TMAC: Two-Key CBC MAC

Kaoru Kurosawa and Tetsu Iwata

Abstract

In this paper, we propose TMAC, Two-Key CBC Message Authentication Code. TMAC is a refinement of XCBC (which is a variant of CBC MAC) shown by Black and Rogaway. We use only $(k+n)$-bit key for TMAC while XCBC uses $(k+2n)$-bit key, where $k$ is the key length of the underlying block cipher and $n$ is its block length. The cost for reducing the size of secret keys is almost negligible; only one shift and one conditional XOR. Similarly to XCBC, our algorithm correctly and efficiently handles messages of arbitrary bit length.
