NIST Symmetric Key Block Cipher Algorithms workshop
by Declan McCullagh 27 Mar '01

27 Mar '01

http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/14mar20010800/frwebgate.access.gpo.… [Federal Register: March 27, 2001 (Volume 66, Number 59)] [Notices] [Page 16658-16659] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr27mr01-38] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Institute of Standards and Technology Public Meeting Announcing a Workshop for the Analysis of Modes of Operation for Symmetric Key Block Cipher Algorithms AGENCY: National Institute of Standards and Technology, Commerce. ACTION: Notice of public workshop. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announces a workshop on modes of operation for securing data using symmetric key block cipher algorithms, such as the algorithm specified in the draft Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Interested parties may suggest ideas or submit papers for discussion at the workshop, including proposals of modes of operation, to the address below. DATES: The Second Modes of Operation Workshop will be held on August 24, 2001, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ADDRESSES: The workshop will be held at the Holiday Inn Santa Barbara, 5650 Calle Real, Goleta, California. Details regarding workshop registration will be available at the modes home page: http:// csrc.nist.gov/encryption/aes/modes/. Suggestions, questions, comments or submissions should be sent to Modes of Operation Workshop, Attn: Elaine Barker, NIST, 100 Bureau Drive, Stop 8930, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-8930, or to EncryptionModes(a)nist.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information, contact EncryptionModes(a)nist.gov or one of the following: Elaine Barker, NIST, 100 Bureau Drive, Stop 8930, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-8930; telephone 301-975-2911; fax 301-948-1233 or via e-mail at Elaine.barker(a)nist.gov; or Morris Dworkin 100 Bureau Drive, Stop 8930, Gaithersburg, MD 20899- 8930; telephone 301-975-2354; fax 301-948-1233; or via e-mail at morris.dworkin(a)nist.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Block ciphers can be used as building blocks for encryption modes and for other modes for securing data. For example, block ciphers can be used in the construction of message authentication codes, hash algorithms, and random bit generators. With the advent of new block ciphers, such as the AES, there is an opportunity to update such modes of operation for current and future applications and technology. The purpose of this Federal Register notice is to announce a workshop on modes of operation for securing data using symmetric key block cipher algorithms, such as the algorithm specified in the draft Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Prior to the workshop, suggestions and submissions from the public to aid NIST in planning an appropriate workshop and facilitate the comparison and analysis of block cipher modes of operation are welcome. The workshop will aid NIST in developing a standard or guideline that is secure and responsive to the needs of government, industry, and the public. NIST will consider for discussion at the workshop, at a minimum, the modes that were proposed at the October 20, 2000 public workshop on this topic. These are available at the modes home page, and NIST encourages public analysis of these modes. The workshop may also consider other existing modes or their generalizations, or other modes that are proposed in comments and papers. It will be helpful to receive analysis and proposals for variations of counter mode, arising from alternative methods for prescribing the generation of counters. All suggestions received will be publicly available at the modes home page. In order to encourage a common framework for comparison, a workshop approach to evaluate and analysis is available on the modes home page. NIST believes that participants in the upcoming workshop would be interested in comments that include statements regarding the intellectual property and/or licensing requirements of any proposed modes. Test vectors will also be useful, to provide analyzers of the modes a means to check the validity of their implementations. Fuller descriptions are available at the modes web site. The results of the workshop will aid NIST's efforts to develop a complete ``suite'' of modes of operation from which individual modes can be selected to fit the needs of a wide range of applications and environments. The recommended modes are expected to support the eventual Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and other block ciphers. Submissions for discussion at the workshop should be made early enough to provide time to prepare the meeting agenda. Papers proposing new modes of operation are requested as soon as possible, to provide time for the analysis of the new proposals. Authority: NIST's activities to develop computer security standards to protect sensitive (unclassified) systems are undertaken pursuant to specific responsibilities assigned to NIST in section [[Page 16659]] 5131 of the Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-106), the Computer Security Act of 1987 (Pub. L. 100-235), and Appendix III to Office of Business Management Circular A-130. Dated: March 19, 2001. Karen Brown, Acting Director, NIST.

