On Rijndael ByteSub Transformation
Show more
Abstract: The first step in converting a plaintext to ciphertext by the famous Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is called Rijndael ByteSub Transformation, involves some operations: computing a multiplicative inverse, multiplying this multiplicative inverse by a specific matrix, and adding the result to a specific vector. The purpose of this research is to simplify these operations. This paper gives elegant techniques and presents the matrices multiplication as simple XOR operations, and the result is a simple, straightforward way finding the transformation.
