17.2.2 AES Algorithm

The AES algorithm generates block ciphers. The AES block size is 16 bytes. The AES keys can be coded on 128, 192, or 256 bits. The larger key sizes provide a higher level of security, but at the cost of a moderate decrease in throughput.

For the AES algorithm:

  • The length of the input and output blocks is 128 bits. The block length is represented by Nb = 4, which reflects the number of 32-bit words.
  • The length of the cipher key (K) is 128, 192, or 256 bits. The key length is represented by Nk = 4, 6, or 8, which reflects the number of 32-bit words in the cipher key.
  • The number of rounds to be performed during the execution of the algorithm depends on the key size. The number of rounds is represented by Nr, where Nr = 10 when Nk = 4 (128-bit key); Nr = 12 when Nk = 6 (192-bit key); and Nr = 14 when Nk = 8 (256-bit key).

Table 17-1 lists the combinations of keys, blocks, and rounds.

Table 17-1 Key-Block-Round Combinations
KeyKey Length (Nk)Block Size (Nb)Number of Rounds (Nr)
128 bits4410
192 bits6412
256 bits8414

The AES algorithm for cipher and inverse cipher uses a round function composed of four different byte-oriented transformations:

  • Byte substitution using a substitution table (S-Box): This transformation is a nonlinear byte substitution that operates independently on each byte of the state (the state is an intermediate processed block of 128 bits inside the AES; the state is arranged as an array of [4 × Nk] bytes) using an S-Box. This S-Box transformation is reversible.
  • Shifting rows of the state array by different offsets: In this transformation, the bytes in the last three rows of the state are cyclically shifted over different numbers of bytes (offsets). The first row (r = 0) is not shifted.
  • Mixing the data within each column of the state array: This transformation operates on the state column-by-column, treating each column as a 4-term polynomial. The columns are considered polynomials over GF(28) and multiplied modulo x4 + 1 with a fixed polynomial a(x).
  • Adding a round key to the state: In this transformation, a round key is added to the state by a simple bitwise XOR operation. Each round key consists of Nb words from the key schedule.

The AES algorithm takes the cipher key (K) and performs a key expansion routine to generate a key schedule. The key expansion generates a total of Nb × (Nr + 1) words: The algorithm requires an initial set of Nb words, and each Nr round requires Nb words of key data. The resulting key schedule consists of a linear array of 4-byte words, denoted [wi], with i in the range 0 ≤ i ≤ Nb × (Nr + 1).
