DATA ENCRYPTION APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND DATA DECRYPTION APPARATUS AND METHOD

TECHNICAL FIELD

Embodiments set forth herein relate to data encryption and decryption technology.

BACKGROUND ART

If data is encrypted using a conventional block encryption algorithm, when an cryptographic key is exposed to an attacker, the encrypted data may be decrypted, and thus, the data may be exposed. Accordingly, protecting/managing the cryptographic key is a very important issue.

Generally, in data encryption using a block cipher, the length of an cryptographic key, the size of an encrypted block, and a number of rounds are factors influencing security. Among such factors, a mode of operation in which a message is divided and encrypted in units of blocks plays an important role. In a block encryption algorithm employing the mode of operation, encryption is performed in units of blocks and the same cryptographic key is used for all the blocks.

However, in the data encryption using the conventional block encryption algorithm, the number of encrypted data blocks increases as the length of data to be encrypted increases. Thus, the data is encrypted using the encryption algorithm a number of times corresponding to the number of the encrypted data blocks. Accordingly, since a data encryption speed decreases as the amount of data increases, it is difficult to use the data encryption using the conventional block encryption algorithm when a large amount of data is encrypted, i.e., when encryption speed is important.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a data encryption apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a data decryption apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment. In some embodiments, a data encryption apparatus 100 and a data decryption apparatus 200 which are examples may be implemented or included in different computing apparatuses. Each of the computing apparatuses may include one or more processors, and a computer-readable storage medium such as a memory accessible by the one or more processors. The computer-readable storage medium may be located inside or outside the processor and connected to the processor using various well-known means. The computer-readable storage medium may store a computer-executable command. The processor may execute a command stored in the computer-readable storage medium. When the command is executed by the processor, the computing apparatus may perform an operation according to an exemplary embodiment.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the data encryption apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 1, the data encryption apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present embodiments includes a divider 110, an encryptor 130, and an encoder 150.

The data encryption apparatus 100 is configured to generate encrypted data (for example, digital ciphertext) by encrypting plaintext data (for example, digital plaintext).

The divider 110 divides plaintext data to be encrypted into a plurality of plaintext blocks. For example, the divider 110 may generate a plurality of plaintext blocks by dividing the plaintext data in units of blocks having a certain size. In this case, for example, a padding process of padding a predefined value in the last block may be performed to equalize the sizes of the plurality of plaintext blocks.

The encryptor 130 encrypts at least one among some of the plurality of plaintext blocks and an initial value for encryption using an cryptographic key-based block encryption scheme.

The cryptographic key-based block encryption scheme may include various types of encryption schemes for encrypting data in units of blocks using a symmetric key or an asymmetric key. For example, the encryptor 130 may generate a ciphertext block using a well-known block encryption algorithm using a symmetric key or an asymmetric key, such as an advanced encryption standard (AES), a data encryption standard (DES), 3DES, Blowfish, an international data encryption algorithm (IDEA), RC2, RC5, RC6, SEED, ARIA, Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA), a digital signature algorithm (DSA), an elliptic curve cryptosystem (ECC), Elgamal, a white box-based encryption algorithm, etc.

The initial value may include, for example, an initialization vector (IV) that is an arbitrary bit string or a counter value that increases by 1 each time a plaintext block is encrypted. In this case, the encryptor 130 may generate ciphertext blocks by encrypting the initial value (for example, an initialization vector or an initial counter value) using the cryptographic key-based block encryption scheme according to a mode of operation which is to be described below, or by encrypting some of the plurality of plaintext blocks using the initial value (for example, an initialization vector or an initial counter value) according to the cryptographic key-based block encryption scheme.

The encoder 150 encodes the other plaintext blocks, which have not been encrypted by the encryptor 130, using a non-cryptographic key-based encoding scheme.

In one embodiment, the non-cryptographic key-based encoding scheme may include various types of encoding schemes that may hide data without using an cryptographic key. For example, the non-cryptographic key-based encoding scheme may include an encoding scheme using at least one among a logical operation, a one-way function, a one-way permutation, and a logical function consisting of a plurality of logical operations.

