aeskeyschedule 0.0.3

Tool to calculate the Rijndael key schedule given any AES-128 round key.

AES key schedule tool

This tool can be used as either a python library or a command line tool

This project is available on pypi

pip3 install aeskeyschedule --user --upgrade

Command Line Tool

usage: aeskeyschedule [-h] [-r AES_ROUND] round_key

Tool to calculate the Rijndael key schedule given any AES-128 round key.

positional arguments:
  round_key             the round key in hex notation from which the full key
                        will be derived.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -r AES_ROUND, --round AES_ROUND
                        The AES round of the provided key. Defaults to 0 (base
                        key).

Python Library

The two main functions are key_schedule and reverse_key_schedule

Calculate the AES-128 base key given the last round key:

base_key = reverse_key_schedule(b'\xe2K\xbb"~\xe8\xb3\xe6u\x06_\xdb\x9b\xd6\x9bB', 10)

Calculate the last round key using an AES-128 base key:

base_key = b'\x91\xa3\xba\x04\xe3\xdb:\x10\xc7$R\x15|]\xca\x87'
expanded_key = key_schedule(base_key)
assert expanded_key[0] == base_key
last_round_key = expanded_key[10]
