                GOST R 34.12-2015: Block Cipher "Magma"

Abstract

   In addition to a new cipher with a block length of n=128 bits
   (referred to as "Kuznyechik" and described in RFC 7801), Russian
   Federal standard GOST R 34.12-2015 includes an updated version of the
   block cipher with a block length of n=64 bits and key length of k=256
   bits, which is also referred to as "Magma".  The algorithm is an
   updated version of an older block cipher with a block length of n=64
   bits described in GOST 28147-89 (RFC 5830).  This document is
   intended to be a source of information about the updated version of
   the 64-bit cipher.  It may facilitate the use of the block cipher in
   Internet applications by providing information for developers and
   users of the GOST 64-bit cipher with the revised version of the
   cipher for encryption and decryption.

1.  Introduction

   The Russian Federal standard [GOSTR3412-2015] specifies basic block
   ciphers used as cryptographic techniques for information processing
   and information protection, including the provision of
   confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity of information during
   information transmission, processing, and storage in computer-aided
   systems.

   The cryptographic algorithms defined in this specification are
   designed both for hardware and software implementation.  They comply
   with modern cryptographic requirements and put no restrictions on the
   confidentiality level of the protected information.

   This document is intended to be a source of information about the
   updated version of the 64-bit cipher.  It may facilitate the use of
   the block cipher in Internet applications by providing information
   for developers and users of a GOST 64-bit cipher with the revised
   version of the cipher for encryption and decryption.

2.  General Information

   The Russian Federal standard [GOSTR3412-2015] was developed by the
   Center for Information Protection and Special Communications of the
   Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, with
   participation of the open joint-stock company "Information
   Technologies and Communication Systems" (InfoTeCS JSC).  GOST R
   34.12-2015 was approved and introduced by Decree #749 of the Federal
   Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology on June 19, 2015.

   Terms and concepts in the specification comply with the following
   international standards:

   *  ISO/IEC 10116 [ISO-IEC10116]

   *  series of standards ISO/IEC 18033 [ISO-IEC18033-1][ISO-IEC18033-3]

3.  Definitions and Notation

   The following terms and their corresponding definitions are used in
   the specification.

3.1.  Definitions

   encryption algorithm:  process that transforms plaintext into
      ciphertext (Clause 2.19 of [ISO-IEC18033-1])

   decryption algorithm:  process that transforms ciphertext into
      plaintext (Clause 2.14 of [ISO-IEC18033-1])

   basic block cipher:  block cipher that, for a given key, provides a
      single invertible mapping of the set of fixed-length plaintext
      blocks into ciphertext blocks of the same length

   block:  string of bits of a defined length (Clause 2.6 of
      [ISO-IEC18033-1])

   block cipher:  symmetric encipherment system with the property that
      the encryption algorithm operates on a block of plaintext -- i.e.,
      a string of bits of a defined length -- to yield a block of
      ciphertext (Clause 2.7 of [ISO-IEC18033-1])

      Note: In GOST R 34.12-2015, it is established that the terms
      "block cipher" and "block encryption algorithm" are synonyms.

   encryption:  reversible transformation of data by a cryptographic
      algorithm to produce ciphertext -- i.e., to hide the information
      content of the data (Clause 2.18 of [ISO-IEC18033-1])

   round key:  sequence of symbols that is calculated from the key and
      controls a transformation for one round of a block cipher

   key:  sequence of symbols that controls the operation of a
      cryptographic transformation (e.g., encipherment, decipherment)
      (Clause 2.21 of [ISO-IEC18033-1])

      Note: In GOST R 34.12-2015, the key must be a binary sequence.

   plaintext:  unencrypted information (Clause 3.11 of [ISO-IEC10116])

   key schedule:  calculation of round keys from the key,

   decryption:  reversal of a corresponding encipherment (Clause 2.13 of
      [ISO-IEC18033-1])

   symmetric cryptographic technique:  cryptographic technique that uses
      the same secret key for both the originator's and the recipient's
      transformation (Clause 2.32 of [ISO-IEC18033-1])

   cipher:  alternative term for encipherment system (Clause 2.20 of
      [ISO-IEC18033-1])

   ciphertext:  data that has been transformed to hide its information
      content (Clause 3.3 of [ISO-IEC10116])

3.2.  Notation

   The following notation is used in the specification:

   V*  the set of all binary vector strings of a finite length
      (hereinafter referred to as the strings), including the empty
      string

   U[*]W  direct (Cartesian) product of two sets U and W

   |A|  the number of components (the length) of a string A belonging to
      V* (if A is an empty string, then |A| = 0)

   A||B  concatenation of strings A and B both belonging to V* -- i.e.,
      a string from V_(|A|+|B|), where the left substring from V_|A| is
      equal to A and the right substring from V_|B| is equal to B

   A<<<_11  cyclic rotation of string A belonging to V_32 by 11
      components in the direction of components having greater indices

   Z_(2^n)  ring of residues modulo 2^n

   [+]  addition in the ring Z_(2^32)

   Vec_s: Z_(2^s) -> V_s  bijective mapping that maps an element from
      ring Z_(2^s) into its binary representation; i.e., for an element
      z of the ring Z_(2^s), represented by the residue z_0 + (2*z_1) +
      ... + (2^(s-1)*z_(s-1)), where z_i in {0, 1}, i = 0, ..., n-1, the

4.  Parameter Values

4.1.  Nonlinear Bijection

   The bijective nonlinear mapping is a set of substitutions:

   Pi_i = Vec_4 Pi'_i Int_4: V_4 -> V_4,

   where

   Pi'_i: Z_(2^4) -> Z_(2^4), i = 0, 1, ..., 7.

