Also, even + though the central directory can span disk boundaries, no + single record in the central directory should be split + across disks. + + 4) The entries in the central directory may not necessarily + be in the same order that files appear in the zipfile. + +UnShrinking - Method 1 +---------------------- + +Shrinking is a Dynamic Ziv-Lempel-Welch compression algorithm +with partial clearing. The initial code size is 9 bits, and +the maximum code size is 13 bits. Shrinking differs from +conventional Dynamic Ziv-Lempel-Welch implementations in several +respects: + +1) The code size is controlled by the compressor, and is not + automatically increased when codes larger than the current + code size are created (but not necessarily used). When + the decompressor encounters the code sequence 256 + (decimal) followed by 1, it should increase the code size + read from the input stream to the next bit size. No + blocking of the codes is performed, so the next code at + the increased size should be read from the input stream + immediately after where the previous code at the smaller + bit size was read. Again, the decompressor should not + increase the code size used until the sequence 256,1 is + encountered. + +2) When the table becomes full, total clearing is not + performed. Rather, when the compressor emits the code + sequence 256,2 (decimal), the decompressor should clear + all leaf nodes from the Ziv-Lempel tree, and continue to + use the current code size. The nodes that are cleared + from the Ziv-Lempel tree are then re-used, with the lowest + code value re-used first, and the highest code value + re-used last. The compressor can emit the sequence 256,2 + at any time. + +Expanding - Methods 2-5 +----------------------- + +The Reducing algorithm is actually a combination of two +distinct algorithms. The first algorithm compresses repeated +byte sequences, and the second algorithm takes the compressed +stream from the first algorithm and applies a probabilistic +compression method. + +The probabilistic compression stores an array of 'follower +sets' S(j), for j=0 to 255, corresponding to each possible +ASCII character. Each set contains between 0 and 32 +characters, to be denoted as S(j)[0],...,S(j)[m], where m<32. +The sets are stored at the beginning of the data area for a +Reduced file, in reverse order, with S(255) first, and S(0) +last. + +The sets are encoded as { N(j), S(j)[0],...,S(j)[N(j)-1] }, +where N(j) is the size of set S(j). N(j) can be 0, in which +case the follower set for S(j) is empty. Each N(j) value is +encoded in 6 bits, followed by N(j) eight bit character values +corresponding to S(j)[0] to S(j)[N(j)-1] respectively. If +N(j) is 0, then no values for S(j) are stored, and the value +for N(j-1) immediately follows. + +Immediately after the follower sets, is the compressed data +stream. The compressed data stream can be interpreted for the +probabilistic decompression as follows: + +let Last-Character <- 0. +loop until done + if the follower set S(Last-Character) is empty then + read 8 bits from the input stream, and copy this + value to the output stream. + otherwise if the follower set S(Last-Character) is non-empty then + read 1 bit from the input stream. + if this bit is not zero then + read 8 bits from the input stream, and copy this + value to the output stream. + otherwise if this bit is zero then + read B(N(Last-Character)) bits from the input + stream, and assign this value to I. + Copy the value of S(Last-Character)[I] to the + output stream. + + assign the last value placed on the output stream to + Last-Character. +end loop + +B(N(j)) is defined as the minimal number of bits required to +encode the value N(j)-1. + +The decompressed stream from above can then be expanded to +re-create the original file as follows: + +let State <- 0. + +loop until done + read 8 bits from the input stream into C. + case State of + 0: if C is not equal to DLE (144 decimal) then + copy C to the output stream. + otherwise if C is equal to DLE then + let State <- 1. + + 1: if C is non-zero then + let V <- C. + let Len <- L(V) + let State <- F(Len). + otherwise if C is zero then + copy the value 144 (decimal) to the output stream. + let State <- 0 + + 2: let Len <- Len + C + let State <- 3. + + 3: move backwards D(V,C) bytes in the output stream + (if this position is before the start of the output + stream, then assume that all the data before the + start of the output stream is filled with zeros). + copy Len+3 bytes from this position to the output stream. + let State <- 0. + end case +end loop + +The functions F,L, and D are dependent on the 'compression +factor', 1 through 4, and are defined as follows: + +For compression factor 1: + L(X) equals the lower 7 bits of