Encryption Methods and Algorithms Based on Domestic Standards in Open-Source Operating Systems
Authors: , ,
Abstract: The paper describes the principles and methods underlying the creation of an application in secure operating systems, which provides reliable data encryption. The research aims to analyze and indicate the specifics of encryption methods and algorithms based on domestic standards in open-source operating systems. Cryptanalysis was used in the article, as this avoids vulnerabilities identified in previously created implementations. In the article, the authors draw attention to the fact that 7-Zip uses CBC encryption (concatenation of encrypted text blocks), but the Counter Mode is supported. The same support was provided in the encrypt implementation. Since the key expansion function initially fills the special array created by p7zip with round keys using a unique property of the domestic standard, only one round encryption function was created (performed both during encryption and decryption). This method is also used in various modes. In many cases, initialization time deviations depending on the selected mode are insignificant. The created cryptographic module was tested to meet the domestic standard, which contains several test cases. It was confirmed during the tests that the created module implements the algorithm of the domestic standard. The article shows a way to implement a fairly convenient graphical interface for accessing the cryptographic module, which enables the user not to call the command line and remember the sequence and types of parameters passed to p7zip. This implementation also takes into account the verification of the correctness of decryption and the reading of other error codes.
