  2. Malleability (cryptography) - Wikipedia

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

    Malleability is often an undesirable property in a general-purpose cryptosystem, since it allows an attacker to modify the contents of a message. For example, suppose that a bank uses a stream cipher to hide its financial information, and a user sends an encrypted message containing, say, "TRANSFER $0000100.00 TO ACCOUNT #199."

  3. Ductility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ductility

    Malleable materials can be formed cold using stamping or pressing, whereas brittle materials may be cast or thermoformed. High degrees of ductility occur due to metallic bonds , which are found predominantly in metals; this leads to the common perception that metals are ductile in general.

    Metallic-bonded minerals are usually malleable. Ductility. The mineral may be drawn into a wire. ... Gold, for example, is sectile but pyrite ("fool's gold") is not.

    Iron, shown here as fragments and a 1 cm 3 cube, is an example of a chemical element that is a metal. ... Metals are typically malleable and ductile, ...

  6. Pewter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pewter

    Pewter (/ ˈ p juː t ər /) is a malleable metal alloy consisting of tin (85–99%), antimony (approximately 5–10%), copper (2%), bismuth, and sometimes silver. [1] In the past, it was an alloy of tin and lead , but most modern pewter, in order to prevent lead poisoning , is not made with lead.

  7. ElGamal encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ElGamal_encryption

    ElGamal encryption is unconditionally malleable, and therefore is not secure under chosen ciphertext attack. For example, given an encryption (,) of some (possibly unknown) message , one can easily construct a valid encryption (,) of the message .

  8. Non-malleable code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-malleable_code

    To know the operation schema of non-malleable code, we have to have a knowledge of the basic experiment it based on. The following is the three step method of tampering experiment. A source message s {\displaystyle s} is encoded via a (possibly randomized) procedure E n c {\displaystyle Enc} , yielding a code-word c {\displaystyle c} = E n c ...

  9. Software brittleness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_brittleness

    For example, a user may be running on a low resolution display, may witness the software opening a window too large to fit the display. The opposite could be the case as well; say, a window too small for the display, without the capability to resize, or a window, where elements do not fit correctly, because the developers' assumption about the ...
