TL;DR: In this article, a device for ciphering a block of data bits under control of a cipher key is described. But the cipher device performs a ciphering process by carrying out an operation in which the block of bits is first expanded by duplicating predetermined ones of the data bits, and then the substitution set of bits are then subjected to a linear transformation in accordance with an arbitrary but fixed permutation.
Abstract: A device for ciphering a block of data bits under control of a cipher key. The cipher device performs a ciphering process for the block of data by carrying out an operation in which the block of data bits is first expanded by duplicating predetermined ones of the data bits. The data bits of the expanded block are combined by modulo-2 addition with an equal number of cipher key bits, selected in accordance with an arbitrary but fixed permutation, to produce a plurality of multi-bit segments forming the arguments for a plurality of different nonlinear substitution function boxes. The substitution boxes perform a plurality of nonlinear transformation functions to produce a substitution set of bits which are equal in number to the number of data bits in the first half of the message block. The substitution set of bits is then subjected to a linear transformation in accordance with an arbitrary but fixed permutation. The combined nonlinear transformation and linear transformation results in a product block cipher of the block of data.
