Block cipher

Cryptography is a science or art that protects data and information from unwanted intruders through transforming the information to a format that is unreadable. The people with the required authentication are the only ones can read or return the data to original form. It is a system dependant mainly on the usage of a key and the main basic principle of network security. Cryptography involves plain text, which is the text that someone will type in a form that is understandable to the human. This plain text will then undergo encryption, which is a technique that converts plain text into a form that is not understandable called cipher text. The cipher will then undergo transmission towards the receiving party. A particular encoding method forms the basis for choosing series of numbers or letters that thereafter form a key. This will form the basis for encryption and…

What is Cryptography? When a message is encoded so it becomes unreadable while making sure only the intended receiver is capable of decoding it back into its original form is what we commonly known as Cryptography. It is done by means of an encryption and decryption algorithm (often the same implemented in reverse order) and very often using a secret key. Some of the early cryptographic systems kept the algorithm itself secret and did not use a key (Stallings, 2014). Only when using a secret key…

cryptography uses binary arithmetic because that is what computers use, and cannot be represented in the previous methods of encrypting. The different types of ciphers used in modern cryptography are made for computers, and that is why there is such vast use of them today. Stream ciphers and block ciphers are the two classes of algorithms (Gove 1). “Stream ciphers operate on essentially continuous streams of plain text represented as 1s and 0s, while Block ciphers operate on blocks of plain text…

Weerasinge’s research paper is done based on two measurement criteria under two circumstances: First circumstance: Variable is the input plaintext size (input is given as text files, size is measured in kilobytes) Second circumstance: Variable is the input plaintext length, i.e. input character length (inputs are assumed as passwords) Two measurement criteria: * Secrecy of Ciphers (According to Shannon’s secrecy theorems) * Encryption…

1.1 Overview Cryptography is the science/practice of “writing in secret” (“crypto”= “secret, “graphy” = “writing”). Cryptographic functions are generally defined as algorithms or protocols, rules that govern how data is processed to turn plaintext (unencrypted data) into cipher text (encrypted data) [1]. Cryptography is a method of storing and transmitting data in a form that only those it is intended for can read and process. It is considered a science of protecting information by…

provides the components that are listed above for the network security. The major parts of cryptography explained below: Encryption and Decryption: Encryption is the element of cryptography in which our plain text information converts into the un-readable content by using an algorithm (cipher) before sending the packet across the network and vice versa. Encryption is used in everyday life. It widely used among transactions done over the internet. It’s also used to protect data transferred…

The operation is a simple XOR between each byte of the State and each byte of the sub-key.As initially 11 arrays are formed out of that 1 use for initialization process and from that array key expansion is done. Thus the keys formed total W43 which are used further for next 10 rounds. Each round uses 4 word key along with plaintext/cipher text. V Conclusion This synopsis addresses this issue by assessing the impact of each new transformation as a part of the overall AES system. It has two…

2 DESCRIPTION OF THE USEA 2.1. Data Encryption phase USEA encrypts 512-bit blocks of plaintext to cipher text by a 256-bit main key that from now we call it MK. In default, USEA consists of 20 identical rounds, but we can increase or decrease the rounds for amplification of our algorithm in specific hardware or software implementation. Note that Decreasing rounds of algorithm reduces its security against attacks. USEA uses different algebratic, logic and arithmetic operations for data…

message needs to look innocuous and hence cryptography fails. Steganography comes to the price¬owners, rescue. The prisoners’, with a strong intention of planning an escape, have already exchanged a code word before they were captured. They use this codeword to secretly exchange messages in the process deceiving the warden by hiding the message in plain sight. The codeword lets them embed and extract information. A possible technique would be to use the code word as a position compass for hiding…