The man they were looking for was Kevin Dean Schuch. The man they arrested was Kevin Lee Schuh. Even though the man in custody showed identification indicating he had a different name, address, birth date, Social Security number, driver's license, weight, height and hair color from the wanted man, he was booked into jail. Eight months later, the county paid for the mistake: Kevin Lee Schuh and his attorney got a check for $1,773. Schuh's case is not unique. [...]

Not willing to pay $$$$exhorbitant.....thanx Well, according to The News, reporting on the shutting down of some Russian sites for KP: the U.S. government estimates there are 100,000 WWW sites that are involved or related to KP. Are you sure you can't find any? ---- Try "child pornography" (with the double quotes) at Google. You'll see all sorts of sites for reporting KP. Copy one or more of them, such as www.missingkids.com, into your own new "reporting" site. You'll get direct tips as to where KP is. ---- And, of course, there's Usenet.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] OpenSSL 0.9.6a Beta 2 released
by Richard Levitte 27 Mar '01

27 Mar '01

The second beta release of OpenSSL 0.9.6a is now available from the OpenSSL FTP site <URL: ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/>. OpenSSL 0.9.6a is a bug-fix release of version 0.9.6, and currently contains 43 documented changes. Among others, this release should build on all Windows platforms, which 0.9.6 failed to do. Just as for version 0.9.6, this one comes in two variants, one containing the now well-known ENGINE code and one that doesn't. The tar files are: openssl-0.9.6a-beta2.tar.gz openssl-engine-0.9.6a-beta2.tar.gz The changes since the first beta are: - made ms/32all.bat and ms/16all.bat to work. - a few warnings under WIN32 fixed. - a missing module in the VMS build system was added. - a memory leak in the error data code was plugged. - the support for shared libraries changed as in 0.9.7-dev. [N.B.: shared library support is still *EXPERIMENTAL* and not really supported considering the big number of changes that are coming in future versions of OpenSSL] - a PKCS#12 key generation bug was fixed. - a few typos were corrected. - more configuration possibilities for Unixware were added. If this beta is shown to build and test correctly on all reported platforms, there will be no need for another beta. Otherwise, there will be a third beta. In any case, that next release is scheduled for Tuesday 2001-03-27. To make sure that it will work correctly, please test this version (especially on less common platforms), and report any problems to <openssl-bugs(a)openssl.org>. -- Richard Levitte levitte(a)openssl.org OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org/~levitte/ Software Engineer, Celo Communications: http://www.celocom.com/

a 32-bit block cipher (fwd)

The Armadillo Group ,::////;::-. James Choate Austin, Tx /:'///// ``::>/|/ ravage(a)ssz.com www.ssz.com .', |||| `/( e\ 512-451-7087 -====~~mm-'`-```-mm --'- -------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2001 12:49:02 +1100 From: Greg Rose <ggr(a)qualcomm.com> To: coderpunks(a)toad.com Subject: a 32-bit block cipher Recently I needed a way of generating an unpredictable permutation function of 32-bit values, in other words, a block cipher with a 32-bit block. It was important for that application that 32-bit values generated over a period of time should not repeat. I searched around looking for such a cipher, and couldn't find one, not surprisingly since it would be insecure in the face of a codebook style attack (the entire codebook would fit into 16GB). Anyway, that didn't change the fact that I needed one, so I wrote one. I took Skipjack (Panu Rissanen <bande(a)lut.fi>'s version) and turned it into a 24-round feistel cipher. It retains the F-table, the G-permutation and the key-schedule (including the 80-bit keys), but it loses the feedback register structure and the two different kinds of rounds. Then for the fun of it I applied for, and received, an export license from the Australian Defence Signals Directorate that allows me to post it on the Web. It's at: http://www.home.aone.net.au/qualcomm/skip32.c It's freely available, and I hope it is of use to someone else too. If anyone sees any problems with it, please do tell me. Greg.
