it is used to speed the +encryption process. +.PP +.I des_read_password +writes the string specified by prompt to the standard output, +turns off echo and reads an input string from standard input +until terminated with a newline. +If verify is non-zero, it prompts and reads the input again and verifies +that both entered passwords are the same. +The entered string is converted into a des key by using the +.I des_string_to_key +routine. +The new key is placed in the +.I des_cblock +that was passed (by reference) to the routine. +If there were no errors, +.I des_read_password +returns 0, +-1 is returned if there was a terminal error and 1 is returned for +any other error. +.PP +.I des_read_2password +operates in the same way as +.I des_read_password +except that it generates 2 keys by using the +.I des_string_to_2key +function. +.PP +.I des_read_pw_string +is called by +.I des_read_password +to read and verify a string from a terminal device. +The string is returned in +.I buf. +The size of +.I buf +is passed to the routine via the +.I length +parameter. +.PP +.I des_string_to_key +converts a string into a valid des key. +.PP +.I des_string_to_2key +converts a string into 2 valid des keys. +This routine is best suited for used to generate keys for use with +.I des_ecb3_encrypt. +.PP +.I des_random_key +returns a random key that is made of a combination of process id, +time and an increasing counter. +.PP +Before a des key can be used it is converted into a +.I des_key_schedule +via the +.I des_set_key +routine. +If the +.I des_check_key +flag is non-zero, +.I des_set_key +will check that the key passed is of odd parity and is not a week or +semi-weak key. +If the parity is wrong, +then -1 is returned. +If the key is a weak key, +then -2 is returned. +If an error is returned, +the key schedule is not generated. +.PP +.I des_key_sched +is another name for the +.I des_set_key +function. +.PP +The following routines mostly operate on an input and output stream of +.I des_cblock's. +.PP +.I des_ecb_encrypt +is the basic DES encryption routine that encrypts or decrypts a single 8-byte +.I des_cblock +in +.I electronic code book +mode. +It always transforms the input data, pointed to by +.I input, +into the output data, +pointed to by the +.I output +argument. +If the +.I encrypt +argument is non-zero (DES_ENCRYPT), +the +.I input +(cleartext) is encrypted in to the +.I output +(ciphertext) using the key_schedule specified by the +.I schedule +argument, +previously set via +.I des_set_key. +If +.I encrypt +is zero (DES_DECRYPT), +the +.I input +(now ciphertext) +is decrypted into the +.I output +(now cleartext). +Input and output may overlap. +No meaningful value is returned. +.PP +.I des_ecb3_encrypt +encrypts/decrypts the +.I input +block by using triple ecb DES encryption. +This involves encrypting the input with +.I ks1, +decryption with the key schedule +.I ks2, +and then encryption with the first again. +This routine greatly reduces the chances of brute force breaking of +DES and has the advantage of if +.I ks1 +and +.I ks2 +are the same, it is equivalent to just encryption using ecb mode and +.I ks1 +as the key. +.PP +.I des_cbc_encrypt +encrypts/decrypts using the +.I cipher-block-chaining +mode of DES. +If the +.I encrypt +argument is non-zero, +the routine cipher-block-chain encrypts the cleartext data pointed to by the +.I input +argument into the ciphertext pointed to by the +.I output +argument, +using the key schedule provided by the +.I schedule +argument, +and initialisation vector provided by the +.I ivec +argument. +If the +.I length +argument is not an integral multiple of eight bytes, +the last block is copied to a temporary area and zero filled. +The output is always +an integral multiple of eight bytes. +To make multiple cbc encrypt calls on a large amount of data appear to +be one +.I des_cbc_encrypt +call, the +.I ivec +of subsequent calls should be the last 8 bytes of the output. +.PP +.I des_3cbc_encrypt +encrypts/decrypts the +.I input +block by using triple cbc DES encryption. +This involves encrypting the input with key schedule +.I ks1, +decryption with the key schedule +.I ks2, +and then encryption with the first again. +2 initialisation vectors are required, +.I ivec1 +and +.I ivec2. +Unlike +.I des_cbc_encrypt, +these initialisation vectors are modified by the subroutine. +This routine greatly reduces the chances of brute force breaking of +DES and has the advantage of if +.I ks1 +and +.I ks2 +are the same, it is equivalent to just encryption using cbc mode and +.I ks1 +as the key. +.PP +.I des_pcbc_encrypt +encrypt/decrypts using a modified block chaining mode. +It provides better error propagation characteristics than cbc +encryption. +.PP +.I des_cfb_encrypt +encrypt/decrypts using cipher feedback mode. This method takes an +array of characters as input and outputs and array of characters. It +does not require any padding to 8 character groups. Note: the ivec +variable is changed and the new changed value needs to be passed to +the next call to this function. Since this function runs a complete +DES ecb encryption per numbits, this function is only suggested for +use when sending small numbers of characters. +.PP +.I des_ofb_encrypt +encrypt using output feedback mode. This method takes an +array of characters as input and outputs and array of characters. It +does not require any padding to 8 character groups. Note: the ivec +variable is changed and the new changed value needs to be passed to +the next call to this function. Since this function runs a complete +DES ecb encryption per numbits, this function is only suggested for +use when sending small numbers of characters. +.PP +.I des_cbc_cksum +produces an 8 byte checksum based on the input stream (via cbc encryption). +The last 4 bytes of the checksum is returned and the complete 8 bytes is +placed in +.I output. +.PP +.I des_quad_cksum +returns a 4 byte checksum from the input bytes. +The algorithm can be iterated over the input, +depending on +.I out_count, +1, 2, 3 or 4 times. +If +.I output +is non-NULL, +the 8 bytes generated by each pass are written into +.I output. +.PP +.I des_enc_write +is used to write +.I len +bytes +to file descriptor +.I fd +from buffer +.I buf. +The data is encrypted via +.I pcbc_encrypt +(default) using +.I sched +for the key and +.I iv +as a starting vector. +The actual data send down +.I fd +consists of 4 bytes (in network byte order) containing the length of the +following encrypted data. The encrypted data then follows, padded with random +data out to a multiple of 8 bytes. +.PP +.I des_enc_read +is used to read +.I len +bytes +from file descriptor +.I fd +into buffer +.I buf. +The data being read from +.I fd +is assumed to have come from +.I des_enc_write +and is decrypted using +.I sched +for the key schedule and +.I iv +for the initial vector. +The +.I des_enc_read/des_enc_write +pair can be used to read/write to files, pipes and sockets. +I have used them in implementing a version of rlogin in which all +data is encrypted. +.PP +.I des_rw_mode +is used to specify the encryption mode to use with +.I des_enc_read +and +.I des_end_write. +If set to +.I DES_PCBC_MODE +(the default), des_pcbc_encrypt is used. +If set to +.I DES_CBC_MODE +des_cbc_encrypt is used. +These two routines and the variable are not part of the normal MIT library. +.PP +.I des_set_odd_parity +sets the parity of the passed +.I key +to odd. This routine is not part of the standard MIT library. +.PP +.I des_is_weak_key +returns 1 is the passed key is a weak key (pick again :-), +0 if it is ok. +This routine is not part of the standard MIT library. +.PP +.I crypt +is a replacement for the normal system crypt. +It is much faster than the system crypt. +.PP +.SH FILES +/usr/include/des.h +.br +/usr/lib/libdes.a +.PP +The encryption routines have been tested on 16bit, 32bit and 64bit +machines of various endian and even works under VMS. +.PP +.SH BUGS +.PP +If you think this manual is sparse, +read the des_crypt(3) manual from the MIT kerberos (or bones outside +of the USA) distribution. +.PP +.I des_cfb_encrypt +and +.I des_ofb_encrypt +operates on input of 8 bits. What this means is that if you set +numbits to 12, and length to 2, the first 12 bits will come from the 1st +input byte and the low half of the second input byte. The second 12 +bits will have the low 8 bits taken from the 3rd input byte and the +top 4 bits taken from the 4th input byte. The same holds for output. +This function has been implemented this way because most people will +be using a multiple of 8 and because once you get into pulling bytes input +bytes apart things get ugly! +.PP +.I des_read_pw_string +is the most machine/OS dependent function and normally generates the +most problems when porting this code. +.PP +.I des_string_to_key +is probably different from the MIT version since there are lots +of fun ways to implement one-way encryption of a text string. +.PP +The routines are optimised for 32 bit machines and so are not efficient +on IBM PCs. +.PP +NOTE: extensive work has been done on this library since this document +was origionally written. Please try to read des.doc from the libdes +distribution since it is far more upto date and documents more of the +functions. Libdes is now also being shipped as part of SSLeay, a +general cryptographic library that amonst other things implements +netscapes SSL protocoll. The most recent version can be found in +SSLeay distributions. +.SH AUTHOR +Eric Young (eay@cryptsoft.com) |
