Title "DES_RANDOM_KEY 3"
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
There are two phases to the use of \s-1DES\s0 encryption. The first is the generation of a DES_key_schedule from a key, the second is the actual encryption. A \s-1DES\s0 key is of type DES_cblock. This type consists of 8 bytes with odd parity. The least significant bit in each byte is the parity bit. The key schedule is an expanded form of the key; it is used to speed the encryption process.
\fBDES_random_key() generates a random key. The random generator must be seeded when calling this function. If the automatic seeding or reseeding of the OpenSSL \s-1CSPRNG\s0 fails due to external circumstances (see \s-1RAND\s0\|(7)), the operation will fail. If the function fails, 0 is returned.
Before a \s-1DES\s0 key can be used, it must be converted into the architecture dependent DES_key_schedule via the \fBDES_set_key_checked() or DES_set_key_unchecked() function.
\fBDES_set_key_checked() will check that the key passed is of odd parity and is not a weak 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.
\fBDES_set_key() works like \fBDES_set_key_checked() if the DES_check_key flag is nonzero, otherwise like DES_set_key_unchecked(). These functions are available for compatibility; it is recommended to use a function that does not depend on a global variable.
\fBDES_set_odd_parity() sets the parity of the passed key to odd.
\fBDES_is_weak_key() returns 1 if the passed key is a weak key, 0 if it is ok.
The following routines mostly operate on an input and output stream of \fIDES_cblocks.
\fBDES_ecb_encrypt() is the basic \s-1DES\s0 encryption routine that encrypts or decrypts a single 8-byte DES_cblock in electronic code book (\s-1ECB\s0) mode. It always transforms the input data, pointed to by \fIinput, into the output data, pointed to by the output argument. If the encrypt argument is nonzero (\s-1DES_ENCRYPT\s0), the input (cleartext) is encrypted in to the output (ciphertext) using the key_schedule specified by the schedule argument, previously set via \fIDES_set_key. If encrypt is zero (\s-1DES_DECRYPT\s0), the input (now ciphertext) is decrypted into the output (now cleartext). Input and output may overlap. DES_ecb_encrypt() does not return a value.
\fBDES_ecb3_encrypt() encrypts/decrypts the input block by using three-key Triple-DES encryption in \s-1ECB\s0 mode. This involves encrypting the input with ks1, decrypting with the key schedule ks2, and then encrypting with ks3. This routine greatly reduces the chances of brute force breaking of \s-1DES\s0 and has the advantage of if ks1, \fIks2 and ks3 are the same, it is equivalent to just encryption using \s-1ECB\s0 mode and ks1 as the key.
The macro DES_ecb2_encrypt() is provided to perform two-key Triple-DES encryption by using ks1 for the final encryption.
\fBDES_ncbc_encrypt() encrypts/decrypts using the cipher-block-chaining (\s-1CBC\s0) mode of \s-1DES.\s0 If the encrypt argument is nonzero, the routine cipher-block-chain encrypts the cleartext data pointed to by the input argument into the ciphertext pointed to by the output argument, using the key schedule provided by the schedule argument, and initialization vector provided by the ivec argument. If the \fIlength 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.
\fBDES_xcbc_encrypt() is \s-1RSA\s0's \s-1DESX\s0 mode of \s-1DES.\s0 It uses inw and \fIoutw to 'whiten' the encryption. inw and outw are secret (unlike the iv) and are as such, part of the key. So the key is sort of 24 bytes. This is much better than \s-1CBC DES.\s0
\fBDES_ede3_cbc_encrypt() implements outer triple \s-1CBC DES\s0 encryption with three keys. This means that each \s-1DES\s0 operation inside the \s-1CBC\s0 mode is \f(CW\*(C`C=E(ks3,D(ks2,E(ks1,M)))\*(C'. This mode is used by \s-1SSL.\s0
The DES_ede2_cbc_encrypt() macro implements two-key Triple-DES by reusing ks1 for the final encryption. \*(C`C=E(ks1,D(ks2,E(ks1,M)))\*(C'. This form of Triple-DES is used by the \s-1RSAREF\s0 library.
