The spec says: > For 4 bit numbers, the processing is a little more interesting. Each > word of the tmp array is used to control permutations as in the 2-bit > and 3-bit cases. Each temporary variable is used in 4-bit chunks from > the low-order end. 8 cycles are necessary to use up each variable. A > cycle adds a 4-bit chunk into s0, then applies PERM1. Then the next > 4-bit chunk is xored into s0, and PERM2 is applied. That is, add then xor. This implementation had it back to front, perhaps an error derived from 2–3 which *do* use xor then add.

Aside: anyone got the official test vectors? http://richard.schroeppel.name:8015/hpc/test-index.html links to a dead FTP site, and I haven’t been able to find any other source. Such tests would help confirm an absence of errors like this. |
