To expand on the DES example, the S-boxes are essentially large 'random' lookup tables. The NSA took the S-boxes, and replaced them with their own tables. At the time, it was not clear if this was to protect against an unknown attack, or to introduce an unknown attack (which may involve knowing some secret key used to generate the S-boxes). |
