In cryptography , M8 is a block cipher designed by Hitachi in 1999. It is a modification of Hitachi's earlier M6 algorithm, designed for greater security and high performance in both hardware and 32-bit software implementations. M8 was registered by Hitachi in March 1999 as ISO/IEC 9979-0020.

130-539: A set of N 96-bit algorithm expansion keys. The round function is used for both key expansion and encryption/decryption. The key expansion process transforms the 64-bit data key and 256-bit key expansion key into a 256-bit execution key, consisting of 4 pairs of 32-bit numbers K R 0 , K L 0 , . . . , K R 3 , K L 3 {\displaystyle K_{R_{0}},K_{L_{0}},...,K_{R_{3}},K_{L_{3}}} . The cipher has

156-434: A structure determined by a round-specific "algorithm decision key ". Making the rounds key-dependent is intended to make cryptanalysis more difficult (see FROG for a similar design philosophy). The round count can be set to any positive integer N, but a round count of at least 10 is recommended. The key consists of four components: a 64-bit data key, 256-bit key expansion key, a set of N 24-bit algorithm decision keys, and

182-1773: A typical Feistel cipher design. First, the 64-bit input block is split into two 32-bit halves. In each round, the left half undergoes a key-dependent transformation, and is then combined with the right half. Finally, the halves are swapped. In total, the round function consists of a sequence of nine customizable operations and three bitwise rotations: R i + 1 = L i x = L i op 1 ⁡ K L i mod 4 y = ( ( x <<< S 1 ) op 2 ⁡ x ) op 3 ⁡ α z = ( ( ( y <<< S 2 ) op 4 ⁡ y ) op 5 ⁡ β ) op 6 ⁡ K R i mod 4 L i + 1 = ( ( ( z <<< S 3 ) op 7 ⁡ z ) op 8 ⁡ γ ) op 9 ⁡ R i {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}R_{i+1}&=L_{i}\\x&=L_{i}\operatorname {op} _{1}K_{L_{i{\bmod {4}}}}\\y&=((x<<<S_{1})\operatorname {op} _{2}x)\operatorname {op} _{3}\alpha \\z&=(((y<<<S_{2})\operatorname {op} _{4}y)\operatorname {op} _{5}\beta )\operatorname {op} _{6}K_{R_{i{\bmod {4}}}}\\L_{i+1}&=(((z<<<S_{3})\operatorname {op} _{7}z)\operatorname {op} _{8}\gamma )\operatorname {op} _{9}R_{i}\end{aligned}}} i {\displaystyle i} denotes

286-634: The Mk 2 fragmentation hand grenade . Owing to its hand-thrown nature, it had a range of only about 35 yards (32 meters) and could not be used against armored targets. To keep its weight down, it had to have a small charge, with a fatality radius of just 6 yards (5.5 meters). For longer ranges, rifle grenade attachments were available for the M1903 Springfield (M1 grenade launcher) and M1917 Enfield (M2 grenade launcher). These rifles were limited standard, however, and had been all but replaced in frontline service by

The M7 Auxiliary Grenade Cartridge booster charge, or "Vitamin Pill", could be inserted into the M7 grenade launcher's muzzle to increase its range by an additional 100 to 150 yards. These booster charges were made from cut-down .45 Colt revolver cartridges, with a small hole in the base and a red cardboard disc inside the case over

390-461: The cartridges propelled the grenade forward with considerable force. The M7 could fire grenades up to 200 metres (220 yards), compared with the maximum of 30 metres (33 yards) achieved by a hand-thrown grenade. Anti-armor ( M9 ), Fragmentation ( M17 ), and smoke grenades (M22) were available for the M7. When the United States entered World War II at the end of 1941, all infantry were issued with

416-462: The charge. The charge was loaded into the launcher's muzzle like a shotgun shell (with the rim keeping it in place) and the rifle grenade was slid into place over it. When the blank cartridge was fired, its flame would travel up the rifle's barrel, ignite the booster charge, and propel the booster cartridge into the base of the rifle grenade. The booster cartridge would fall out of the rifle grenades tail fin assembly in flight. The M8 grenade launcher

The other end was cylindrical with a small clip that held the grenade in place by friction.

520-426: The new service rifle, the M1 Garand, by 1943. To rectify this, U.S. Army Ordnance designed a new launcher attachment for the M1 Garand, designated the M7, which could fire much heavier grenades up to 250 yards. M7-compatible fragmentation grenades had a fatality radius of 11 yards (10 meters). It entered production and service in 1943. The M7 grenade launcher was a tube-shaped device with an overall length (including

One to three M7 grenade launchers were issued to each rifle squad depending on period. It

624-526: Was a 22 mm rifle grenade launcher attachment for the M1 Garand rifle that saw widespread use throughout World War II and the Korean War . The M7 was a tube-shaped device, with one end slotting over the muzzle of the rifle and attaching to the bayonet mount, and the other end holding the grenade in place. Blank cartridges were loaded into the rifle prior to firing. When fired, the expanding gases generated by

650-417: Was also issued to support and headquarters elements. The M7 series grenade launcher came with accessories. The M15 auxiliary sight was mounted on the left-hand side of the stock accompanied by a template to allow it to be properly positioned on the stock. A spirit level allowed the user to figure out the arc of the weapon to aid in aiming the grenade. A rubber recoil boot (part No. B200968) could be slipped on

676-428: Was chambered in the rifle. Using markings engraved onto the device to determine the desired range, the rifle grenade was slipped over the launcher. When fired, the resulting expanding gases propelled the grenade a considerable distance depending on the grenade type, the vertical angle that the rifle was held, and how far the grenade was positioned onto the launcher. Since the device disabled the semi-automatic function of
