I am working on a web server that receives encrypted data from an ESP8266 module. I have managed to get the encryption and decryption fully functional in C, however PHP is giving me a small problem. I have narrowed the problem the these two functions in the decryption (AES encrypt/decrypt is used):
This function performs multiplication with the Galo's field:
function gmul($a, $b) {
$p = 0;
$counter;
$hi_bit_set;
for($counter = 0; $counter < 8; $counter++) {
if(($b & 1) == 1)
$p ^= $a;
$hi_bit_set = ($a & 0x80);
$a <<= 1;
if($hi_bit_set == 0x80)
$a ^= 0x1b;
$b >>= 1;
}
return $p;}
This will mix the columns with the use of multiplication of the Galos field:
function invMixColumns($w){
$i;
$j;
$k;
$temp;
for($j = 0; $j < 4; $j++){
for($k =0; $k < 4; $k++){
$temp[$j][$k] = $w[$j][$k];
}
}
for($i = 0; $i < 4; $i++)
{
$w[0][$i] = gmul($temp[0][$i],14) ^ gmul($temp[3][$i],9) ^ gmul($temp[2][$i],13) ^ gmul($temp[1][$i],11);
$w[1][$i] = gmul($temp[1][$i],14) ^ gmul($temp[0][$i],9) ^ gmul($temp[3][$i],13) ^ gmul($temp[2][$i],11);
$w[2][$i] = gmul($temp[2][$i],14) ^ gmul($temp[1][$i],9) ^ gmul($temp[0][$i],13) ^ gmul($temp[3][$i],11);
$w[3][$i] = gmul($temp[3][$i],14) ^ gmul($temp[2][$i],9) ^ gmul($temp[1][$i],13) ^ gmul($temp[0][$i],11);
}
return $w;
}
The invMixColumns function recieves the following input (hex)
[ff][6][20][d5]
[10][bd][eb][4c]
[28][59][4e][69]
[6e][84][79][7]
And the expected output should be (hex): (Tested in C)
[dd][77][53][34]
[15][f1][99][3f]
[43][e4][de][7d]
[22][04][e8][81]
The actual output in PHP is close but there is a prefix hex value as seen here (hex):
[7dd][377][753][434]
[415][2f1][499][63f]
[643][3e4][6de][57d]
[522][204][5e8][781]
It is possibly a syntax error that I made. Any Ideas? Is there a way to simply remove the first hex number, for example 0x7dd -> 0xdd ? Thanks in advance.
