With the brilliant development of information communication and the rapid spread of internet, current network communication is carrying several up-to-date functions such as electronic commerce, activation of electro currency or electronic signature and will produce more advanced services in the future. Information communication network such as that electronic commerce would demand the more safe and transparent guard of network, and anticipate the more fast performance of network. In this paper, in order to meet the several demands, DES(data encryption standard) with parallel feistel structure, which feistel structure of the basic structure of DES is transformed into in parallel, is proposed. The existing feistel structure can't use pipeline method for the structural problem of DES itself-the propagation of error. therefore, this modified parallel feistel structure could improve largely the performance of DES which had to have the trade-off relation between data processing speed and data security and in addition a method proposed in SEED having adopted the modified parallel feistel structure shows more excellent secure function and/or fast processing ability. The used CAD Tool use Synopsys Ver. 1999. 10 in both of synthesis and simulation.

선진국들은 공모 사업을 통해 많은 블록 암호가 개발되었으나 국내에서 개발된 블록 암호들은 크게 주목 받지 못했다. 블록 암호 개발은 기본의 암호와 차별성, 안전성 그리고 여러 플랫폼에서의 효율성이 중시되는데 이러한 조건을 다 만족하는 것은 쉽지 않기 때문이다. 본 논문은 128bit 블록 단위에서 128, 196, 256bit 키를 사용하는 새로운 블록 암호 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 블록 암호 알고리즘은 SPN(Substitution-Permutation Network)구조, Feistel Network구조 등인데 본 논문에서 제안한 블록 암호 알고리즘은 변형된 Feistel Network구조로 입력 값 전체에서 선택된 32bit 만 update된다. 이러한 구조적 특성은 기존은 블록 암호 알고리즘들과 큰 차별이 되고 있다. PKC블록 암호 알고리즘은 국제 표준 블록 암호 알고리즘인 AES와 국내 표준 블록 암호 알고리즘인 SEED와 수행 속도 면에서 동등하거나 많이 개선된 것을 보이고 있다. 이러한 특성을 이용하면 제한된 환경에서 수행해야 하는 스마트카드 와 같은 분야에 많이 활용 될 수 있을 것이다.

In this paper a modified Feistel network 128 bit block cipher algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm has a 128, 196 or 256 bit key and it updates a selected 32 bit word from input value whole by deformed Feistel Network structure. Existing of such structural special quality is getting into block cipher algorithms and big distinction. The proposed block cipher algorithm shows much improved software speed compared with international standard block cipher algorithm AES and domestic standard block cipher algorithm SEED and ARIA. It may be utilized much in same field coming smart card that must perform in limited environment if use these special quality.

본 논문에서는 feistel 암호 알고리즘에서 전방향(feedforward) 신경회로망으로 암호 함수(f)를 구성하는 블록 암호 알고리즘 방법을 제안한다. 신경회로망의 가중치(weight)를 키(key)로 사용하여 암호화 및 복호화를 수행한다. 신경회로망의 비선형적인 특성과 각각의 층을 구성하고 있는 뉴런 간의 방대한 연결로 복잡한 구조이지만, 실제 뉴런은 단순 처리만을 수행하고, 대단위 병렬처리가 가능하다. 은닉층의 구성에 따라 여러 형태의 설계가 가능하다.

We describe the problem of reducing the key material in the Even-Mansour cipher without security degradation. Even and Mansour proposed a block cipher based on XORing secret key material just prior to and after applying random oracle permutation P such that $C=k_2\bigoplus P(M\bigoplus k_1)$. Recently, Gentry and Ramzan showed that this scheme in the random permutation oracle can be replaced by the four-round Feistel network construction in the random function oracle and also proved that their scheme is super-pseudorandom. In this paper we reduce the key size from 2n to n, which is the optimal key size of Even-Mansour cipher in the random function oracle model and also give almost the same level of security.

Feistel and SPN are the two main structures in designing a block cipher algorithm. Unlike Feistel, an SPN has an asymmetric structure in encryption and decryption. In this paper we propose an SPN algorithm which has a symmetric structure in encryption and decryption. The whole operations in our SPN algorithm are composed of the even numbers of N rounds where the first half of them, 1 to N/2, applies function and the last half of them, (N+1)/2 to N, employs inverse function. Symmetry layer is executed to create a symmetry block in between function layer and inverse function layer. AES encryption and decryption algorithm, whose safety is already proved, are exploited for function and inverse function, respectively. In order to be secure enough against the byte or word unit-based attacks, 32bit rotation and simple logical operations are performed in symmetry layer. Due to the simplicity of the proposed encryption and decryption algorithm in hardware configuration, the proposed algorithm is believed to construct a safe and efficient cipher in Smart Card and RFID environments where electronic chips are built in.

Feistel and SPN are the two main structures in a block cipher. Feistel is a symmetric structure which has the same structure in encryption and decryption, but SPN is not a symmetric structure. In this paper, we propose a SPN which has a symmetric structure in encryption and decryption. The whole operations of proposed algorithm are composed of the even numbers of N rounds where the first half of them, 1 to N/2 round, applies a right function and the last half of them, (N+1)/2 to N round, employs an inverse function. And a symmetry layer is located in between the right function layer and the inverse function layer. In this paper, AES encryption and decryption function are selected for the right function and the inverse function, respectively. The symmetric layer is composed with simple matrix and round key addition. Due to the simplicity of the symmetric SPN structure in hardware implementation, the proposed modified AES is believed to construct a safe and efficient cipher in Smart Card and RFID environments where electronic chips are built in.

This paper describes a small-area hardware implementation of the block cipher algorithm CLEFIA-128 which supports for 128-bit master key. A compact structure using single data processing block is adopted, which shares hardware resources for round transformation and the generation of intermediate values for round key scheduling. In addition, data processing and key scheduling blocks are simplified by utilizing a modified GFN(generalized Feistel network) and key scheduling scheme. The CLEFIA-128 crypto-processor is verified by FPGA implementation. It consumes 823 slices of Virtex5 XC5VSX50T device and the estimated throughput is about 105 Mbps with 145 MHz clock frequency.

Impossible differential cryptanalysis(IDC) introduced by Biham et. ${al}^{[4]}$ uses impossible differential characteristics. There-fore, a security of a block cipher against IDC is measured by impossible differential characteristics. In this paper, we pro-vide a wildly applicable method to find various impossible differential characteristics of block cipher structures not using the specified form of a round function. Using this method, we can find various impossible differential characteristics for Nyberg's generalized Feistel network and a generalized RC6-like structure. Throughout the paper, we assume round functions used in block cipher structures are bijective.ctive.
