Ciphers that Securely Encipher their own Keys

Mihir Bellare, David Cash, and Sriram Keelveedhi

Abstract

In response to needs of disk encryption standardization bodies, we provide the first tweakable ciphers that are proven to securely encipher their own keys. We provide both a narrowblock design StE and a wideblock design EtE. Our proofs assume only standard PRP-CCA security of the underlying tweakable ciphers.