4.2.  Transformations

   The following transformations are applicable for encryption and
   decryption algorithms:

   t: V_32 -> V_32
      t(a) = t(a_7||...||a_0) = Pi_7(a_7)||...||Pi_0(a_0), where
      a=a_7||...||a_0 belongs to V_32, a_i belongs to V_4, i=0, 1, ...,
      7.

   g[k]: V_32 -> V_32
      g[k](a) = (t(Vec_32(Int_32(a) [+] Int_32(k)))) <<<_11, where k, a
      belong to V_32

   G[k]: V_32[*]V_32 -> V_32[*]V_32
      G[k](a_1, a_0) = (a_0, g[k](a_0) (xor) a_1), where k, a_0, a_1
      belong to V_32

   G^*[k]: V_32[*]V_32 -> V_64
      G^*[k](a_1, a_0) = (g[k](a_0) (xor) a_1) || a_0, where k, a_0, a_1
      belong to V_32.

4.3.  Key Schedule

   Round keys K_i belonging to V_32, i=1, 2, ..., 32 are derived from
   key K = k_255||...||k_0 belonging to V_256, k_i belongs to V_1, i=0,
   1, ..., 255, as follows:

   K_1 = k_255||...||k_224;
   K_2 = k_223||...||k_192;
   K_3 = k_191||...||k_160;
   K_4 = k_159||...||k_128;
   K_5 = k_127||...||k_96;
   K_6 = k_95||...||k_64;
   K_7 = k_63||...||k_32;
   K_8 = k_31||...||k_0;
   K_(i+8) = K_i, i = 1, 2, ..., 8;
   K_(i+16) = K_i, i = 1, 2, ..., 8;
   K_(i+24) = K_(9-i), i = 1, 2, ..., 8.

5.  Basic Encryption Algorithm

5.1.  Encryption

   Depending on the values of round keys K_1,...,K_32, the encryption
   algorithm is a substitution E_(K_1,...,K_32) defined as follows:

   E_(K_1,...,K_32)(a)=G^*[K_32]G[K_31]...G[K_2]G[K_1](a_1, a_0),

   where a=(a_1, a_0) belongs to V_64, and a_0, a_1 belong to V_32.

5.2.  Decryption

   Depending on the values of round keys K_1,...,K_32, the decryption
   algorithm is a substitution D_(K_1,...,K_32) defined as follows:

   D_(K_1,...,K_32)(a)=G^*[K_1]G[K_2]...G[K_31]G[K_32](a_1, a_0),

   where a=(a_1, a_0) belongs to V_64, and a_0, a_1 belong to V_32.

6.  IANA Considerations

   This document has no IANA actions.

7.  Security Considerations

   This entire document is about security considerations.

   Unlike [RFC5830] (GOST 28147-89), but like [RFC7801], this
   specification does not define exact block modes that should be used
   together with the updated Magma cipher.  One is free to select block
   modes depending on the protocol and necessity.

   In this test example, decryption is performed on the round keys
   specified in Appendix A.3.  Let the ciphertext be

   b = 4ee901e5c2d8ca3d,

   then

   (b_1, b_0) = (4ee901e5, c2d8ca3d),
   G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (c2d8ca3d, 239a4577),

   G[K_23]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (625434c3, 11263a21),
   G[K_22]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (11263a21, bac8444d),
   G[K_21]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (bac8444d, 89cadf21),
   G[K_20]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (89cadf21, e7116722),
   G[K_19]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (e7116722, e32805bc),

   G[K_17]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (4f15b0bb, 2098cd86),
   G[K_16]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (2098cd86, fef51b68),
   G[K_15]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (fef51b68, 44ca5ce1),
   G[K_14]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (44ca5ce1, c4b3edca),
   G[K_13]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (c4b3edca, 4811c7ad),
   G[K_12]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (4811c7ad, 93c1f449),
   G[K_11]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (93c1f449, ce995f2a),
   G[K_10]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (ce995f2a, 46324615),
   G[K_9]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (46324615, 37d97f25),
   G[K_8]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (37d97f25, ad0310a4),
   G[K_7]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (ad0310a4, 11fe726d),
   G[K_6]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (11fe726d, ea89c02c),
   G[K_5]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (ea89c02c, 633a7c68),
   G[K_4]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (633a7c68, b14337a5),
   G[K_3]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (b14337a5, 28da3b14),
   G[K_2]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = (28da3b14, 76543210).

   Then the plaintext is

   a = G^*[K_1]G[K_2]...G[K_32](b_1, b_0) = fedcba9876543210.

Appendix B.  Background

   This specification is a translation of relevant parts of the
   [GOSTR3412-2015] standard.  The order of terms in both parts of
   Section 3 comes from the original text.  Combining [RFC7801] with
   this document will create a complete translation of [GOSTR3412-2015]
   into English.

   Algorithmically, Magma is a variation of the block cipher defined in
   [RFC5830] ([GOST28147-89]) with the following clarifications and
   minor modifications:

   1.  S-BOX set is fixed at id-tc26-gost-28147-param-Z (see Appendix C
       of [RFC7836]);

   2.  key is parsed as a single big-endian integer (compared to the
       little-endian approach used in [GOST28147-89]), which results in
       different subkey values being used;

   3.  data bytes are also parsed as a single big-endian integer
       (instead of being parsed as little-endian integer).
