1.  Introduction

1.1. Changes from RFC 4009

   This specification obsoletes RFC 4009, because RFC 4009 had ambiguous
   function and SS-boxes definitions cryptographically.  Thus, some
   definitions have been changed, and for better understanding, the SEED
   pseudo codes have been modified.  This update is to provide clarity
   and facilitate the development of interoperable implementations.  The
   SEED algorithm itself has not been changed.

   This specification updates RFC 4009 in the following areas:

     -  Pseudo code changes.  The pseudo code in Section 2 of RFC 4009
        is insufficient for the explanation of the structure of SEED.
        Thus, detailed pseudo code is introduced.

     -  Some corrections of errata, which are the definitions of R1', Z,
        X, and SS-boxes.

1.2.  SEED Overview

   SEED is a 128-bit symmetric key block cipher that has been developed
   by KISA (Korea Information Security Agency) since 1998.  SEED is a
   national standard encryption algorithm in the Republic of Korea
   [TTASSEED] and is designed to use the S-boxes and permutations that
   balance with the current computing technology.  It has the Feistel
   structure with 16-round and is strong against DC (Differential
   Cryptanalysis), LC (Linear Cryptanalysis), and related key attacks,
   balanced with security/efficiency trade-off.

   The features of SEED are outlined as follows:

     -  The Feistel structure with 16-round
     -  128-bit input/output data block size
     -  128-bit key length
     -  A round function that is strong against known attacks
     -  Two 8x8 S-boxes
     -  Mixed operations of XOR and modular addition

   SEED has been widely used in the Republic of Korea for confidential
   services such as electronic commerce; e.g., financial services
   provided in wired and wireless communication.

1.3.  Notation

   The following notation is used in the description of the SEED
   encryption algorithm:

      &             bitwise AND
      ^             bitwise exclusive OR
      +             addition in modular 2**32
      -             subtraction in modular 2**32
      ||            concatenation
      << n          left circular rotation by n bits
      >> n          right circular rotation by n bits
      0x            hexadecimal representation

2.  The Structure of SEED

   The input/output block size of SEED is 128 bits, and the key length
   is also 128 bits.  SEED has the 16-round Feistel structure.  A
   128-bit input is divided into two 64-bit blocks (L, R), and the right
   64-bit block is an input to the round function F, with a 64-bit
   subkey Ki generated from the key schedule.  L is the most significant
   64 bits of 128-bit input, and R is the least significant 64 bits.

   A pseudo code for the structure of SEED is as follows:

        Input : (L, R)

        for i = 1 to 15

            T = R;
            R = L ^ F(Ki, R);
            L = T;

        L = L ^ F(K16, R), R=R

        Output : (L, R)

        Where T is a temporary.

2.1.  The Round Function F

   SEED uses two 8x8 S-boxes, permutations, rotations, and basic modular
   operations such as exclusive OR (XOR) and additions to provide strong
   security, high speed, and simplicity in its implementation.

   A 64-bit input block of the round function F is divided into two
   32-bit blocks (R0, R1) and wrapped with 4 phases:




Lee, et al.                  Informational                      [Page 3]

RFC 4269             The SEED Encryption Algorithm         December 2005


      -  A mixing phase of two 32-bit subkey blocks (Ki0, Ki1)
      -  3 layers of function G (see Section 2.2), with additions for
         mixing two 32-bit blocks

   Where R0 is the most significant 32 bits of R, and R1 is the least
   significant 32 bits.

   The outputs (R0', R1') of function F are as follows:

   R0' = G[ G[ G[(R0 ^ Ki0) ^ (R1 ^ Ki1)] + (R0 ^ Ki0)] + G[(R0 ^ Ki0) ^
         (R1 ^ Ki1)]] + G[ G[(R0 ^ Ki0) ^ (R1 ^ Ki1)] + (R0 ^ Ki0)]

   R1' = G[ G[ G[(R0 ^ Ki0) ^ (R1 ^ Ki1)] + (R0 ^ Ki0)] + G[(R0 ^ Ki0) ^
         (R1 ^ Ki1)]]

2.2.  The Function G

   The function G has two layers: a layer of two 8x8 S-boxes and a layer
   of block permutation of sixteen 8-bit sub-blocks.  The outputs Z (=
   Z3 || Z2 || Z1 || Z0) of the function G with four 8-bit inputs X (=
   X3 || X2 || X1 || X0) are as follows:

     Z0 = {S0(X0) & m0} ^ {S1(X1) & m1} ^ {S0(X2) & m2} ^ {S1(X3) & m3}
     Z1 = {S0(X0) & m1} ^ {S1(X1) & m2} ^ {S0(X2) & m3} ^ {S1(X3) & m0}
     Z2 = {S0(X0) & m2} ^ {S1(X1) & m3} ^ {S0(X2) & m0} ^ {S1(X3) & m1}
     Z3 = {S0(X0) & m3} ^ {S1(X1) & m0} ^ {S0(X2) & m1} ^ {S1(X3) & m2}

     where m0 = 0xFC, m1 = 0xF3, m2 = 0xCF, and m3 = 0x3F.

