Please explain the solution process in detail and let me know the answer at the end.
The S-boxes of the Feistel cipher are designed to support the avalanche criterion. In particular, by flipping one bit of the input of an S-box, on average, at least two bits of the output will flip. This exercise wants you to show this for particular values. To help you, we first illustrate this for one input; you then must show this for another input.
In both cases, assume that all round keys are:
111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111(48 bits)
a. Case 1(illustration): Let the input be:
{:[1000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0001](32 bits)
The table below is used to expand it.
110000000000000000000000000000000000000000000011(48 bits)
The result is XORed with the key round key to get
001111111111111111111111111111111111111111111100(48 bits)
Then we use the substitution below
to get:
0001,1101,1101,1101,1101,1101,1101,0101,(**)
This is the 32-bit output.
Next flip the first bit of the input, to get
0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0001
expand it to,
100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000010(48 bits)
xOR it with the round key to get,
011111111111111111111111111111111111111111111101(48 bits)
and then use the substitution above to get
This is the output. Notice that one flipped bit in the input of the first S-Box has caused 2 bits to flipped in the
output of the first substitution and anther 2 bits in the output of the last substitution.
b. Case 2. Now do this for input (same round key):
1100,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0001
and then flip the third bit to see how many bits get flipped in the output. Show all your work, and don't forget
to count the number of flipped bits.