X. + F(X) equals 2 if X equals 127 otherwise F(X) equals 3. + D(X,Y) equals the (upper 1 bit of X) * 256 + Y + 1. +For compression factor 2: + L(X) equals the lower 6 bits of X. + F(X) equals 2 if X equals 63 otherwise F(X) equals 3. + D(X,Y) equals the (upper 2 bits of X) * 256 + Y + 1. +For compression factor 3: + L(X) equals the lower 5 bits of X. + F(X) equals 2 if X equals 31 otherwise F(X) equals 3. + D(X,Y) equals the (upper 3 bits of X) * 256 + Y + 1. +For compression factor 4: + L(X) equals the lower 4 bits of X. + F(X) equals 2 if X equals 15 otherwise F(X) equals 3. + D(X,Y) equals the (upper 4 bits of X) * 256 + Y + 1. + +Imploding - Method 6 +-------------------- + +The Imploding algorithm is actually a combination of two distinct +algorithms. The first algorithm compresses repeated byte +sequences using a sliding dictionary. The second algorithm is +used to compress the encoding of the sliding dictionary output, +using multiple Shannon-Fano trees. + +The Imploding algorithm can use a 4K or 8K sliding dictionary +size. The dictionary size used can be determined by bit 1 in the +general purpose flag word; a 0 bit indicates a 4K dictionary +while a 1 bit indicates an 8K dictionary. + +The Shannon-Fano trees are stored at the start of the compressed +file. The number of trees stored is defined by bit 2 in the +general purpose flag word; a 0 bit indicates two trees stored, a +1 bit indicates three trees are stored. If 3 trees are stored, +the first Shannon-Fano tree represents the encoding of the +Literal characters, the second tree represents the encoding of +the Length information, the third represents the encoding of the +Distance information. When 2 Shannon-Fano trees are stored, the +Length tree is stored first, followed by the Distance tree. + +The Literal Shannon-Fano tree, if present is used to represent +the entire ASCII character set, and contains 256 values. This +tree is used to compress any data not compressed by the sliding +dictionary algorithm. When this tree is present, the Minimum +Match Length for the sliding dictionary is 3. If this tree is +not present, the Minimum Match Length is 2. + +The Length Shannon-Fano tree is used to compress the Length part +of the (length,distance) pairs from the sliding dictionary +output. The Length tree contains 64 values, ranging from the +Minimum Match Length, to 63 plus the Minimum Match Length. + +The Distance Shannon-Fano tree is used to compress the Distance +part of the (length,distance) pairs from the sliding dictionary +output. The Distance tree contains 64 values, ranging from 0 to +63, representing the upper 6 bits of the distance value. The +distance values themselves will be between 0 and the sliding +dictionary size, either 4K or 8K. + +The Shannon-Fano trees themselves are stored in a compressed +format. The first byte of the tree data represents the number of +bytes of data representing the (compressed) Shannon-Fano tree +minus 1. The remaining bytes represent the Shannon-Fano tree +data encoded as: + + High 4 bits: Number of values at this bit length + 1. (1 - 16) + Low 4 bits: Bit Length needed to represent value + 1. (1 - 16) + +The Shannon-Fano codes can be constructed from the bit lengths +using the following algorithm: + +1) Sort the Bit Lengths in ascending order, while retaining the + order of the original lengths stored in the file. + +2) Generate the Shannon-Fano trees: + + Code <- 0 + CodeIncrement <- 0 + LastBitLength <- 0 + i <- number of Shannon-Fano codes - 1 (either 255 or 63) + + loop while i >= 0 + Code = Code + CodeIncrement + if BitLength(i) <> LastBitLength then + LastBitLength=BitLength(i) + CodeIncrement = 1 shifted left (16 - LastBitLength) + ShannonCode(i) = Code + i <- i - 1 + end loop + +3) Reverse the order of all the bits in the above ShannonCode() + vector, so that the most significant bit becomes the least + significant bit. For example, the value 0x1234 (hex) would + become 0x2C48 (hex). + +4) Restore the order of Shannon-Fano codes as originally stored + within the file. + +Example: + + This example will show the encoding of a Shannon-Fano tree + of size 8. Notice that the actual Shannon-Fano trees used + for Imploding are either 64 or 256 entries in size. + +Example: 0x02, 0x42, 0x01, 0x13 + + The first byte indicates 3 values in this table. Decoding the + bytes: + 0x42 = 5 codes of 3 bits long + 0x01 = 1 code of 2 bits long + 0x13 = 2 codes of 4 bits long + + This would generate the original bit length array of: + (3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 4, 4) + + There are 8 codes in this table for the values 0 thru 7. Using + the algorithm to obtain the Shannon-Fano codes produces: + + Reversed Order Original +Val Sorted Constructed Code Value Restored