This is an implementation in Tcl of the Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES) as published by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and
Technology [1]. AES is a 128-bit block cipher with a variable
key size of 128, 192 or 256 bits. This implementation supports ECB and
CBC modes.
-
::aes::aes ? -mode [ecb|cbc] ? ? -dir [encrypt|decrypt] ? -key keydata ? -iv vector ? ? -hex ? ? -out channel ? ? -chunksize size ? [ -in channel | data ]
-
Perform the aes algorithm on either the data provided
by the argument or on the data read from the -in channel. If
an -out channel is given then the result will be written to
this channel.
The -key option must be given. This parameter takes a binary
string of either 16, 24 or 32 bytes in length and is used to generate the
key schedule.
The -mode and -dir options are optional and default to cbc
mode and encrypt respectively. The initialization vector -iv
takes a 16 byte binary argument which defaults to all zeros.
See MODES OF OPERATION for more about available modes and
their uses.
AES is a 128-bit block cipher. This means that the data must be
provided in units that are a multiple of 16 bytes.
Internal state is maintained in an opaque structure that is returned
from the
Init function. In ECB mode the state is not affected by
the input but for CBC mode some input dependent state is maintained
and may be reset by calling the
Reset function with a new
initialization vector value.
-
::aes::Init mode keydata iv
-
Construct a new AES key schedule using the specified key data and the
given initialization vector. The initialization vector is not used
with ECB mode but is important for CBC mode.
See MODES OF OPERATION for details about cipher modes.
-
::aes::Encrypt Key data
-
Use a prepared key acquired by calling Init to encrypt the
provided data. The data argument should be a binary array that is a
multiple of the AES block size of 16 bytes. The result is a binary
array the same size as the input of encrypted data.
-
::aes::Decrypt Key data
-
Decipher data using the key. Note that the same key may be used to
encrypt and decrypt data provided that the initialization vector is
reset appropriately for CBC mode.
-
::aes::Reset Key iv
-
Reset the initialization vector. This permits the programmer to re-use
a key and avoid the cost of re-generating the key schedule where the
same key data is being used multiple times.
-
::aes::Final Key
-
This should be called to clean up resources associated with Key.
Once this function has been called the key may not be used again.
- Electronic Code Book (ECB)
-
ECB is the basic mode of all block ciphers. Each block is encrypted
independently and so identical plain text will produce identical
output when encrypted with the same key. Any encryption errors will
only affect a single block however this is vulnerable to known
plaintext attacks.
- Cipher Block Chaining (CBC)
-
CBC mode uses the output of the last block encryption to affect the
current block. An initialization vector of the same size as the cipher
block size is used to handle the first block. The initialization
vector should be chosen randomly and transmitted as the first block of
the output. Errors in encryption affect the current block and the next
block after which the cipher will correct itself. CBC is the most
commonly used mode in software encryption. This is the default mode
of operation for this module.
