  2. Key exchange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_exchange

    Key exchange (also key establishment) is a method in cryptography by which cryptographic keys are exchanged between two parties, allowing use of a cryptographic algorithm. In the Diffie–Hellman key exchange scheme, each party generates a public/private key pair and distributes the public key. After obtaining an authentic copy of each other's ...

  3. Ciphertext stealing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciphertext_stealing

    D n = Decrypt (K, C n−1). Decrypt the second-to-last ciphertext block using ECB mode. C n = C n || Tail (D n, B−M). Pad the ciphertext to the nearest multiple of the block size using the last B−M bits of block cipher decryption of the second-to-last ciphertext block. Swap the last two ciphertext blocks. Decrypt the (modified) ciphertext ...

  4. Three-pass protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-pass_protocol

    The basic concept of the three-pass protocol is that each party has a private encryption key and a private decryption key. The two parties use their keys independently, first to encrypt the message, and then to decrypt the message. The protocol uses an encryption function E and a decryption function D.

  5. Common Scrambling Algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Scrambling_Algorithm

    The stream cipher part of CSA is prone to bit slicing, a software implementation technique which allows decryption of many blocks, or the same block with many different keys, at the same time. This significantly speeds up a brute force search implemented in software, although the factor is too low for a practical real-time attack.

  6. Key (cryptography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_(cryptography)

    Key agreement and key transport are the two types of a key exchange scheme that are used to be remotely exchanged between entities . In a key agreement scheme, a secret key, which is used between the sender and the receiver to encrypt and decrypt information, is set up to be sent indirectly.

  7. Ciphertext - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciphertext

    In a symmetric key algorithm (e.g., DES, AES), the sender and receiver have a shared key established in advance: the sender uses the shared key to perform encryption; the receiver uses the shared key to perform decryption. Symmetric key algorithms can either be block ciphers or stream ciphers. Block ciphers operate on fixed-length groups of ...

  8. Cryptosystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptosystem

    Mathematically, a cryptosystem or encryption scheme can be defined as a tuple (,,,,) with the following properties.. is a set called the "plaintext space". Its elements are called plaintexts.; is a set called the "ciphertext space". Its elements are called ciphertexts.; is a set called the "key space". Its elements are called keys.; = {:} is a set of functions :. Its elements are called ...

  9. McEliece cryptosystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McEliece_cryptosystem

    McEliece consists of three algorithms: a probabilistic key generation algorithm that produces a public and a private key, a probabilistic encryption algorithm, and a deterministic decryption algorithm. All users in a McEliece deployment share a set of common security parameters: ,,.