Length +--- ------ ----------------- -------- -------- ------ +0: 2 1100000000000000 11 101 3 +1: 3 1010000000000000 101 001 3 +2: 3 1000000000000000 001 110 3 +3: 3 0110000000000000 110 010 3 +4: 3 0100000000000000 010 100 3 +5: 3 0010000000000000 100 11 2 +6: 4 0001000000000000 1000 1000 4 +7: 4 0000000000000000 0000 0000 4 + +The values in the Val, Order Restored and Original Length columns +now represent the Shannon-Fano encoding tree that can be used for +decoding the Shannon-Fano encoded data. How to parse the +variable length Shannon-Fano values from the data stream is beyond +the scope of this document. (See the references listed at the end of +this document for more information.) However, traditional decoding +schemes used for Huffman variable length decoding, such as the +Greenlaw algorithm, can be successfully applied. + +The compressed data stream begins immediately after the +compressed Shannon-Fano data. The compressed data stream can be +interpreted as follows: + +loop until done + read 1 bit from input stream. + + if this bit is non-zero then (encoded data is literal data) + if Literal Shannon-Fano tree is present + read and decode character using Literal Shannon-Fano tree. + otherwise + read 8 bits from input stream. + copy character to the output stream. + otherwise (encoded data is sliding dictionary match) + if 8K dictionary size + read 7 bits for offset Distance (lower 7 bits of offset). + otherwise + read 6 bits for offset Distance (lower 6 bits of offset). + + using the Distance Shannon-Fano tree, read and decode the + upper 6 bits of the Distance value. + + using the Length Shannon-Fano tree, read and decode + the Length value. + + Length <- Length + Minimum Match Length + + if Length = 63 + Minimum Match Length + read 8 bits from the input stream, + add this value to Length. + + move backwards Distance+1 bytes in the output stream, and + copy Length characters from this position to the output + stream. (if this position is before the start of the output + stream, then assume that all the data before the start of + the output stream is filled with zeros). +end loop + +Tokenizing - Method 7 +-------------------- + +This method is not used by PKZIP. + +Deflating - Method 8 +----------------- + +The Deflate algorithm is similar to the Implode algorithm using +a sliding dictionary of up to 32K with secondary compression +from Huffman/Shannon-Fano codes. + +The compressed data is stored in blocks with a header describing +the block and the Huffman codes used in the data block. The header +format is as follows: + + Bit 0: Last Block bit This bit is set to 1 if this is the last + compressed block in the data. + Bits 1-2: Block type + 00 (0) - Block is stored - All stored data is byte aligned. + Skip bits until next byte, then next word = block + length, followed by the ones compliment of the block + length word. Remaining data in block is the stored + data. + + 01 (1) - Use fixed Huffman codes for literal and distance codes. + Lit Code Bits Dist Code Bits + --------- ---- --------- ---- + 0 - 143 8 0 - 31 5 + 144 - 255 9 + 256 - 279 7 + 280 - 287 8 + + Literal codes 286-287 and distance codes 30-31 are + never used but participate in the huffman construction. + + 10 (2) - Dynamic Huffman codes. (See expanding Huffman codes) + + 11 (3) - Reserved - Flag a "Error in compressed data" if seen. + +Expanding Huffman Codes +----------------------- +If the data block is stored with dynamic Huffman codes, the Huffman +codes are sent in the following compressed format: + + 5 Bits: # of Literal codes sent - 256 (256 - 286) + All other codes are never sent. + 5 Bits: # of Dist codes - 1 (1 - 32) + 4 Bits: # of Bit Length codes - 3 (3 - 19) + +The Huffman codes are sent as bit lengths and the codes are built as +described in the implode algorithm. The bit lengths themselves are +compressed with Huffman codes. There are 19 bit length codes: + + 0 - 15: Represent bit lengths of 0 - 15 + 16: Copy the previous bit length 3 - 6 times. + The next 2 bits indicate repeat length (0 = 3, ... ,3 = 6) + Example: Codes 8, 16 (+2 bits 11), 16 (+2 bits 10) will + expand to 12 bit lengths of 8 (1 + 6 + 5) + 17: Repeat a bit length of 0 for 3 - 10 times. (3 bits of length) + 18: Repeat a bit length of 0 for 11 - 138 times (7 bits of length) + +The lengths of the bit length codes are sent packed 3 bits per value +(0 - 7) in the following order: + + 16, 17, 18, 0, 8, 7, 9, 6, 10, 5, 11, 4, 12, 3, 13, 2, 14, 1, 15 + +The Huffman codes should be built as described in the Implode algorithm +except codes are assigned starting at the shortest bit length, i.e. the +shortest code should be all 0's rather than all 1's. Also, codes with +a bit length of zero do not participate in the tree construction. The +codes are then used to decode the bit lengths for the literal and +distance tables. + +The bit lengths for the literal tables are sent first with the number +of entries sent described by the 5 bits sent earlier. There are up +to 286 literal characters; the first 256 represent the respective 8 +bit character, code 256 represents the End-Of-Block code, the remaining +29 codes represent copy lengths of 3 thru 258.

