  1. ComparisonAES-Rijndael/Serpent 2G1704: Internet Security and Privacy Weltz Max

  2. Outline • Historical perspective • Description of AES-Rijndael • Description of Serpent • Comparison

  3. Historical perspective • 1998 Advanced Encryption Standard contest • 1999 Serpent and Rijndael among the last 5 finalist algorithms • Along with Mars, RC6 and Twofish • 2000 Rijndael selected as AES algorithm

  4. --------------- 32 Description of Rijndael • Main elements • Parameters • Key size: 128, 160, 192, 224, 256bits • Block size: 128, 160, 192, 224, 256bits • Number of rounds: 6+max(Bs,Ks) • Operations •  • Two substitutions tables • Rearrangement of octets • Key schedule

  5. Description of Rijndael • State array • Size of Bs • Organized in 4-octet columns

  6. Description of Rijndael • Rounds • Octets through the S-Box • Rows shifted • Columns mixed

  7. Description of Rijndael • Key expansion • As many round as required • Obtain (Nr+1)Bs/32 columns

  8. What is AES-Rijndael? • AES’ recommendations for Rijndael • Block size: • 128-bits • Key size: • 128bits -> AES-128 -> 10 rounds • 196bits -> AES-196 -> 12 rounds • 256bits -> AES-256 -> 14 rounds

  9. Description of Serpent • Parameters • Key size: 128, 192, 256bits • 128 and 192bit keys are padded with 100… • Block size: 128bits • Number of rounds: 32 • 16 rounds are supposedly enough • Operations •  • 8 substitution tables (S-boxes) • Linear transformation • Key schedule

  10. Description of Serpent • Process • Initial permutation • 32 Rounds • Final permutation • Permutations • Statically defined • Simplifying the optimized implementation

  11. Description of Serpent • Rounds • Key mixing • Pass through S-box • Linear transformation • Except for the last round • ( 33rd subkey)

  12. Source: Wikipedia Descriptionof Serpent • Linear transformation • Left-rotations • ’ing • Left-shifts

  13. Descriptionof Serpent • Key expansion • Padding (100…) • Affine expansion • S-boxes • Collapsing

  14. Comparison • Process • Security • Hardware performance • Software performance

  15. Adapted from [Lutz02] Comparison: Process

  16. Comparison: Security

  17. Rijndael 2.26Gbit/s @ 88.5MHz Assets Small number Of rounds Of subkeys Identical rounds Drawbacks Variable number of rounds Key length matters Large S-boxes Serpent 1.96Gbit/s @ 122.9MHz Assets Fixed number of rounds Key lengths does not matter Small S-boxes Drawbacks Different S-Box types Larger number Of rounds Of subkeys No hardware shared between encryption and decryption Comparison: Hardware

  18. Comparison: Software • Performance(see figures) • Serpent • 2 to 6 times slower • Non-symmetrical performances • But stable performances when changing architecture Pentium 133Mhz MMX | Pentium Pro C/Pentium Pro ASM

  19. Conclusion • Rijndael chosen by AES: why? • Fastest for small blocks and hashes encryption • Second fastest for bulk encryption • But • Security issues • In 1999, Schneier et al. claimed there was no possible timing attacks against Rijndael… • In 2006, a timing attack is found • Serpent is more secure if you are ready to spend more time

  20. • Questions• Opposition
