Abstract

One feature pertains to encrypting data to improve data confidentiality. In one aspect, a modified form of XTS encryption is provided for use with reduced-round block ciphers. A data unit index of data to be applied to the reduced-round cipher is encrypted under a secret key to generate or otherwise obtain a modified secret key for applying to the reduced-round cipher. That is, data to be encrypted by the reduced-round cipher is not encrypted under a static key but is instead encrypted under a dynamic key that varies according to the index of the data. If an attacker were to derive the value of the key applied to the reduced-round cipher by analyzing data encrypted by the cipher, the attacker would only obtain the dynamic key corresponding to one particular data unit index, rather than a global static key applied to an entire address space. Decryption procedures are also described.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority and benefit to US Nonprovisional Patent Application Serial No. 14 / 205,230, filed March 11, 2014, in the US Patent and Trademark Office, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] Various features relate to encryption and, in particular, to encryption utilizing XTS block cipher mode for use with mobile computing devices. Background technique [0004] Block encryption is used in cryptography to improve the confidentiality of data stored within a memory system or other storage system, in particular, a memory system that can be accessed by an attacker or other malicious entity. In general, block encryption uses a deterministic procedure or algorithm that operates on fixed-length groups of bits (ie, blocks). Block encryption may be used to implement encryption of large amounts of data, such as data stored on an off-chip memory device used with a sys...
