RC4 The algorithm is a stream cipher ( Byte oriented operations ), Key length is variable ( Generate the key stream according to the plaintext length )
RC4 Encryption process :
1, Initialize the status array S: length 256 byte , Every S[i] by 1 Bytes ,S[i] The value of is 0-255
2, Initialize temporary array T:T The length of is 256 byte , Every T[i] by 1 Bytes ,
First, generate a key array Key, Key The length of is 1~256 byte ( Random ), Every Key[i] by 1 Bytes , And each Key[i] The value of is randomly generated ;
And then the array Key Each of the Key[i] Take turns and loop into the array T, such as Key[]=1,2,3,4,5 , Then put it into the array T:T[] =1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5…1,2,3,4,5,1,2 Will array T fill , This array T Finished initializing , And random ;
3, Initial permutation array S : After initialization T, And a variable j=0, Scramble the array S, send S It's random :
Through for each S[i], adopt j = (j + S[i] + T[I]) mod 256 , In exchange for S[i] and S[j] Value ;
My understanding of this step : Because the initialized array T It's random , So it will T Element is added to get S[j] And replace S[i] and S[j] , Make the array S Pseudorandom ;
4, Generate key stream KeyStream: First, get the plaintext length , Decide to generate a key stream of the same length as plaintext ,
Through to each S[i],j=0,j=(j+S[i]) mod 256 take S[i] And S[j] substitution , When i>255, go back to S[0], Repeat the replacement operation again :
j,t = 0,0
for i in range(txtlen): // txtlen Is the length of the plaintext , Through the loop , Generate equal length key stream
i = i mod 256 // adopt mod 256 , Ensure that subsequent pairs of arrays S Repetitive operation
j = (j+S[i]) mod 256
tmp = S[i]
S[i] = S[j] // substitution S[i] And S[j]
S[j] = tmp
t = (S[i] + S[j]) mod 256
KeyStream.append(S[t]) //S[t] by A bit in the key stream
My understanding of this step : Suppose a box is called S, There is a row of 256 One says from 0-255 A number ball , And this 256 The ball was disrupted earlier , Now you need to start from S The first one in the box (i), And through the formula j = (j+S[i]) mod 256 What you get is j individual , Write down the number on the ball and pass the formula t = (S[i] + S[j]) mod 256 Get number t, Then you go and find out the second t A little ball , The number on it S[t] Is a bit in the key stream , And you put the first (i) The ball and the second j Exchange a small ball and put it back S box , Then repeat the steps just now to touch the second (i) And the j And so on , Until you repeat this step txtlen Time ; notes : When you touch the first 256 individual ( The last one ), But you haven't finished yet txtlen Time , So the next time you touch the ball is to go back to the first start , This is the corresponding pair array S Repetitive operation ;
