Description of feedback shift register, a cryptographic structure used for generating key streams based on internal state and feedback function.
Block Cipher
Discussion on block cipher operation, where data is processed in blocks for encryption and decryption, maintaining the block size for both plaintext and ciphertext blocks.
Electronic Codebook (ECB) Mode
Explanation of the ECB mode in block cipher operation, where each plaintext block is encrypted into a corresponding ciphertext block using the same key for every block.
Introduction to Block Modes of Operation
Explanation of Electronic Codebook (ECB) mode and its lack of flexibility in processing blocks individually. Introduction to Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode and its enhancement in security compared to ECB. Initialization Vector importance in ensuring unique encryption for repetitive messages. Weak encryption method using XOR operation and bit shifting.
Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) Mode
Description of how CBC mode addresses the limitations of ECB by chaining blocks together and XOR operation with Initialization Vector. Enhanced security due to block interdependence in encryption process.
Output Feedback (OFB) Mode
Similar to CBC mode but with the decryption process reversing the encryption. Advantages in speed and data encryption security.