\fBDES_pcbc_encrypt() encrypts/decrypts using the propagating cipher block chaining mode used by Kerberos v4. Its parameters are the same as \fBDES_ncbc_encrypt().
\fBDES_cfb_encrypt() encrypts/decrypts using cipher feedback mode. This method takes an array of characters as input and outputs an 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 \s-1DES ECB\s0 encryption per numbits, this function is only suggested for use when sending a small number of characters.
\fBDES_cfb64_encrypt() implements \s-1CFB\s0 mode of \s-1DES\s0 with 64-bit feedback. Why is this useful you ask? Because this routine will allow you to encrypt an arbitrary number of bytes, without 8 byte padding. Each call to this routine will encrypt the input bytes to output and then update ivec and num. num contains 'how far' we are though ivec. If this does not make much sense, read more about \s-1CFB\s0 mode of \s-1DES.\s0
\fBDES_ede3_cfb64_encrypt() and DES_ede2_cfb64_encrypt() is the same as \fBDES_cfb64_encrypt() except that Triple-DES is used.
\fBDES_ofb_encrypt() encrypts using output feedback mode. This method takes an array of characters as input and outputs an 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 \s-1DES ECB\s0 encryption per numbits, this function is only suggested for use when sending a small number of characters.
\fBDES_ofb64_encrypt() is the same as DES_cfb64_encrypt() using Output Feed Back mode.
\fBDES_ede3_ofb64_encrypt() and DES_ede2_ofb64_encrypt() is the same as \fBDES_ofb64_encrypt(), using Triple-DES.
The following functions are included in the \s-1DES\s0 library for compatibility with the \s-1MIT\s0 Kerberos library.
\fBDES_cbc_cksum() produces an 8 byte checksum based on the input stream (via \s-1CBC\s0 encryption). The last 4 bytes of the checksum are returned and the complete 8 bytes are placed in output. This function is used by Kerberos v4. Other applications should use \fBEVP_DigestInit\|(3) etc. instead.
\fBDES_quad_cksum() is a Kerberos v4 function. It returns a 4 byte checksum from the input bytes. The algorithm can be iterated over the input, depending on out_count, 1, 2, 3 or 4 times. If output is non-NULL, the 8 bytes generated by each pass are written into \fIoutput.
The following are DES-based transformations:
\fBDES_fcrypt() is a fast version of the Unix crypt\|(3) function. This version takes only a small amount of space relative to other fast \fBcrypt() implementations. This is different to the normal crypt() in that the third parameter is the buffer that the return value is written into. It needs to be at least 14 bytes long. This function is thread safe, unlike the normal crypt().
\fBDES_crypt() is a faster replacement for the normal system crypt(). This function calls DES_fcrypt() with a static array passed as the third parameter. This mostly emulates the normal non-thread-safe semantics of crypt\|(3). The salt must be two \s-1ASCII\s0 characters.
The values returned by DES_fcrypt() and DES_crypt() are terminated by \s-1NUL\s0 character.
\fBDES_enc_write() writes len bytes to file descriptor fd from buffer buf. The data is encrypted via pcbc_encrypt (default) using sched for the key and iv as a starting vector. The actual data send down 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.
\fBDES_cfb_encrypt() and 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!
\fBDES_string_to_key() is available for backward compatibility with the \s-1MIT\s0 library. New applications should use a cryptographic hash function. The same applies for DES_string_to_2key().
Applications should use the higher level functions \fBEVP_EncryptInit\|(3) etc. instead of calling these functions directly.
Single-key \s-1DES\s0 is insecure due to its short key size. \s-1ECB\s0 mode is not suitable for most applications; see des_modes\|(7).
\fBDES_cbc_cksum() and DES_quad_cksum() return 4-byte integer representing the last 4 bytes of the checksum of the input.
\fBDES_fcrypt() returns a pointer to the caller-provided buffer and DES_crypt() - to a static buffer on success; otherwise they return \s-1NULL.\s0
