Rijndael

Pure-PHP implementation of Rijndael.

Properties

cipher_name_mcrypt

The mcrypt specific name of the cipher

public string $cipher_name_mcrypt

Mcrypt is useable for 128/192/256-bit $block_size/$key_length. For 160/224 not. \phpseclib\Crypt\Rijndael determines automatically whether mcrypt is useable or not for the current $block_size/$key_length. In case of, $cipher_name_mcrypt will be set dynamically at run time accordingly.

Methods

setKeyLength

Sets the key length.

public setKeyLength(int $length): mixed

Valid key lengths are 128, 160, 192, 224, and 256. If the length is less than 128, it will be rounded up to 128. If the length is greater than 128 and invalid, it will be rounded down to the closest valid amount.

Note: phpseclib extends Rijndael (and AES) for using 160- and 224-bit keys but they are officially not defined and the most (if not all) implementations are not able using 160/224-bit keys but round/pad them up to 192/256 bits as, for example, mcrypt will do.

  That said, if you want be compatible with other Rijndael and AES implementations,
  you should not setKeyLength(160) or setKeyLength(224).

Additional: In case of 160- and 224-bit keys, phpseclib will/can, for that reason, not use the mcrypt php extension, even if available. This results then in slower encryption.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$length int

setBlockLength

Sets the block length

public setBlockLength(int $length): mixed

Valid block lengths are 128, 160, 192, 224, and 256. If the length is less than 128, it will be rounded up to 128. If the length is greater than 128 and invalid, it will be rounded down to the closest valid amount.

Parameters:

Inherited methods

__construct

Default Constructor.

public __construct(int $mode = self::MODE_CBC): mixed

Determines whether or not the mcrypt extension should be used.

$mode could be:

  • self::MODE_ECB

  • self::MODE_CBC

  • self::MODE_CTR

  • self::MODE_CFB

  • self::MODE_OFB

If not explicitly set, self::MODE_CBC will be used.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$mode int

setKeyLength

Sets the key length.

public setKeyLength(int $length): mixed

Keys with explicitly set lengths need to be treated accordingly

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$length int

getKeyLength

Returns the current key length in bits

public getKeyLength(): int

getBlockLength

Returns the current block length in bits

public getBlockLength(): int

_openssl_ctr_process

OpenSSL CTR Processor

public _openssl_ctr_process(string $plaintext, string& $encryptIV, array& $buffer): string

PHP's OpenSSL bindings do not operate in continuous mode so we'll wrap around it. Since the keystream for CTR is the same for both encrypting and decrypting this function is re-used by both Base::encrypt() and Base::decrypt(). Also, OpenSSL doesn't implement CTR for all of it's symmetric ciphers so this function will emulate CTR with ECB when necessary.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$plaintext string
$encryptIV string
$buffer array

See Also:

  • \phpseclib\Crypt\self::encrypt() - * \phpseclib\Crypt\self::decrypt() -

_openssl_ofb_process

OpenSSL OFB Processor

public _openssl_ofb_process(string $plaintext, string& $encryptIV, array& $buffer): string

PHP's OpenSSL bindings do not operate in continuous mode so we'll wrap around it. Since the keystream for OFB is the same for both encrypting and decrypting this function is re-used by both Base::encrypt() and Base::decrypt().

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$plaintext string
$encryptIV string
$buffer array

See Also:

  • \phpseclib\Crypt\self::encrypt() - * \phpseclib\Crypt\self::decrypt() -

_openssl_translate_mode

phpseclib <-> OpenSSL Mode Mapper

public _openssl_translate_mode(): int

May need to be overwritten by classes extending this one in some cases


enablePadding

Pad "packets".

public enablePadding(): mixed

Block ciphers working by encrypting between their specified [$this->]block_size at a time If you ever need to encrypt or decrypt something that isn't of the proper length, it becomes necessary to pad the input so that it is of the proper length.