   To increase the efficiency of G function, four extended S-boxes
   "SS-box" (see Appendix A.2) are defined as follows:

   SS0(X0)= {S0(X0)& m3} || {S0(X0)& m2} || {S0(X0)& m1} || {S0(X0)& m0}
   SS1(X1)= {S1(X1)& m0} || {S1(X1)& m3} || {S1(X1)& m2} || {S1(X1)& m1}
   SS2(X2)= {S0(X2)& m1} || {S0(X2)& m0} || {S0(X2)& m3} || {S0(X2)& m2}
   SS3(X3)= {S1(X3)& m2} || {S1(X3)& m1} || {S1(X3)& m0} || {S1(X3)& m3}

   New G function, Z, can be defined as follows:

     Z = SS0(X0) ^ SS1(X1) ^ SS2(X2) ^ SS3(X3)

   This new G function is faster than the original G function but takes
   more memory to store four SS-boxes.

2.3.  Key Schedule

   The key schedule generates each round's subkeys.  It uses the
   function G, addition in modular 2**32, subtraction in modular 2**32,
   and (left/right) circular rotation.  A 128-bit input key is divided
   into four 32-bit blocks (Key0, Key1, Key2, Key3).  The two 32-bit
   subkeys of the ith round, Ki0 and Ki1, are generated as follows:

      - Type 1 : Odd round
        Ki0 = G(Key0 + Key2 - KCi)
        Ki1 = G(Key1 - Key3 + KCi)
        Key0 || Key1 = (Key0 || Key1) >> 8

      - Type 2 : Even round
        Ki0 = G(Key0 + Key2 - KCi)
        Ki1 = G(Key1 - Key3 + KCi)
        Key2 || Key3 = (Key2 || Key3) << 8

   Where Ki0 is the most significant 32 bits of Ki, and Ki1 is the least
   significant 32 bits of Ki (where i=0,...,3).

   The following table shows constants used in KCi:

          i    |    Value          i    |    Value
         ============================================
         KC1   |  0x9E3779B9      KC2   |  0x3C6EF373
         KC3   |  0x78DDE6E6      KC4   |  0xF1BBCDCC
         KC5   |  0xE3779B99      KC6   |  0xC6EF3733
         KC7   |  0x8DDE6E67      KC8   |  0x1BBCDCCF
         KC9   |  0x3779B99E      KC10  |  0x6EF3733C
         KC11  |  0xDDE6E678      KC12  |  0xBBCDCCF1
         KC13  |  0x779B99E3      KC14  |  0xEF3733C6
         KC15  |  0xDE6E678D      KC16  |  0xBCDCCF1B

   A pseudo code for the key schedule is as follows:

         Input : (Key0, Key1, Key2, Key3)

         for i = 1 to 16
           Ki0 = G(Key0 + Key2 - KCi)
           Ki1 = G(Key1 - Key3 + KCi)
           if i is odd
                  Key0 || Key1 = (Key0 || Key1) >> 8
           else
                  Key2 || Key3 = (Key2 || Key3) << 8

         Output : (Keyi0, Keyi1), i=1 to 16

2.4.  Decryption Procedure

   Decryption procedure is the reverse step of the encryption procedure.
   It can be implemented by using the encryption algorithm with reverse
   order of the round subkeys.

2.5.  SEED Object Identifiers

   For those who may be using SEED in algorithm negotiation within a
   protocol, or in any other context that may require the use of Object
   Identifiers (OIDs), the following three OIDs have been defined.

     algorithm OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) korea(410)
       kisa(200004) algorithm(1) }

     id-seedCBC OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { algorithm seedCBC(4) }

     seedCBCParameter ::= OCTET STRING (SIZE(16))
     -- 128-bit Initialization Vector

   The id-seedCBC OID is used when the Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode
   of operation based on the SEED block cipher is provided.

     id-seedMAC OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { algorithm seedMAC(7) }

     seedMACParameter ::= INTEGER  -- MAC length, in bits

   The id-seedMAC OID is used when the message authentication code (MAC)
   algorithm based on the SEED block cipher is provided.

     pbeWithSHA1AndSEED-CBC OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=
       { algorithm seedCBCwithSHA1(15) }

     PBEParameters ::= SEQUENCE { salt          OCTET STRING, iteration
       INTEGER }  -- Total number of hash iterations

   This OID is used when a password-based encryption in CBC mode based
   on SHA-1 and the SEED block cipher is provided.  The details of the
   Password-Based Encryption (PBE) computation are well described in
   Section 6.1 of [RFC2898].

3.  Security Considerations

   No security problem has been found on SEED.  See [ISOSEED] and
   [CRYPTREC].
