- MULTI-S01
In
cryptography , MULTI-S01 (pronounced "multi-ess-zero-one"), is anencryption algorithm based on apseudorandom number generator (PRNG). MULTI-S01 is an encryption scheme preserving bothconfidentiality anddata integrity . The scheme defines a pair of algorithms; the encryption, the corresponding decryption withverification . Coupling with an efficientkeystream generator, such asPanama ,MUGI , andRC4 , the algorithm efficiently encrypts a message in the manner of a single path process, i.e.online algorithm . The decryption function cannot be used in such manner for keeping whole resultant data until successful verification.The keysize of MULTI-S01 is determined by which keystream generator to use. MULTI-S01 takes a security parameter which determines the upperbound probability of successful forgery.
Since the calculation consists of addition and multiplication over the
finite field , the algorithm is more suited to hardware implementation, although software implementation is still feasible.MULTI-S01 with the PRNG Panama has been selected as one of
CRYPTREC algorithms. It has also been submitted toISO /IEC 18033 Part 4 which defines stream-cipher standards.The security of MULTI-S01 is based on that of underlying PRNG. If a secure PRNG is used, then the security of MULTI-S01 with respect to confidentiality and data integrity has been proven. As for the data integrity, the security proof is basically the same as one for
Carter-Wegman MAC scheme , which is proven to be information-theoretically secure.References