Padding is enabled by default. Sometimes, however, it is undesirable to pad strings. Such is the case in SSH, where "packets" are padded with random bytes before being encrypted. Unpad these packets and you risk stripping away characters that shouldn't be stripped away. (SSH knows how many bytes are added because the length is transmitted separately)

See Also:

  • \phpseclib\Crypt\self::disablePadding() -

disablePadding

Do not pad packets.

public disablePadding(): mixed

See Also:

  • \phpseclib\Crypt\self::enablePadding() -

_pad

Pads a string

public _pad(string $text): string

Pads a string using the RSA PKCS padding standards so that its length is a multiple of the blocksize. $this->block_size - (strlen($text) % $this->block_size) bytes are added, each of which is equal to chr($this->block_size - (strlen($text) % $this->block_size)

If padding is disabled and $text is not a multiple of the blocksize, the string will be padded regardless and padding will, hence forth, be enabled.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$text string

See Also:

  • \phpseclib\Crypt\self::_unpad() -

_unpad

Unpads a string.

public _unpad(string $text): string

_createInlineCryptFunction

Creates the performance-optimized function for en/decrypt()

public _createInlineCryptFunction(array $cipher_code): string

Internally for phpseclib developers:

_createInlineCryptFunction():

  • merge the $cipher_code [setup'ed by _setupInlineCrypt()] with the current [$this->]mode of operation code

  • create the $inline function, which called by encrypt() / decrypt() as its replacement to speed up the en/decryption operations.

  • return the name of the created $inline callback function

  • used to speed up en/decryption

The main reason why can speed up things [up to 50%] this way are:

  • using variables more effective then regular. (ie no use of expensive arrays but integers $k_0, $k_1 ... or even, for example, the pure $key[] values hardcoded)

  • avoiding 1000's of function calls of ie _encryptBlock() but inlining the crypt operations. in the mode of operation for() loop.

  • full loop unroll the (sometimes key-dependent) rounds avoiding this way ++$i counters and runtime-if's etc...

The basic code architectur of the generated $inline en/decrypt() lambda function, in pseudo php, is:

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | callback $inline = create_function: | | lambda_function_0001_crypt_ECB($action, $text) | | { | | INSERT PHP CODE OF: | | $cipher_code['init_crypt']; // general init code. | | // ie: $sbox'es declarations used for | | // encrypt and decrypt'ing. | | | | switch ($action) { | | case 'encrypt': | | INSERT PHP CODE OF: | | $cipher_code['init_encrypt']; // encrypt sepcific init code. | | ie: specified $key or $box | | declarations for encrypt'ing. | | | | foreach ($ciphertext) { | | $in = $block_size of $ciphertext; | | | | INSERT PHP CODE OF: | | $cipher_code['encrypt_block']; // encrypt's (string) $in, which is always: | | // strlen($in) == $this->block_size | | // here comes the cipher algorithm in action | | // for encryption. | | // $cipher_code['encrypt_block'] has to | | // encrypt the content of the $in variable | | | | $plaintext .= $in; | | } | | return $plaintext; | | | | case 'decrypt': | | INSERT PHP CODE OF: | | $cipher_code['init_decrypt']; // decrypt sepcific init code | | ie: specified $key or $box | | declarations for decrypt'ing. | | foreach ($plaintext) { | | $in = $block_size of $plaintext; | | | | INSERT PHP CODE OF: | | $cipher_code['decrypt_block']; // decrypt's (string) $in, which is always | | // strlen($in) == $this->block_size | | // here comes the cipher algorithm in action | | // for decryption. | | // $cipher_code['decrypt_block'] has to | | // decrypt the content of the $in variable | | $ciphertext .= $in; | | } | | return $ciphertext; | | } | | } | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

See also the \phpseclib\Crypt*::_setupInlineCrypt()'s for productive inline $cipher_code's how they works.

Structure of: $cipher_code = array( 'init_crypt' => (string) '', // optional 'init_encrypt' => (string) '', // optional 'init_decrypt' => (string) '', // optional 'encrypt_block' => (string) '', // required 'decrypt_block' => (string) '' // required );

_getLambdaFunctions

Holds the lambda_functions table (classwide)

public _getLambdaFunctions(): array

Each name of the lambda function, created from _setupInlineCrypt() && _createInlineCryptFunction() is stored, classwide (!), here for reusing.

The string-based index of $function is a classwide unique value representing, at least, the $mode of operation (or more... depends of the optimizing level) for which $mode the lambda function was created.

Return Value:
