  2. Transparent decryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparent_decryption

    In transparent decryption, the decryption key is distributed among a set of agents (called trustees); they use their key share only if the required transparency conditions have been satisfied. Typically, the transparency condition can be formulated as the presence of the decryption request in a distributed ledger. [2]

  3. Key (cryptography) - Wikipedia

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

    In the past, keys were required to be a minimum of 40 bits in length, however, as technology advanced, these keys were being broken quicker and quicker. As a response, restrictions on symmetric keys were enhanced to be greater in size. Currently, 2048 bit RSA [8] is commonly used, which is sufficient for current systems. However, current key ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. SM4 (cipher) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SM4_(cipher)

    The SM4 cipher has a key size and a block size of 128 bits each. [6] [7] Encryption or decryption of one block of data is composed of 32 rounds.A non-linear key schedule is used to produce the round keys and the decryption uses the same round keys as for encryption, except that they are in reversed order.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Cryptanalysis of the Enigma - Wikipedia

    The work on the Shark cipher would have to be independent of the continuing work on messages in the Dolphin cipher. Solving Shark keys on 3-rotor bombes would have taken 50 to 100 times as long as an average Air Force or Army job. U-boat cribs at this time were extremely poor. [157]

  8. EFF DES cracker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFF_DES_cracker

    In cryptography, the EFF DES cracker (nicknamed "Deep Crack") is a machine built by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) in 1998, to perform a brute force search of the Data Encryption Standard (DES) cipher's key space – that is, to decrypt an encrypted message by trying every possible key.

  9. Ciphertext stealing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciphertext_stealing

    D n = Decrypt (K, C n−1). Decrypt C n−1 to create D n. This undoes step 4 of the encryption process. E n−1 = C n || Tail (D n, B−M). Pad C n with the extracted ciphertext in the tail end of D n (placed there in step 3 of the ECB encryption process). P n = Head (D n, M). Select the first M bits of D n to create P n.
