This document describes a secret-key cryptosystem MISTY1, which is block cipher with a 128-bit key, a 64-bit block and a variable number of rounds. It documents the algorithm description including key scheduling part and data randomizing part.1. Introduction
This document describes a secret-key cryptosystem MISTY1, which is block cipher with a 128-bit key, a 64-bit block and a variable number of rounds. It is designed on the basis of the theory of provable security against differential and linear cryptanalysis, and moreover it realizes high-speed encryption on hardware platforms as well as on software environments. As the result of weighing strength and speed, 8-rounds of MISTY1 is recommended and used in most cases. Our implementation shows that MISTY1 with eight rounds can encrypt a data stream in CBC mode at a speed of 57Mbps and 40Mbps on Pentium II/266MHz and PA-7200/120MHz, respectively. For its hardware performance, we have produced a prototype LSI by a process of 0.8- micron CMOS gate-array and confirmed a speed of 512Mbps.2. Algorithm Description
Algorithm [1] could be divided into two parts, namely "key scheduling part" and "data randomizing part". Key scheduling part takes a 128- bit input key and produces a 128-bit expanded key. Data randomizing
part takes a 64-bit input data and mixes it, namely encryption. If data randomizing part is processed in reverse order, mixed data is transformed to input data, namely decryption.2.1 Terminology
Some operators are used in this document to describe the algorithm. The operator `+' indicates two's complement addition. The operator `*' indicates multiplication. The operator `/' yields the quotient, and the operator `%' yields the remainder from the division. The operator `&' indicates bitwise AND operation. The operator `|' indicates bitwise inclusive OR operation. The operator `^' indicates bitwise exclusive OR operation. The operator `<<' indicates bitwise left shift operation. The operator `>>' indicates bitwise right shift operation.2.2 Key Scheduling Part
Key scheduling part consists of the following operations. for i = 0, ..., 7 do EK[i] = K[i*2]*256 + K[i*2+1]; for i = 0, ..., 7 do begin EK[i+ 8] = FI(EK[i], EK[(i+1)%8]); EK[i+16] = EK[i+8] & 0x1ff; EK[i+24] = EK[i+8] >> 9; end K is an input key, and each element of K, namely K[i], holds an 8-bit of the key, respectively. EK denotes an expanded key, and each element of EK, namely EK[i], holds a 16-bit of the expanded key. Input data of K[0], ..., K[15] are copied to EK[0], ..., EK[7]. Expanded key is produced from EK[0], ..., EK[7] by using function FI, and stored in EK[8], ..., EK[15]. Function FI is described in the following section.2.3 Data Randomizing Part
Data randomizing part uses two kinds of function, which are called function FO and function FL. Function FO calls another function, namely FI. The key expansion part also uses function FI. Function FI uses two S-boxes, namely S7, S9. Each function is described as follows. Function FO takes two parameters. One is a 32-bit width input data, namely FO_IN. The other is an index of EK, namely k. And FO returns a 32-bit width data, namely FO_OUT.
FO(FO_IN, k)
begin
var t0, t1 as 16-bit integer;
t0 = FO_IN >> 16;
t1 = FO_IN & 0xffff;
t0 = t0 ^ EK[k];
t0 = FI(t0, EK[(k+5)%8+8]);
t0 = t0 ^ t1;
t1 = t1 ^ EK[(k+2)%8];
t1 = FI(t1, EK[(k+1)%8+8]);
t1 = t1 ^ t0;
t0 = t0 ^ EK[(k+7)%8];
t0 = FI(t0, EK[(k+3)%8+8]);
t0 = t0 ^ t1;
t1 = t1 ^ EK[(k+4)%8];
FO_OUT = (t1<<16) | t0;
return FO_OUT;
end.
Function FI takes two parameters. One is a 16-bit width input data,
namely FI_IN. The other is a part of EK, namely FI_KEY, which is
also 16-bit width. And FI returns a 16-bit width data, namely
FI_OUT.
FI(FI_IN, FI_KEY)
begin
var d9 as 9-bit integer;
var d7 as 7-bit integer;
d9 = FI_IN >> 7;
d7 = FI_IN & 0x7f;
d9 = S9TABLE[d9] ^ d7;
d7 = S7TABLE[d7] ^ d9;
( d7 = d7 & 0x7f; )
d7 = d7 ^ (FI_KEY >> 9);
d9 = d9 ^ (FI_KEY & 0x1ff);
d9 = S9TABLE[d9] ^ d7;
FI_OUT = (d7<<9) | d9;
return FI_OUT;
end.
S7TABLE and S9TABLE denote the S-boxes S7 and S9 respectively in
terms of look up table notation. Here are the description of S7TABLE
and S9TABLE in hexadecimal notation.

Function FL takes two parameters. One is a 32-bit data, namely
FL_IN. The other is an index of EK, namely k. And FL returns a 32-
bit width data, namely FL_OUT.
