Symmetric Key Block Cipher "Magma" in Rust

The brief description: https://sheroz.com/pages/blog/rust-cipher-magma-28147-89.html

Supported Cipher Modes

• ECB - Electronic Codebook Mode
• CTR - Counter Encryption Mode
• CTR-ACPKM - Counter Encryption Mode as per RFC8645
• OFB - Output Feedback Mode
• CBC - Cipher Block Chaining Mode
• CFB - Cipher Feedback Mode
• MAC - Message Authentication Code Generation Mode

Implemented and tested according to specifications

• RFC 8891 a.k.a GOST R 34.12-2015: Block Cipher "Magma"
• RFC 5830 a.k.a GOST 28147-89
• Block Cipher Modes:
  • GOST R 34.13-2015
  • CTR-ACPKM, Р 1323565.1.017—2018

Tests are implemented using: crypto_vectors

Tested on platforms

1. Linux Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / Intel® Core™ i7
2. MacOS Ventura 13.4 / Apple Macbook Pro M1

Usage

Please look at magma_samples

Samples

• Block encryption encrypt_block.rs
• Text encryption encrypt_text.rs
• Message Authentication Code (MAC) calculate_mac.rs
• Buffer encryption encrypt_buffer.rs
• Buffer encryption by parallel processing encrypt_buffer_parallel.rs
  • On a MacBook M1 Pro with 8+2 cores, the encryption speed increased ~ 8.3 times
  • On an i7-3770 with 4 cores, running Linux, the encryption speed increased ~ 4.5 times
• File encryption encrypt_file.rs
• Bitmap file encryption encrypt_bmp.rs

Encrypted bitmap in Electronic Codebook (ECB) Mode

Please note that the ECB mode has weaknesses. It does not hide data patterns well and leaks information about the plaintext. ECB mode is not recommended for use in cryptographic protocols.
