DES and Triple length DES in OFB Mode

Cipher DES has a output feedback mode, DES-OFB, denoted CKM_DES_OFB8 and CKM_DES_OFB64. It is a mechanism for single and multiple-part encryption and decryption with DES.

It has a parameter, an initialization vector for this mode. The initialization vector has the same length as the blocksize.

Constraints on key types and the length of data are summarized in the following table:

C_Encrypt CKK_DES, CKK_DES2, CKK_DES3 

any

 

same as input length

 

no final part

   


C_Decrypt CKK_DES, CKK_DES2, CKK_DES3 

any

 

same as input length

 

no final part

  

 



For this mechanism the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure is as specified for CBC mode.
