AES matlab source code

function [s_box, inv_s_box] = s_box_gen (vargin)
%S_BOX_GEN  Create S-box and inverse S-box.
%
%   [S_BOX, INV_S_BOX] = S_BOX_GEN 
%   creates the S-box and the inverse S-box 
%   to be used by the function SUB_BYTES.
%   The S-box is created in two steps:
%   1. Take the multiplicative inverse of the finite field GF(2^8).
%   2. Apply an affine transformation.
%
%   [S_BOX, INV_S_BOX] = S_BOX_GEN (1) 
%   switches verbose mode on, that displays intermediate results.
%
%   S_BOX_GEN has to be called prior to 
%   KEY_EXPANSION, CIPHER, and INV_CIPHER.
%
%   In the AES Specification Standard the S-boxes are depicted
%   as arrays. For the sake of indexing-simplicity they are internally 
%   stored as vectors in this implementation.
