Abstract
There is always a desire in the Internet community for unencumbered
encryption algorithms with a range of key sizes that can provide
security for a variety of cryptographic applications and protocols.
This document describes an existing algorithm that can be used to
satisfy this requirement. Included are a description of the cipher
and the key scheduling algorithm, the s-boxes, and a set of test
vectors (Appendix A).

RFC 2612 The CAST-256 Encryption Algorithm June 1999
1. Introduction
This document describes the CAST-256 encryption algorithm, a DES-like
Substitution-Permutation Network (SPN) cryptosystem built upon the
CAST-128 encryption algorithm [1] which appears to have good
resistance to differential cryptanalysis, linear cryptanalysis, and
related-key cryptanalysis. This cipher also possesses a number of
other desirable cryptographic properties, including avalanche, Strict
Avalanche Criterion (SAC), Bit Independence Criterion (BIC), no
complementation property, and an absence of weak and semi-weak keys.
It thus appears to be a good candidate for general-purpose use
throughout the Internet community wherever a cryptographically-
strong, freely-available encryption algorithm is required.
CAST-256 has a block size of 128 bits and a variable key size (128,
160, 192, 224, or 256 bits).
2. CAST-256 Algorithm Specification
2.1 CAST-128 Notation
The following notation from CAST-128 [1] is relevant to CAST-256.
CAST-128 uses a pair of subkeys per round: a 5-bit quantity Kri
is used as a "rotation" key for round i and a 32-bit quantity Kmi
is used as a "masking" key for round i.
Three different round functions are used in CAST-128. The rounds
are as follows (where D is the data input to the operation, Ia -
Id are the most significant byte through least significant byte of
I, respectively, Si is the ith s-box (see Section 2.1.1 for s-box
contents), and O is the output of the operation). Note that "+"
and "-" are addition and subtraction modulo 2**32, "^" is bitwise
eXclusive-OR, and "<<<" is the circular left-shift operation.
Type 1: I = ((Kmi + D) <<< Kri)
O = ((S1[Ia] ^ S2[Ib]) - S3[Ic]) + S4[Id]
Type 2: I = ((Kmi ^ D) <<< Kri)
O = ((S1[Ia] - S2[Ib]) + S3[Ic]) ^ S4[Id]
Type 3: I = ((Kmi - D) <<< Kri)
O = ((S1[Ia] + S2[Ib]) ^ S3[Ic]) - S4[Id]
Let f1, f2, f3 be keyed round function operations of Types 1, 2,
and 3 (respectively) above.

CAST-128 uses four round function substitution boxes (s-boxes),
S1 - S4. These are defined as follows (entries -- written in
hexadecimal notation -- are to be read left-to-right, top-to-
bottom).

