Making steps into the right direction with my Rijndael cipher script. Almost done now with the key expansion and the so called g-function. Last step is implementation of the round constants.
When that is done I 'only' have to put all the stuff in a proper loop. If that works I will be happy, but the journey will not end there. A lot of testing and see how to decrypt...

Finally found my way through the Galois Fields.
The mix-colums part of the Rijndael key scheduler is done now.
Next up: generating round keys.

In my 'baes' :) project I am struggling with Galois Fields and get field-exceeding values properly calculated.

I am home now and suddenly it struck me that probably the solution can be (note-to-self):

After multiplication with the irreducible polynomial, use a mask and a bitwise AND to keep only the lower 7 bits of the final result value.

I.e.:
value=0xA3F
mask=0x7F
result=$(( value & mask ))
So then the result will become: 0b00111111

Hopefully this will work...

Shift rows in the pocket!

The substitution box, one of the steps in key scheduling for the Rijndael cipher, is working.

The table is in hexadecimal, therefore some sub-optimal conversion is going on. But it works for now.

Still far away from fully working, but I am still making good progress each time I work on this project.

Next up: bitwise row and column shifting.

Steadily on my way builing an Rijndael-esque encryptor.
Building upon my #xor shell script; yesterday I made an 256 bits sustitution table.
Today I made the foundation of a key scheduler. Interestingly bash is able to process 4×4, 6×4 or 8×4 matrices. And the code is still quite simple. I am learning a lot and enjoying all the little puzzles to solve!
Follow my progress on #codeberg.

Duck.ai is not able to generate a complete substitution matrix from the Rijndael cipher. It starts off promising, but then gets stuck about halfway. I asked it to generate the table from the halfway point and it did. But it made up the values it produced. #stupidai

Cut the #base64 endoding from my #xor shall script. Also adjusted to a non-redundant key length for the last chunk of input into the xor function.
Next hurdle: proper key rotation...
Will upload my progress to the repos asap.
#linix #bash #xor #enccryption

The #base64 command has a wrap option. If it is set to 0 then you basically have created a base64 stream (without any EOL's). Which comes in handy for my #xor project.
Development btw is published when I have internet connection;

Enjoy your day!
#linux #commandline #script

I realized that #encryption is not easy. Adjusted my goal from building a full blown Rijndael #cipher to a more simple xor block cipher. For educational purposes only!

Now I am more or less ready with the #base64 encoding of the input (#plaintext and #key), conversion to #ASCII #hex and then creating #binary codes. Then the plaintext has to be split into 16 byte blocks, which are to be #xor-ed with the key.

Todo: key-rotation, to make the algorithm stronger.

Today I learned: all the above. But especially how valuable base64 encoding is for converting non-ASCII characters.

Okay, I now want to write the Rijndael algorithm (AES) in bash.
Is that even possible?
Any suggestions appreciated!
Wish me luck. 😃