According to an embodiment of the present embodiments, the encoder 150 may generate ciphertext blocks by encoding plaintext blocks, which have not been encrypted by the encryptor 130, using the initial value (for example, an initialization value or a counter value) according to a mode of operation which is to be described below.

According to an embodiment of the present embodiments, the encoder 150 may generate ciphertext blocks by sequentially encoding the plaintext blocks, which have not been encrypted by the encryptor 130, according to an operation mode that is to be described below, using either a ciphertext block generated in a previous operation or the ciphertext block generated in the previous operation and a plaintext block used to generate the ciphertext block.

According to an embodiment of the present embodiments, the encryptor 130 and the encoder 150 may encrypt plaintext data using a method similar to a conventional mode of operation for block encryption. For example, the encryptor 130 and the encoder 150 may encrypt plaintext data using one mode of operation among an electronic code book (ECB) mode, a cipher block chaining (CBC) mode, a propagating cipher block chaining (PCBC) mode, a cipher feedback (CFB) mode, an output feedback (OFB), and a counter (CTR) mode. However, one encryption algorithm is applied to encrypting plaintext data in the conventional mode of operation used for a block encryption algorithm, whereas a block encryption scheme and an encoding scheme are applied to encrypting plaintext data in the mode of operation according to an embodiment of the present embodiments. That is, data encrypted according to an embodiment of the present embodiments includes ciphertext blocks generated using the cryptographic key-based block encryption scheme and ciphertext blocks generated using the non-cryptographic key-based encoding scheme. A specific operation according to a mode of operation will be described in detail below.

According to an embodiment of the present embodiments, the data encryption apparatus 100 may further include an initial value generator 170 configured to generate the initial value when encrypted data is generated according to a mode of operation using an initial value (for example, an initialization vector or a counter value).

The divider 110, the encryptor 130, the encoder 150, and the initial value generator 170 are classified according to functions performed in the data encryption apparatus 100. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the divider 110, the encryptor 130, the encoder 150, and the initial value generator 170 are illustrated as separate components but embodiments are not limited thereto. The divider 110, the encryptor 130, the encoder 150, and the initial value generator 170 may not be clearly classified according to specific operations.

In the above-described example, the encryptor 130 performs encryption using a well-known specific encryption algorithm but embodiments are not limited thereto. For example, on the basis of a predetermined operation mode, the encryptor 130 and the encoder 150 may encrypt plaintext data using an encryption algorithm designed to encrypt some of plaintext data using a symmetric key or an asymmetric key according to a block encryption scheme and encode the remaining plaintext data according to a certain encoding scheme that does not use an cryptographic key.

In one embodiment, the divider 110, the encryptor 130, the encoder 150, and the initial value generator 170 may be implemented in a computing apparatus including one or more processors and a computer-readable recording medium connected to the processor. The computer-readable recording medium may be located inside or outside the processor, and connected to the processor using various well-known means. The processor located in the computing apparatus may control the computing apparatus to operate according to an exemplary embodiment described herein. For example, the processor may execute a command stored in the computer-readable recording medium, and the command stored in the computer-readable recording medium may be configured, when executed by the processor, to cause the computing apparatus to perform operations according to an exemplary embodiment described herein.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the data decryption apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present embodiments.

The data decryption apparatus 200 of FIG. 2 is configured to generate plaintext data by decrypting data encrypted by the data encryption apparatus 100 of FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 2, the data decryption apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present embodiments includes a decryptor 210 and a decoder 230.

The decryptor 210 may decrypt some blocks of encrypted data using an cryptographic key-based block decryption scheme. For example, as described above with reference to FIG. 1, data encrypted by the data encryption apparatus 100 may include a ciphertext block encrypted using the cryptographic key-based block encryption scheme and a ciphertext block encoded using the non-cryptographic key-based encoding scheme. Thus, according to an embodiment of the present embodiments, the decryptor 210 may decrypt a ciphertext block of encrypted data, which was encrypted using the cryptographic key-based block encryption scheme, using the encryption-based block decryption scheme.