RFC 2612 The CAST-256 Encryption Algorithm June 1999
2.2 CAST-256 Notation
The following notation is employed in the specification of CAST-256.
Let f1, f2, f3 be as defined for CAST-128.
Let BETA = (ABCD) be a 128-bit block where A, B, C and D are each
32 bits in length.
Let "BETA <- Qi(BETA)" be short-hand notation for the following:
C = C ^ f1(D, Kr0_(i), Km0_(i))
B = B ^ f2(C, Kr1_(i), Km1_(i))
A = A ^ f3(B, Kr2_(i), Km2_(i))
D = D ^ f1(A, Kr3_(i), Km3_(i))
Let "BETA <- QBARi(BETA)" be short-hand notation for the
following:
D = D ^ f1(A, Kr3_(i), Km3_(i))
A = A ^ f3(B, Kr2_(i), Km2_(i))
B = B ^ f2(C, Kr1_(i), Km1_(i))
C = C ^ f1(D, Kr0_(i), Km0_(i))
(Q(*) is called a "forward quad-round" and QBAR(*) is called a
"reverse quad-round".)
Let Kr_(i) = {Kr0_(i), Kr1_(i), Kr2_(i), Kr3_(i)} be the set of
rotation keys for the ith quad-round, where Krj_(i) is a 5-bit
rotation key for f1, f2, or f3 (as specified above).
Let Km_(i) = {Km0_(i), Km1_(i), Km2_(i), Km3_(i)} be the set of
masking keys for the ith quad-round, where Kmj_(i) is a 32-bit
masking key for f1, f2, or f3 (as specified above).
Let KAPPA = (ABCDEFGH) be a 256-bit block where A, B, ..., H are
each 32 bits in length.
Let "KAPPA <- Wi(KAPPA)" be short-hand notation for the
following:
G = G ^ f1(H, Tr0_(i), Tm0_(i))
F = F ^ f2(G, Tr1_(i), Tm1_(i))
E = E ^ f3(F, Tr2_(i), Tm2_(i))
D = D ^ f1(E, Tr3_(i), Tm3_(i))
C = C ^ f2(D, Tr4_(i), Tm4_(i))
B = B ^ f3(C, Tr5_(i), Tm5_(i))
A = A ^ f1(B, Tr6_(i), Tm6_(i))
H = H ^ f2(A, Tr7_(i), Tm7_(i))
(W(*) is called a "forward octave".)
Adams & Gilchrist Informational [Page 6]
RFC 2612 The CAST-256 Encryption Algorithm June 1999
Let "Kr_(i) <- KAPPA" be short-hand notation for the
following: Kr0_(i) = 5LSB(A), Kr1_(i) = 5LSB(C), Kr2_(i) =
5LSB(E), Kr3_(i) = 5LSB(G)
where 5LSB(x) denotes "the five least significant bits of x".
Let "Km_(i) <- KAPPA" be short-hand notation for the following:
Km0_(i) = H, Km1_(i) = F, Km2_(i) = D, Km3_(i) = B
2.3 The CAST-256 Cipher
BETA = 128bits of plaintext.
for (i=0; i<6; i++)
BETA <- Qi(BETA)
for (i=6; i<12; i++)
BETA <- QBARi(BETA)
128bits of ciphertext = BETA
Round Key Re-Ordering for Decryption
The cipher employs a 256-bit primary key K. Decryption is
identical to encryption except that the sets of quad-round keys
Kr_(i), Km_(i) derived from K are used in reverse order as
follows.
for (i=0; i<12; i++)
{
KrNEW_(i) = Kr_(11-i)
KmNEW_(i) = Km_(11-i)
}
2.4 The CAST-256 Key Schedule
Initialization:
Cm = 2**30 * SQRT(2) = 5A827999 (base 16)
Mm = 2**30 * SQRT(3) = 6ED9EBA1 (base 16)
Cr = 19
Mr = 17
Adams & Gilchrist Informational [Page 7]
RFC 2612 The CAST-256 Encryption Algorithm June 1999
for (i=0; i<24; i++)
{
for (j=0; j<8; j++)
{
Tmj_(i) = Cm
Cm = (Cm + Mm) mod 2**32
Trj_(i) = Cr
Cr = (Cr + Mr) mod 32
}
}
Key Schedule:
KAPPA = ABCDEFGH = 256 bit of primary key, K.
for (i=0; i<12; i++)
{
KAPPA <- W2i(KAPPA)
KAPPA <- W2i+1(KAPPA)
Kr_(i) <- KAPPA
Km_(i) <- KAPPA
}
Note: (|K| = 128) => (E = F = G = H = 0)
(|K| = 160) => (F = G = H = 0)
(|K| = 192) => (G = H = 0)
(|K| = 224) => (H = 0)
3. Cipher Naming
In order to avoid confusion when variable keysize operation is used,
the name CAST-256 is to be considered synonymous with the name CAST6;
this allows a keysize to be appended without ambiguity. Thus, for
example, CAST-256 with a 192-bit key is to be referred to as CAST6-
192; where a 256-bit key is explicitly intended, the name CAST6-256
should be used.
4. Cipher Usage
The CAST-256 cipher described in this document is available worldwide
on a royalty-free and licence-free basis for commercial and non-
commercial uses.
5. Security Considerations
This entire memo is about security since it describes an algorithm
which is specifically intended for cryptographic purposes.
