operation is performed by the following equation:

u1′=u2+u3+u4+u5+u6+u7 

u2′=u1′+u1−u2−u5+u8 

u3′=u2′+u2−u3+u5−u6 

u4′=u3′+u3−u4+u6−u7 

u5′=u4′−u3+u4−u8 

u6′=u5′+u3−u4−u5+u7 

u7′=u6′−u5+u4−u6+u8 

u8′=u7′+u1−u2+u5−u7  (48) 

The computation cost by this method is as follows:

    
    
        Number of additions/subtractions: 32
        Number of memory reads: 33
        Number of memory writes: 8
    
    


As compared with conventional Scheme 1 described previously, this embodiment permits a 25% reduction of the number of memory writes. Incidentally, it must also noted here that since the value ui′ is held in an accumulator at the time of calculating u′i+1, no memory access for write is needed.
While this embodiment has been described as being applied to permutation using the matrix P in the cipher E2 for the sake of simplicity, this embodiment is not limited specifically to the matrix P but it may be applied to every permutation that is expressed by the matrix composed of elements {0, 1}. General properties of such application are described below.
The conventional Scheme 1 calculates each value uj (where i=1, 2, . . . 8) after reading in the required value uj (where j=1, 2, 3, . . . , 8). On this account, the total number of memory reads is equal to the total number of “1” components in the matrix P. This means that the larger the total number of “1” components in the matrix P, the larger the number of memory reads and the lower the processing speed.
On the other hand, according to this embodiment, u′i+1 can be calculated after reading in only uj (where j=1, 2, . . . , 8) that is the difference between u′i+1 and u′i. In general, it is expected that the larger the total number of “1” components in the matrix P, the smaller the difference between u′i+1 and u′i. This means that an increase in the total number of “1” components in the matrix P decreases the number of memory reads, providing increased processing speed.
Unlike the conventional Scheme 2, this embodiment is free from limitations on the method of implementing the matrix P, and hence it is versatile. Incidentally, it is not obvious whether the method this embodiment is superior to the conventional Scheme 3 when the total number of “1” components in the matrix P is extremely large.
Embodiment 4-2
Embodiment 4-1 has been described to calculate u′i in a sequential order starting first for i=1, but the calculation need not always be conducted in such a sequential order because u′i (where i=1, 2, . . . , 8) are described in parallel in the actual implementation. Then the computational complexity can be reduced by utilizing u′j that decrease its difference from ui′. For example, the calculation of u7′ from u6′ requires reading-in of u1, U4, u6 and u8, but the calculation of u4′ after u6′ requires reading-in of only u5, u7 and u8, and hence it permits reduction of the numbers of memory reads and additions/subtractions by one.
By determining the order of calculation of u′i such that the total number of all differences, i.e. the number of memory reads becomes minimum, it is possible to optimize the calculation. Shown below is one of the optimum orders of calculation in the P function part 22 (FIG. 2) in the cipher E2.

u6=u1+u2+u3+u6+u7 

u4=u6′+u5−u7+u8 

u5′=u4′−u3+u4−u8 

u3′=u5′−u6+u7+u8 

u8′=u3′−u2+u3−u7 

u2′=u8′−u5+u6+u7 

u7′=u2′−u1+u2−u6 

u1′=u7′+u5+u6−u8  (49) 

The computational complexity for permutation by this method is as follows:

    
    
        Number of additions/subtractions: 25
        Number of memory reads: 26
        Number of memory writes: 8
    
    