FL(FL_IN, k)
begin
var d0, d1 as 16-bit integer;
d0 = FL_IN >> 16;
d1 = FL_IN & 0xffff;
if (k is an even number) then
d1 = d1 ^ (d0 & EK[k/2]);
d0 = d0 ^ (d1 | EK[(k/2+6)%8+8]);
else
d1 = d1 ^ (d0 & EK[((k-1)/2+2)%8+8]);
d0 = d0 ^ (d1 | EK[((k-1)/2+4)%8]);
endif
FL_OUT = (d0<<16) | d1;
return FL_OUT;
end.
When the algorithm is used for decryption, function FLINV is used
instead of function FL.
FLINV(FL_IN, k)
begin
var d0, d1 as 16-bit integer;
d0 = FL_IN >> 16;
d1 = FL_IN & 0xffff;
if (k is an even number) then
d0 = d0 ^ (d1 | EK[(k/2+6)%8+8]);
d1 = d1 ^ (d0 & EK[k/2]);
else
d0 = d0 ^ (d1 | EK[((k-1)/2+4)%8]);
d1 = d1 ^ (d0 & EK[((k-1)/2+2)%8+8]);
endif
FL_OUT = (d0<<16) | d1;
return FL_OUT;
end.
In most cases, data randomizing part consists of 8 "rounds". Round
contains the call of function FO. Additionally, even-number round
includes the calls of function FL. After the final round, FLs are
called again. The detail description is as follows.
64-bit plaintext P is divided into the leftmost 32-bit D0 and the
rightmost 32-bit D1.
// 0 round D0 = FL(D0, 0); D1 = FL(D1, 1); D1 = D1 ^ FO(D0, 0); // 1 round D0 = D0 ^ FO(D1, 1); // 2 round D0 = FL(D0, 2); D1 = FL(D1, 3); D1 = D1 ^ FO(D0, 2); // 3 round D0 = D0 ^ FO(D1, 3); // 4 round D0 = FL(D0, 4); D1 = FL(D1, 5); D1 = D1 ^ FO(D0, 4); // 5 round D0 = D0 ^ FO(D1, 5); // 6 round D0 = FL(D0, 6); D1 = FL(D1, 7); D1 = D1 ^ FO(D0, 6); // 7 round D0 = D0 ^ FO(D1, 7); // final D0 = FL(D0, 8); D1 = FL(D1, 9); 64-bit ciphertext C is constructed from D0 and D1 as following operation. C = (D1<<32) | D0; When data randomizing part is used as decrypting operation, it should be executed in reverse order. The detail description is as follows. D0 = C & 0xffffffff; D1 = C >> 32; D0 = FLINV(D0, 8); D1 = FLINV(D1, 9); D0 = D0 ^ FO(D1, 7); D1 = D1 ^ FO(D0, 6); D0 = FLINV(D0, 6); D1 = FLINV(D1, 7); D0 = D0 ^ FO(D1, 5); D1 = D1 ^ FO(D0, 4); D0 = FLINV(D0, 4); D1 = FLINV(D1, 5);
D0 = D0 ^ FO(D1, 3); D1 = D1 ^ FO(D0, 2); D0 = FLINV(D0, 2); D1 = FLINV(D1, 3); D0 = D0 ^ FO(D1, 1); D1 = D1 ^ FO(D0, 0); D0 = FLINV(D0, 0); D1 = FLINV(D1, 1); P = (D0<<32) | D1;3. Object Identifier
The Object Identifier for MISTY1 in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode is as follows: MISTY1-CBC OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {iso(1) member-body(2) jisc(392) mitsubishi-electric-corporation(200011) isl(61) security(1) algorithm(1) symmetric-encryption-algorithm(1) misty1-cbc(1)} MISTY1-CBC needs Initialization Vector (IV) as like as other algorithms, such as DES-CBC, DES-EDE3-CBC and so on. To determine the value of IV, MISTY1-CBC takes parameter as: MISTY1-CBC Parameter ::= IV where IV ::= OCTET STRING -- 8 octets. When this Object Identifier is used, plaintext is padded before encrypt it. At least 1 padding octet is appended at the end of the plaintext to make the length of the plaintext to the multiple of 8 octets. The value of these octets is as same as the number of appended octets. (e.g., If 5 octets are needed to pad, the value is 0x05.)4. Security Considerations
The algorithm, which is described in this document, is designed in consideration of the theory of provable security against differential cryptanalysis and linear cryptanalysis [2][3][4]. According to the recent result, when the algorithm consists of 8 rounds, both differential characteristic probability and liner characteristic probability are 2^-140. For reference, probabilities of DES are 2^- 62 and 2^-46, respectively.
5. Legal Issues
The algorithm description is applied for a patent in several countries as PCT/JP96/02154. However, the algorithm is freely available for academic (non-profit) use. Additionally, the algorithm can be used for commercial use without paying the patent fee if you contract with Mitsubishi Electric Corporation.
