EME for Go [](https://drone.io/github.com/rfjakob/eme/latest) [](https://godoc.org/github.com/rfjakob/eme) 
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
EME (ECB-Mix-ECB) is a wide-block encryption mode developed by Halevi
|
|
and Rogaway in 2003 [eme]. (see references below)
|
|
|
|
EME uses multiple invocations of a block cipher to construct a new
|
|
cipher of bigger block size (in multiples of 16 bytes, up to 2048 bytes).
|
|
|
|
Quoting from the original [eme] paper:
|
|
|
|
> We describe a block-cipher mode of operation, EME, that turns an n-bit block cipher into
|
|
> a tweakable enciphering scheme that acts on strings of mn bits, where m ∈ [1..n]. The mode is
|
|
> parallelizable, but as serial-efficient as the non-parallelizable mode CMC [6]. EME can be used
|
|
> to solve the disk-sector encryption problem. The algorithm entails two layers of ECB encryption
|
|
> and a “lightweight mixing” in between. We prove EME secure, in the reduction-based sense of
|
|
> modern cryptography.
|

|
This is an implementation of EME in Go, complete with test vectors from IEEE.

Is it patentend?

In 2007, the UC Davis has decided to abandon [patabandon] the patent
|

application for EME [patappl].

**EME-32** is EME with the cipher set to AES and the length set to 512.
|
|
That is, EME-32 [eme-32-pdf] is a subset of EME.
|
|
|
|
**EME2**, also known as EME* [emestar], is an extended version of EME
|
|
that has built-in handling for data that is not a multiple of 16 bytes
|
|
long.
|
|
EME2 has been selected for standardization in IEEE P1619.2 [p1619.2].

Note: This is the original EME paper. EME is specified for an arbitrary
|
|
number of block-cipher blocks. EME-32 is a concrete implementation of
|
|
EME with a fixed length of 32 AES blocks.