Accordingly, the number of memory reads is about 35% smaller than in the case of Scheme 1 and about 25% smaller than in Scheme 2.
While this embodiment has been described as being applied to permutation using the matrix P in the cipher E2 for the sake of simplicity, this embodiment is not limited specifically to the matrix P, and it is evident that the scheme of this embodiment may be applied to every permutation that is expressed by the matrix composed of elements {0, 1}. General properties of such application are described below.
The scheme of this embodiment is apparently improved from the scheme of Embodiment 4-1, and hence it is faster than the conventional Scheme 1 except an address calculation for the write of ui′. Besides, unlike the conventional Scheme 2, this embodiment is free from limitations on the method of implementing the matrix P, and hence it is versatile.
On the other hand, when the total number of “1” component in the matrix P is large, it is expected to provide an order of calculation that decreases the difference between ui′ and up as a whole, and in almost all cases it is implemented with the minimum number of memory reads. For example, in the case of Embodiment 4-2, there is such a method that uj′ can be derived from ui′ by three pieces of uk are read out of memories. In general, the number of memory reads necessary for obtaining ui′ from σ by the conventional Scheme 3 may be considered to be equal to or larger than the minimum number of memory reads in Embodiment 4-2. It can be safely said, therefore, that this embodiment is smaller, in almost all cases, than Scheme 3 in the total number of memory reads necessary for obtaining all ui′ (where i=1, 2, . . . , 8).
FIG. 15 illustrates in block form an apparatus that perform the permutation operation by the scheme of Embodiment 4-1 or 4-2. The pieces of input data u1, u2, . . . , u8 to be permuted are held in an input data memory 221. In a program memory 227 there is stored a program for executing the permutation operation of Eq. (48) or (49). A control device 220 follows the program to control an address generator 226 which generates addresses of pieces of data to be read out of the memory 221 one after another and addresses of an output data memory 222 into which pieces of data obtained by the calculation are written. At the same time, the control device 220 iteratively controls additions/subtractions (or XORing) using an accumulator 224 and registers 225. Each calculated value ui′ is held in a temporary data memory 223 or accumulator 224 until it is used to calculate the next uj′.
While Embodiments 4-1 and 4-2 have been described in connection with the permutation operation using a 8 by 8 matrix as the matrix P, it is apparent that they are equally applicable to a permutation operation in which n and m are set at integers equal to or greater than 2, m by n matrix is generally used as the matrix P and permuted data (u1′, u2′, . . . , um′) is calculated by the following equation.

As described above, it is considered that this embodiment is the smallest in the total number of memory reads; in general, the memory read/write is slower than the addition/subtraction, and this embodiment is faster than any conventional schemes by the amount of address calculation included.
EFFECT OF THE INVENTION
As described above, the byte permutation according to the present invention permits reduction of the number of processing steps by simultaneously performing masking operations of 2 bytes. Alternatively, the processing steps can be decreased by the combined use of rotation and shifts.
In the inverse calculation in mod 2m, the workload can be reduced by performing additive padding instead of using the bit padding in the Zassenhaus scheme.
In the substitution and permutation according to the present invention, the required memory capacity and the computational complexity can be reduced by rearranging rows of the matrix P based on the same components of the permutation matrix P or the same substituted components sj(x).
According to the permutation method of the present invention, the computational complexity can be reduced by expressing the current permuted data using the preceding permuted data and the difference between the current and the previous permuted data.

In the following each variable has a bit size of 2n; therefore, mod 22n will be omitted unless any particular problems arise. In principle, numbers themselves will be written in uppercase alphabetic characters and individual digits in the development will be in loewr-case alphabetic characters (with some exceptions).

    {
    
        a0=x0−1 mod 2;
        B0=[Xa0 mod 22n/2];

         }
        return(Yn);
    
    
    }

Proposition 1.1([1]) If input X of Algorithm 1 meets the conditions 0<X<22n and (X, 22n)=1, then return value Y2 will satisfy



XYn≡1(mod 22n)
To prove this proposition, the following lemmas will be discussed first.

    Lemma 1.1: For i≧0, Bi=[XYi mod 22n/22i].


Proof. For i=0, the statement is clear. For each k≧0 assume that the following equation holds:

XYk=Bk22k+R(0<R<22k)  (1) 

For i=k,

z=[x/y]x=yz+x mod y  (2) 

is used to obtain

(Xak+1+Bk)mod 22n−2k=Bk+122k+(Xak+1+Bk)mod 22k 

Multiplying the both sides by 22k we have

22k(Xak+1+Bk)mod 22n=Bk+122k+1+22k(Xak+1+Bk)mod 22k+1  (3) 

It follows from Eq. (1) that

XYk+1=X(ak+122k+Yk)=22k(Xak+1+Bk)+R 

Substitution of this into Eq. (3) gives

(XYk+1−R)mod 22n=Bk+122k+1+(XYk+1−R)mod 22k+1  (4) 

Since 0<R<22k, we have

XYk+1mod 22n −R=Bk+122k++XYk+1mod 22k+1−R 

and eliminate R from either side. Noting that

(XYk+1mod 22n)mod 22k+1=XYk+1mod 22k+1 

the use of Eq. (2) gives

We have XYk=1mod 22 k using the induction hypothesis, and (Bk mod 22k)22k=βk22k using Bk=[XYk mod 22n/22k] from the lemma. Therefore, XYk mod 22k+1=βk22k+1 holds. Finally we obtain

