1. What is the DES algorithm
The DES algorithm is a symmetric encryption algorithm that uses the same key for encryption and decryption. The DES algorithm is a block cipher that divides plaintext into fixed-length blocks and encrypts each block. The DES algorithm divides each 64-bit plaintext block into two 32-bit half blocks, and then performs a series of encryption and decryption operations to finally obtain a 64-bit ciphertext block.
2. Realization of CBC mode
CBC (Cipher Block Chaining) mode is a common block cipher working mode, which uses the ciphertext of the previous encrypted block as the input of the next encrypted block. The main advantage of this mode is that it can provide better security when transferring data.
To implement the CBC mode of the DES algorithm in Java, you can use the Cipher class in the javax.crypto package. The following is a simple Java code example that demonstrates how to encrypt and decrypt using the CBC mode of the DES algorithm:
import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import javax.crypto.spec.IvParameterSpec;
import javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec;
public class CBCEncryptDecryptExample {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String plainText = "Hello, world!";
String key = "MySecretKey12345";
String iv = "RandomIV98765";
// Convert the key and IV into bytes
byte[] keyBytes = key.getBytes("UTF-8");
byte[] ivBytes = iv.getBytes("UTF-8");
// Create the key and IV specifications
SecretKeySpec keySpec = new SecretKeySpec(keyBytes, "DES");
IvParameterSpec ivSpec = new IvParameterSpec(ivBytes);
// Create the cipher and initialize it for encryption
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, keySpec, ivSpec);
// Encrypt the plaintext
byte[] cipherText = cipher.doFinal(plainText.getBytes("UTF-8"));
// Print the ciphertext
System.out.println("Ciphertext: " + new String(cipherText, "UTF-8"));
// Initialize the cipher for decryption
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, keySpec, ivSpec);
// Decrypt the ciphertext
byte[] decryptedText = cipher.doFinal(cipherText);
// Print the decrypted text
System.out.println("Decrypted text: " + new String(decryptedText, "UTF-8"));
}
}
In the code above, we first define a plaintext string, a key, and a random initialization vector. We then convert the key and initialization vector to byte arrays and use them to create a SecretKeySpec and IvParameterSpec object. Next, we create a DES/CBC/PKCS5Padding cipher object and use it for encryption and decryption operations.
3. Realization of ECB mode
ECB (Electronic Codebook) mode is another common block cipher working mode. In ECB mode, each block of plaintext is encrypted independently, which means that identical blocks of plaintext will produce identical blocks of ciphertext. The main disadvantage of this mode is that it is vulnerable to attack methods such as dictionary attacks, so it is not very secure when transferring data.
To implement the ECB mode of the DES algorithm in Java, you can also use the Cipher class in the javax.crypto package. The following is a simple Java code example that demonstrates how to encrypt and decrypt using the ECB mode of the DES algorithm:
import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec;
public class ECBEncryptDecryptExample {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String plainText = "Hello, world!";
String key = "MySecretKey12345";
// Convert the key into bytes
byte[] keyBytes = key.getBytes("UTF-8");
// Create the key specification
SecretKeySpec keySpec = new SecretKeySpec(keyBytes, "DES");
// Create the cipher and initialize it for encryption
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DES/ECB/PKCS5Padding");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, keySpec);
// Encrypt the plaintext
byte[] cipherText = cipher.doFinal(plainText.getBytes("UTF-8"));
// Print the ciphertext
System.out.println("Ciphertext: " + new String(cipherText, "UTF-8"));
// Initialize the cipher for decryption
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, keySpec);
// Decrypt the ciphertext
byte[] decryptedText = cipher.doFinal(cipherText);
// Print the decrypted text
System.out.println("Decrypted text: " + new String(decryptedText, "UTF-8"));
}
}
In the code above, we first define a plaintext string and a key. We then convert the key to a byte array and use it to create a SecretKeySpec object. Next, we create a DES/ECB/PKCS5Padding cipher object and use it for encryption and decryption operations.
4. Comparison of CBC and ECB modes
Both CBC and ECB modes are common block cipher modes of operation, and they each have some advantages and disadvantages. In CBC mode, each encrypted block depends on the ciphertext of the previous encrypted block, which improves the security of data. In ECB mode, each encrypted block is encrypted independently, which means that the same plaintext block will generate the same ciphertext block, which is vulnerable to attack methods such as dictionary attacks.
In addition, since each encrypted block in CBC mode depends on the ciphertext of the previous encrypted block, additional processing is required when encrypting and decrypting. This makes the implementation of CBC mode more complicated than ECB mode. The ECB mode is simpler and easier to implement.
Overall, both CBC and ECB modes have their own pros and cons. In practical applications, we need to choose a suitable encryption mode according to the characteristics of the data and security requirements. If we need higher security and data correlation, we can choose CBC mode; if we need simpler implementation and processing of independent data blocks, we can choose ECB mode.
