Wrong result from decryption using AES New Instruction Set

I try to make encryption / descryption in C language using Intel's AES New Instruction Set, to be more specific I try to do 256 bit AES with CBC mode.

I found C code at Intel's white paper here: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/doc/white-paper/advanced-encryption-standard-new-instructions-set-paper.pdf

This is code from Intel's white paper pdf (aes.h):

Encryption works right, I checked result with some online AES tools, but decrypted text is wrong, decrypted text should be content from variable ot, but I get something like AE516492B1B62F2C7D1FCB906B11AE25. Variable computed_plain should be ot plain text (original). Where can be problem?

Solution

  • You’ve used the same key expansion for encryption and decryption, but they’re not the same. See AES_set_decrypt_key on page 48.

    A shorter demonstration:

    unsigned char key_schedule_decrypt[15 * 16];

((__m128i*)key_schedule_decrypt)[0] = ((__m128i const*)key_schedule)[14];

for (int j = 1; j < 14; j++) {
    ((__m128i*)key_schedule_decrypt)[j] = _mm_aesimc_si128(((__m128i const*)key_schedule)[14 - j]);
}

((__m128i*)key_schedule_decrypt)[14] = ((__m128i const*)key_schedule)[0];

AES_CBC_decrypt(computed_cipher, computed_plain, iv, 16, key_schedule_decrypt, 14);