The encryption-based block decryption scheme may include various types of decryption methods of decrypting data in units of blocks using a symmetric key or an asymmetric key. For example, the decryptor 210 may decrypt some of the ciphertext blocks using a well-known block decryption algorithm using a symmetric key or an asymmetric key, such as the AES, the DES, the 3DES, Blowfish, the IDEA, RC2, RC5, RC6, SEED, ARIA, RSA, the DSA, the ECC, ELGmal, the white box-based decryption algorithm, etc.

The decoder 230 may decode ciphertext blocks of encrypted data that have not been decrypted by the decryptor 210 using a non-cryptographic key-based decoding scheme. The non-cryptographic key-based decoding scheme may include a decoding scheme employing at least one among a logical operation, a one-way function, a one-way permutation, and a logical function.

According to an embodiment of the present embodiments, the decoder 230 may generate plaintext blocks by decoding ciphertext blocks, which have not been decrypted by the decryptor 210, using an initial value or a counter value according to a mode of operation mode for decrypting encrypted data.

According to an embodiment of the present embodiments, the decoder 230 may generate plaintext blocks by sequentially decoding ciphertext blocks, which have not been decrypted by the decryptor 210, according to the mode of operation for decrypting encrypted data using either a ciphertext block used to generate a plaintext block generated in a previous operation or the plaintext generated in the previous operation and the ciphertext block used to generate the previous plaintext block.

According to an embodiment of the present embodiments, the decryptor 210 and the decoder 230 may decrypt encrypted data using the same mode of operation as that used by the data encryption apparatus 100 to generate encrypted data. For example, the decryptor 210 and the decoder 230 may decrypt data encrypted using one operation mode among an ECB mode, a CBC mode, a PCBC mode, a CFB mode, an OFB mode, and a CTR mode, as will be described in detail below.

According to an embodiment of the present embodiments, the data decryption apparatus 200 may further include an initial value generator 250 configured to generate an initial value when plaintext data is generated according to a mode of operation using an initial value (for example, an initialization vector or a counter value).

The decryptor 210, the decoder 230, and the initial value generator 250 are classified according to functions performed in the data decryption apparatus 200. In the embodiment of FIG. 2, the decryptor 210, the decoder 230, and the initial value generator 250 are illustrated as separate components. However, embodiments are not limited thereto, and the decryptor 210, the decoder 230, and the initial value generator 250 may not be clearly classified in terms of specific operations.

In the above-described example, the decryptor 210 performs decryption using a well-known specific decryption algorithm but embodiments are not limited thereto. For example, on the basis of a predetermined operation mode, the decryptor 210 and the decoder 230 may generate plaintext data from encrypted data using a decryption algorithm designed to decrypt some of encrypted data using a symmetric key or an asymmetric key according to a block decryption scheme and decode the remaining encrypted data according to a certain decoding scheme that does not use an cryptographic key

In one embodiment, the decryptor 210, the decoder 230, and the initial value generator 250 may be implemented in a computing apparatus including one or more processors and a computer-readable recording medium connected to the processor. The computer-readable recording medium may be located inside or outside the processor, and connected to the processor using various well-known means. The processor located in the computing apparatus may control the computing apparatus to operate according to an exemplary embodiment described herein. For example, the processor may execute a command stored in the computer-readable recording medium, and the command stored in the computer-readable recording medium may be configured, when executed by the processor, to cause the computing apparatus to perform operations according to an exemplary embodiment described herein.

Examples of operations of the data encryption apparatus 100 and the data decryption apparatus 200 according to each mode of operation will be described in more detail below. In the following embodiments, it will be described for convenience of explanation that an AES algorithm is used as a block encryption scheme and an exclusive-or (XOR) operation or an XOR operation and a logical function are used as an encoding scheme. However, embodiments are not limited thereto.
