Topic: Fish ciphers


  
  SSH - Support - Cryptography A-Z - Algorithms - Secret Key Cryptosystems
Fish was used by the German army in WWII to encipher high-command communications.
Modern block ciphers can be seen as a variant of this idea, in the sense that they try hide the message under a very large alphabet that depends on the key.
In the block cipher case the permutation is generated by the secret key and the key space might not cover all the possible permutations.

Stream ciphers encrypt plaintext one byte or one bit at a time and can be thought of as a block cipher with a really small block size.
A stream cipher generates what is called a keystream and encryption is provided by combining the keystream with the plaintext, usually with the bitwise XOR operation.
Current interest in stream ciphers is most commonly attributed to the appealing theoretical properties of the one-time pad, but there have been, as of yet, no attempts to standardize on any particular stream cipher proposal as has been the case with block ciphers.

But researchers have calculated that the actual advantage for the barged fish is closer to 10 or 20 percent, suggesting that barged fish die in greater numbers later.
Some speculate that the fish contract diseases from each other, or that the chinook are stressed by the larger steelhead that share the ride with them.
In an effort to provide barged fish the same opportunity, the barges are plumbed to take in river water throughout the journey and to circulate it through the fish holds.

 Jamie Delano - As Time Goes By
Fish diseases were researched, expensive remedies purchased and poured, libations to the piscine gods.
The fish languished on: The beast of adolescence howled around the stockade, jangling our nerves; occasionally -- with a slavering and desperate scrabbling of claws -- clambering our stout stockade of reason, breathing the blood-breath on us and infecting us with rage.
The rage of adolescence evolved into the mature hopeful anger of a man… but the fish ghost still shines in the depths at night when the moon is full, and the pleasures of the pond will never be innocent now.

Typically the cipher is used in a chained mode, with all packets chained together as if it was a single data stream (the length field is never included in the encryption process).
The key for the first cipher is taken from the first 8 bytes of the session key; the key for the next cipher from the next 8 bytes, and the key for the third cipher from the following 8 bytes.
Separate ciphers are used for dif- ferent directions (that is, both directions have separate initializa- tion vectors or other state for the ciphers).

 Now Is The Time For A Distributed Fish Tank.
Fish will swim back and forth in the tank, but our special twist also allows fish to swim through a network to tanks running on other user's machines.
The use of the term "fish" here is in the objective sense; as mentioned, a "fish" is a generic specification for how specific types of fish should act.
Our fish could also be used to "play games." Each branch of the state-space would be distributed to different fish and as the server runs the alpha-beta routine, new fish would be instructed to investigate different possible outcomes.

And in particular it would be impossible because each of the Enigma and the Fish were used by the Germans as the basis not merely for one cipher each, not merely one Enigma and one Fish, but as the basis for a wide range of different ciphers, each cipher having its different key.
It was a very valuable cipher for shipping in relation to North African operations but it wasn't a cryptanalytical problem of the kind I have been describing in the case of the German ciphers.
They used book ciphers, and ironically we couldn't read the Italian book ciphers for the army, the navy and the airforce after they brought new ones in between June and November 1940 preparatory to or as a consequence of their own entry into the war.

 The Effect of the First Computers on History
The second, the so-called FISH machines, resembled teleprinters and were used only for the highest grade communications, usually between Berlin and the headquarters of various Army Groups.
FISH traffic was initially broken by hand, then later on a machine called 'Heath-Robinson' which consisted of about 30 valves and performed high-speed comparisons of two paper-tapes on which characters were represented by perforations.
What is known is that the FISH traffic contained the most vital secrets of the German High Command and that without Colossus the Allied penetration of the FISH ciphers could not have occurred in the abundance in which it did.

It was developed to break the "Fish" ciphers used by the German High Command, using Lorenz ciphering machines, which were more complicated than the Enigma Machines.
He was immediately put on the task of interpreting the so-called "Fish" traffic, which was the communications between the German High Command and its Field Commanders, including Berlin to Paris, Berlin to Oslo and Berlin to Tunis.

 FISH (cipher) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The FISH (FIbonacci SHrinking) stream cipher is a fast software based stream cipher using Lagged Fibonacci generators, plus a concept from the shrinking generator cipher.
FISH is quite fast in software and has a huge key length.
However, in the same paper where he proposed Pike, Ross Anderson showed that FISH can be broken with just a few thousand bits of known plaintext.

 The Illusion of Security
Symmetric ciphers are used millions of times a day, and they do have an impact on theft and compromise, therefore they must be doing there job.
The more often a cipher is used, the more ciphertext is available for analysis, and the greater the value of the information protected by that cipher.
But to verify the cipher, I think it is vital that we have an open system specification in which we can replace the existing cipher with what we could obtain if we could compile source code.

 PSEUDO RANDOM LONG KEY GENERATORS (Stream Ciphers)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In a stream cipher one generates a key which is as long as the plain message.
Each binary digit in the message is encrypted through a function which reads a corresponding binary digit within the key, and also takes into account additional information contained in the plaintext, in the emerging ciphertext, and within the rest of the key.
Stream ciphers are popular in military circles, and most system in use, are non in the public domain.

 blowfish vs two fish - TechIMO Forums
Well, the terminology might get a bit confusing, but here it goes: If the ciphers being used are "public-key ciphers" then it's more desireable to have a higher bit (512 or 1024 is recommended) cipher.
And if anyone brakes/decodes the cipher, they can easily decrypt the encrypted data, no matter how good the encryption was.
I don't know the formula for calculating the possibilites of a public-key cipher but I know you have to factor in the encryption bit and the composite number encoded in the bits.

By the end of the war, BP had broken almost all enemy ciphers and codes, including the formidable German mechanical encryption machines Enigma and Fish, and intercepted and decoded thousands of critical enemy messages that changed the course of the war.
PART THREE is about the Fish, the lesser known but (at least as far as the Germans believed) more secure encryption system that was used code the most critical communications between the German headquarters and commanders in the field.
This cipher system can be considered to be the father of many of the systems that are in use, however, it was also eventually broken by the BP team.

The actual implementation does not contain primitive ciphers such as character-substitution and when a new cipher obsoletes an old one, the code for the old one is removed and replaced with code for the new one.
The textbook on the other hand starts by presenting primitive ciphers and when new ciphers are invented, chapters are added but the chapters about the old ciphers are not removed.

Moreover, Fish was used for high level communications between Berlin and the field commanders.

In fact, that success was with the naval and air force versions; the army version of Enigma proved to be more resistant to analysis.
Since they could not always read army Enigma, they tried to read the machine-cipher named FISH, which was used only by the army High Command.
