Popis: In this paper we introduce a classification of existing re-keying-based approaches to increase the security of block cipher operation modes. We introduce the concepts of external and internal re-keying putting the focus on the second one. Whereas the external re-keying approach is widely used and provides the mechanism of key usage control on a message stream processing level, the internal re-keying approach is the first known mechanism providing such a control on a single message processing level. These approaches can be applied completely independently. The internal re-keying approach was already applied to the \(\mathrm {\text {CTR}}\) encryption mode and yielded the \(\text {CTR-ACPKM}\) mode. The mode is a part of RFC 8645 “Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys”, which represents the consensus of the Crypto Forum Research Group (CFRG) of the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF).