Theorem 2.1: If the input X of algorithm 2 meets the condition 0<X<22n and (X, 22n)=1, return value Yn will satisfy

XYn≡1(mod 22n) 

    
    


Proof. Algorithm 2 is a modified version of Algorithm 1, and several modular arithmetics are omitted. Accordingly, the value of each variable of the algorithm is free from modular arithmetic, and hence it has some value (garbage) added to the value in Algorithm 1. The value in Algorithm 1, for example, the variable X will hereinafter be described as X(0). For instance, Y2 in Algorithm 1 is denoted by Y2(0), and the garbage is denoted by C and expressed by Y2=Y2(0)+C. Note that the discussion on Algorithm 1 holds if every variable is described as X(0).
For i≧1, it will be proved by induction that the following mathematical expressions hold in Algorithm 2:

Yi=Yi(0)+Ci×22i−1  (7) 

Each Ci is the afore-mentioned “garbage,” which is at least a multiple of 22i−1. Bi and Yi have added thereto Ci in the above form.

When i=1, each of A1, B1, Y1 is a processing equivalent to Algorithm 1, and hence no “garbage” exists. Accordingly, C1=0, and Eqs. (5), (6) and (7) hold.
For each k≧1 assume that Eqs. (5), (6) and (7) hold for i=k. For i=k+1, we will show that Yk+1 satisfies Eq. (7). To begin with,

Ak+1=−BkYk

ak+1(0)=−βkyk mod 22k=−BkYk mod 22k and 

Dk+1=[−BkYk/22k]×22k 

That is, low-order 2k bit portion of −BkYk is expressed by ak+1(0), and the high order is expressed by Dk+1. Note that Dk+1 is Dk+1=0 mod 22k like Ck. From the above, we have

Since each of individual variables has a bit size of 2n and since the second term on the right-hand side of the above has been multiplied by 22k, we see that even if Ck+1 is calculated under modulo 22n−2k, the following equation holds:

Yk+1=Yk+1(0)+Ck+1×22k  (8) 

Next we wll show that Ck+1 satisfies Eq. (5), that Ck+1 satisfied Eq. (5), that is, Ck+1 is a multiple of 22k. Since Ck=0 mod 22k, it is clear that XCkCk=0 mod 22k and that Bk(0)Ck×22k−1=0 mod 22k. And, as mentioned previously, Dk+1=0 mod 22k. Now,

          ⁢
          X
        
      
      )
    
  




but since XYk(0)=1 mod 22k from the lemma, we have

(1−Yk(0)X)=0 mod 22k 

Using Ck=0 mod 22k−1, we have 



  
    
      
        C

            k
            
              (
              0
              )
            
          
          ⁢

Thus it is proved that

Ck+1=0 mod 22k  (9) 

From the above we find that Eqs. (5) and (7) hold also when i=k+1. If it is shown using this Ck+1 that when i=k+1, Bk+1 satisfies Eq. (6), then the theorem will be proved. Now, from Algorithm 2, Bk+1 becomes as follows:




  
    B
    
      k
      +
      1
    
  
  =
  
    [
    
      
        (
        
          
            XA
            
              k
              +
              1
            
          
          +
          
            B
            k
          
        
        )
      
      ⁢
      
        /
      
      ⁢
      
        2
        
          2
          k
        
      
    
    ]
  




Using Eq. (2) the above equation can be modified as follows:

XAk+1+Bk=Bk+1×22k+(XAk+1+Bk)mod 22k 

Since the bit size of each variable is 2n, and since Bk+1 is multiplied by 22k, there exist no problem even if the both sides are calculated under modulo 22n−2k. Accordingly, we have

(XAk+1+Bk)mod 22n−2k=Bk+1×22k+(XAk+1+Bk)mod 22k  (10) 

Then we have

Hence the left-hand side of Eq. (10) becomes as follows:

(XAk+1+Bk)mod 22n−2k==(Xak+1(0)Bk(0))mod 22n−2k+XCk+1

From the above, Eqs. (5), (6) and (7) hold also when i=k+1.

For i=n, since the “garbage” Cn×22n becomes a multiple of 22k, and each variables has a bit size of 2n, we obtain Yn=Yn(0); from the proposition

XYn=1mod 22n 

holds. Thus the proposition is proved. (Q.E.D.)
