zlib crc32_combine () accepts crcA, crcB and lengthB to calculate crcAB.
crc32_combine(crcA, crcB, lenB)
Using concepts from Mark Adler is an amazing post here and here. I was able to create crc32_trim_trailing.pl , which takes crcAB, crcB and lengthB to calculate crcA (I use this to remove the pad of known length and value).
perl crc32_trim_trailing.pl $crcAB $crcB $lenB
Unfortunately, this uses the principles of the described slow method, where each null byte must be disabled one at a time. It is slow but is a good proof of concept.
I was working on a quick version of crc32_trim_trailing, which uses the matrix trick described in Mark notes and implemented to combine use cases in zlib crc32_combine ().
Here is my attempt to crc32_trim_trailing.c.
#include <stdio.h>
#define GF2_DIM 32
unsigned long gf2_matrix_times(mat, vec)
unsigned long *mat;
unsigned long vec;
{
unsigned long sum;
sum = 0;
while (vec) {
if (vec & 1)
sum ^= *mat;
vec >>= 1;
mat++;
}
return sum;
}
void gf2_matrix_square(square, mat)
unsigned long *square;
unsigned long *mat;
{
int n;
for (n = 0; n < GF2_DIM; n++)
square[n] = gf2_matrix_times(mat, mat[n]);
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
unsigned long crc1;
unsigned long crc2;
int len2;
sscanf(argv[1], "%lx", &crc1);
sscanf(argv[2], "%lx", &crc2);
sscanf(argv[3], "%d", &len2);
int n;
unsigned long row;
unsigned long even[GF2_DIM];
unsigned long odd[GF2_DIM];
if (len2 <= 0)
return crc1;
crc1 ^= crc2;
odd[0] = 0x82608edbUL;
row = 1;
for (n = 1; n < GF2_DIM; n++) {
odd[n] = row;
row <<= 1;
}
gf2_matrix_square(even, odd);
gf2_matrix_square(odd, even);
do {
gf2_matrix_square(even, odd);
if (len2 & 1)
crc1 = gf2_matrix_times(even, crc1);
len2 >>= 1;
if (len2 == 0)
break;
gf2_matrix_square(odd, even);
if (len2 & 1)
crc1 = gf2_matrix_times(odd, crc1);
len2 >>= 1;
} while (len2 != 0);
printf("\nCRC: %lx\n", crc1);
return 0;
}
I moved xor before matrix multiplication. This seems to work without problems and gives us crcA0, xoring crcAB and crcB.
Next, using sage math, I was able to find the inverse matrix of the original matrix used in crc32_combine ().
Running each of these matrices through 3 squares leads to the fact that in the matrix crc32_combine () is used to add 1 zero byte (matrixA), and it is inverse (matrixB).
Using mage math, I confirmed the following.
- matrixA * matrixB = identity
- crc * identity = crc
- crc * matrixA * matrixB = crc
the code:
M = MatrixSpace(GF(2),32,32)
A = M([0,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,1,1,0,
