Simplified AES

Simplified AES (S-AES) is an educational tool designed to help students learn the structure of AES using smaller blocks and keys.

• Non-feistal block cipher
• Plaintext: 16 bit
• Key: 16 bit
• Ciphertext: 16 bit

SAES Structure

Key Expansion

Usage

Use the SimplifiedAES class in your program as follows.

For encryption:

from saes import SimplifiedAES

plaintext = 0b1101011100101000
key = 0b0100101011110101
ciphertext = SimplifiedAES(key).encrypt(plaintext) # 0b0010010011101100

For decryption:

from saes import SimplifiedAES

ciphertext = 0b0010010011101100
key = 0b0100101011110101
plaintext = SimplifiedAES(key).decrypt(ciphertext) # 0b1101011100101000
