SEED is a block cipher developed by the Korea Information Security Agency (KISA). It is used broadly throughout South Korean industry, but seldom found elsewhere. It gained popularity in Korea because 40-bit encryption was not considered strong enough, so the Korea Information Security Agency developed its own standard. However, this decision has historically limited the competition of web browsers in Korea, as no major SSL libraries or web browsers supported the SEED algorithm, requiring users to use an ActiveX control in Internet Explorer for secure web sites.
12-558: On April 1, 2015 the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (MSIP) announced its plan to remove the ActiveX dependency from at least 90 percent of the country's top 100 websites by 2017. Instead, HTML5 -based technologies will be employed as they operate on many platforms, including mobile devices. Starting with the private sector, the ministry plans to expand this further to ultimately remove this dependency from public websites as well. SEED
24-725: A TLS cipher; however, Mozilla decided to drop the support of SEED by default in Firefox 27 and above because support for SEED has not had any practical positive effect in terms of helping South Korea migrate away from ActiveX-based e-commerce, and other browsers are not offering any SEED-based cipher suites. NSS still supports SEED-based cipher suites. The Linux kernel has supported SEED since 2007. Bloombase supports SEED in their full suite of data cryptography solutions.

36-428: A cult organization. People worry about the religious neutrality of public servants. A person in charge said "the business plan is just a document made by a member of the mission, and is not an official policy". Ministry of Science and ICT The Ministry of Science and ICT ( MSIT ; Korean : 과학기술정보통신부 ; Hanja : 科學技術情報通信部 ) is a ministry of the government of South Korea . It succeeded
48-422: Is a 16-round Feistel network with 128-bit blocks and a 128-bit key . It uses two 8 × 8 S-boxes which, like those of SAFER , are derived from discrete exponentiation (in this case, x and x – plus some "incompatible operations"). It also has some resemblance to MISTY1 in the recursiveness of its structure: the 128-bit full cipher is a Feistel network with an F-function operating on 64-bit halves, while
60-416: Is expected to contribute to the creation of about 410,000 jobs in these areas by the year 2017, including about 90,000 jobs in business start-ups. The ministry will help drive the so-called national informatization project, which seeks to introduce technology into a variety of areas including traditional markets, agriculture, and small- and medium-sized businesses. The ministry is responsible for awarding
72-693: The 4 input bytes. SEED has a fairly complex key schedule , generating its thirty-two 32-bit subkeys through application of its G-function on a series of rotations of the raw key, combined with round constants derived (as in TEA ) from the Golden ratio . SEED has been adopted by several standard protocols: S/MIME (RFC 4010), TLS/SSL (RFC 4162), IPSec (RFC 4196), and ISO/IEC 18033-3:2010. NSS software security library in Mozilla's Gecko platform has implemented support for SEED, and Mozilla Firefox as of 3.5.4 supports SEED as
84-588: The F-function itself is a Feistel network composed of a G-function operating on 32-bit halves. However the recursion does not extend further because the G-function is not a Feistel network. In the G-function, the 32-bit word is considered as four 8-bit bytes, each of which is passed through one or the other of the S-boxes, then combined in a moderately complex set of boolean functions such that each output bit depends on 3 of
96-606: The Gwacheon Government Complex in Gwacheon , Gyeonggi Province . Ministry of Science and ICT succeeds the ministry from 2017. The creation of the ministry was announced in February 2013. The ministry was created under a reorganization plan initiated by South Korean President Park Geun-hye in an effort to generate new sources of economic growth in the areas of science and information technology . The creation of
108-740: The Korea Science and Technology Award in conjunction with the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies and the Korea Mobile App Award in conjunction with the MoneyToday publication. Because the ministry not only took over from the former Ministry of Science and Technology , but also assumed responsibility for ICT from the Ministry of Information and Communication and control of Korea Post , some people worry that it has become bloated. Some others worry about its Korean name, as
120-456: The Korean name translates directly to English as "Ministry of Future Creation and Science". Some scientists worry that it hints at Creationism . In May 2013, a mission was created within the ministry, stating their purpose as "Becoming lead gospel on ministry, and change country for god". According to their business plan, they planned to evangelize one person every month, identifying Islam as
132-663: The ministry was one of Park's core pledges during the 2013 campaign leading to her election. The ministry dissolved in July 2017. Ministry of Science and ICT (과학기술정보통신부) succeeds the former ministry. Choi Mun-kee was the inaugural Minister of this Ministry. Later Choi Yanghee became the Minister of Science, ICT and Future Planning. He was nominated by President Park Geun-hye. Policies on new media, such as cable TV service operators, satellite channels and digital multimedia broadcasting , have been transferred to this ministry. The ministry
