Format Preserving Encryption
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
Format preserving encryption (FPE) refers to a set of techniques for
|
|
encrypting data such that the ciphertext has the same format as the
|
|
plaintext. For instance, you can use FPE to encrypt credit card
|
|
numbers with valid checksums such that the ciphertext is also an
|
|
credit card number with a valid checksum, or similarly for bank
|
|
account numbers, US Social Security numbers, or even more general
|
|
mappings like English words onto other English words.
|
|
|
|
The scheme currently implemented in botan is called FE1, and described
|
|
in the paper `Format Preserving Encryption
|
|
<https://eprint.iacr.org/2009/251>`_ by Mihir Bellare, Thomas
|
|
Ristenpart, Phillip Rogaway, and Till Stegers. FPE is an area of
|
|
ongoing standardization and it is likely that other schemes will be
|
|
included in the future.
|
|
|
|
To encrypt an arbitrary value using FE1, you need to use a ranking
|
|
method. Basically, the idea is to assign an integer to every value you
|
|
might encrypt. For instance, a 16 digit credit card number consists of
|
|
a 15 digit code plus a 1 digit checksum. So to encrypt a credit card
|
|
number, you first remove the checksum, encrypt the 15 digit value
|
|
modulo 10\ :sup:`15`, and then calculate what the checksum is for the
|
|
new (ciphertext) number. Or, if you were encrypting words in a
|
|
dictionary, you could rank the words by their lexicographical order,
|
|
and choose the modulus to be the number of words in the dictionary.
|
|
|
|
The interfaces for FE1 are defined in the header ``fpe_fe1.h``:
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 2.5.0
|
|
|
|
.. cpp:class:: FPE_FE1
|
|
|
|
.. cpp:function:: FPE_FE1(const BigInt& n, size_t rounds = 5, \
|
|
bool compat_mode = false, \
|
|
std::string mac_algo = "HMAC(SHA-256)")
|
|
|
|
Initialize an FPE operation to encrypt/decrypt integers less
|
|
than *n*. It is expected that *n* is trivially factorable into
|
|
small integers. Common usage would be n to be a power of 10.
|
|
|
|
Note that the default parameters to this constructor are
|
|
**incompatible** with the ``fe1_encrypt`` and ``fe1_decrypt``
|
|
function originally added in 1.9.17. For compatibility, use
|
|
3 rounds and set ``compat_mode`` to true.
|
|
|
|
.. cpp:function:: BigInt encrypt(const BigInt& x, const uint8_t tweak[], size_t tweak_len) const
|
|
|
|
Encrypts the value *x* modulo the value *n* using the *key* and *tweak*
|
|
specified. Returns an integer less than *n*. The *tweak* is a value that
|
|
does not need to be secret that parameterizes the encryption function. For
|
|
instance, if you were encrypting a database column with a single key, you
|
|
could use a per-row-unique integer index value as the tweak. The same
|
|
tweak value must be used during decryption.
|
|
|
|
.. cpp:function:: BigInt decrypt(const BigInt& x, const uint8_t tweak[], size_t tweak_len) const
|
|
|
|
Decrypts an FE1 ciphertext. The *tweak* must be the same as that provided
|
|
to the encryption function. Returns the plaintext integer.
|
|
|
|
Note that there is not any implicit authentication or checking of data in
|
|
FE1, so if you provide an incorrect key or tweak the result is simply a
|
|
random integer.
|
|
|
|
.. cpp:function:: BigInt encrypt(const BigInt& x, uint64_t tweak)
|
|
|
|
Convenience version of encrypt taking an integer tweak.
|
|
|
|
.. cpp:function:: BigInt decrypt(const BigInt& x, uint64_t tweak)
|
|
|
|
Convenience version of decrypt taking an integer tweak.
|
|
|
|
There are two functions that handle the entire FE1 encrypt/decrypt operation.
|
|
These are the original interface to FE1, first added in 1.9.17. However because
|
|
they do the entire setup cost for each operation, they are significantly slower
|
|
than the class-based API presented above.
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: These functions are hardcoded to use 3 rounds, which may be
|
|
insufficient depending on the chosen modulus.
|
|
|
|
.. cpp:function:: BigInt FPE::fe1_encrypt(const BigInt& n, const BigInt& X, \
|
|
const SymmetricKey& key, const std::vector<uint8_t>& tweak)
|
|
|
|
This creates an FPE_FE1 object, sets the key, and encrypts *X* using
|
|
the provided tweak.
|
|
|
|
.. cpp:function:: BigInt FPE::fe1_decrypt(const BigInt& n, const BigInt& X, \
|
|
const SymmetricKey& key, const std::vector<uint8_t>& tweak)
|
|
|
|
This creates an FPE_FE1 object, sets the key, and decrypts *X* using
|
|
the provided tweak.
|
|
|
|
This example encrypts a credit card number with a valid `Luhn checksum
|
|
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm>`_ to another number with the same
|
|
format, including a correct checksum.