PKWARE is grateful to Mr. Schlafly for his expert +help and advice in the field of data encryption. + +PKZIP encrypts the compressed data stream. Encrypted files must +be decrypted before they can be extracted. + +Each encrypted file has an extra 12 bytes stored at the start of +the data area defining the encryption header for that file. The +encryption header is originally set to random values, and then +itself encrypted, using three, 32-bit keys. The key values are +initialized using the supplied encryption password. After each byte +is encrypted, the keys are then updated using pseudo-random number +generation techniques in combination with the same CRC-32 algorithm +used in PKZIP and described elsewhere in this document. + +The following is the basic steps required to decrypt a file: + +1) Initialize the three 32-bit keys with the password. +2) Read and decrypt the 12-byte encryption header, further + initializing the encryption keys. +3) Read and decrypt the compressed data stream using the + encryption keys. + +Step 1 - Initializing the encryption keys +----------------------------------------- + +Key(0) <- 305419896 +Key(1) <- 591751049 +Key(2) <- 878082192 + +loop for i <- 0 to length(password)-1 + update_keys(password(i)) +end loop + +Where update_keys() is defined as: + +update_keys(char): + Key(0) <- crc32(key(0),char) + Key(1) <- Key(1) + (Key(0) & 000000ffH) + Key(1) <- Key(1) * 134775813 + 1 + Key(2) <- crc32(key(2),key(1) >> 24) +end update_keys + +Where crc32(old_crc,char) is a routine that given a CRC value and a +character, returns an updated CRC value after applying the CRC-32 +algorithm described elsewhere in this document. + +Step 2 - Decrypting the encryption header +----------------------------------------- + +The purpose of this step is to further initialize the encryption +keys, based on random data, to render a plaintext attack on the +data ineffective. + +Read the 12-byte encryption header into Buffer, in locations +Buffer(0) thru Buffer(11). + +loop for i <- 0 to 11 + C <- buffer(i) ^ decrypt_byte() + update_keys(C) + buffer(i) <- C +end loop + +Where decrypt_byte() is defined as: + +unsigned char decrypt_byte() + local unsigned short temp + temp <- Key(2) | 2 + decrypt_byte <- (temp * (temp ^ 1)) >> 8 +end decrypt_byte + +After the header is decrypted, the last 1 or 2 bytes in Buffer +should be the high-order word/byte of the CRC for the file being +decrypted, stored in Intel low-byte/high-byte order. Versions of +PKZIP prior to 2.0 used a 2 byte CRC check; a 1 byte CRC check is +used on versions after 2.0. This can be used to test if the password +supplied is correct or not. + +Step 3 - Decrypting the compressed data stream +---------------------------------------------- + +The compressed data stream can be decrypted as follows: + +loop until done + read a character into C + Temp <- C ^ decrypt_byte() + update_keys(temp) + output Temp +end loop + +In addition to the above mentioned contributors to PKZIP and PKUNZIP, +I would like to extend special thanks to Robert Mahoney for suggesting +the extension .ZIP for this software. + +References: + + Fiala, Edward R., and Greene, Daniel H., "Data compression with + finite windows", Communications of the ACM, Volume 32, Number 4, + April 1989, pages 490-505. + + Held, Gilbert, "Data Compression, Techniques and Applications, + Hardware and Software Considerations", John Wiley & Sons, 1987. + + Huffman, D.A., "A method for the construction of minimum-redundancy + codes", Proceedings of the IRE, Volume 40, Number 9, September 1952, + pages 1098-1101. + + Nelson, Mark, "LZW Data Compression", Dr. Dobbs Journal, Volume 14, + Number 10, October 1989, pages 29-37. + + Nelson, Mark, "The Data Compression Book", M&T Books, 1991. + + Storer, James A., "Data Compression, Methods and Theory", + Computer Science Press, 1988 + + Welch, Terry, "A Technique for High-Performance Data Compression", + IEEE Computer, Volume 17, Number 6, June 1984, pages 8-19. + + Ziv, J. and Lempel, A., "A universal algorithm for sequential data + compression", Communications of the ACM, Volume 30, Number 6, + June 1987, pages 520-540. + + Ziv, J. and Lempel, A., "Compression of individual sequences via + variable-rate coding", IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, + Volume 24, Number 5, September 1978, pages 530-536. |
