Abstract: An authentication method and schemes using a block cipher to protect data integrity (authenticity) during communication over insecure channels and during data storage on insecure media. The authentication method and schemes of this invention allow, in a further aspect, message and data signing and verification in parallel or pipelined manners, in addition to sequential operation, without requiring twice as many block enciphering operations as the number of input plaintext blocks. The present invention allows, in a yet further aspect, software and hardware implementations used in high-performance systems and networks where multiple processing units are available for block enciphering operations. In a yet further aspect, the authentication method and schemes of this invention allow incremental updates and out-of-order processing of authentication tags.

Abstract: A block encryption method and schemes (modes of operation) that provide both data confidentiality and integrity with a single cryptographic primitive and a single processing pass over the input plaintext string by using a non-cryptographic Manipulation Detection Code function for secure data communication over insecure channels and for secure data storage on insecure media. The present invention allows, in a further aspect, software and hardware implementations, and use in high-performance and low-power applications, and low-power, low-cost hardware devices. The block encryption method and schemes of this invention allow, in yet a further aspect, encryption and decryption in parallel or pipelined manners in addition to sequential operation. In a yet further aspect, the block encryption method and schemes of this invention are suitable for real-time applications.
