Cryptology A form of communication which is primarily concerned with the secure transmission (through encryption) of a secretmessage over an insecure channel. Cryptography + Deals with attacks on encrypted intercepted messages to recover the secret message. Cryptanalysis Cryptology =
Example: Ceasar Cipher Hence the number of keys should be large!
Cryptanalysis Kerckhoff’s principle
Block Ciphers:Modes of Use • ECB: Electronic Codebook • CBC: Cipherblock Chaining • CFB: Cipher Feedback • OFB: Output Feedback
Drawback:Block Ciphers – CFB The smaller the block length r, the shorter the ciphertext blocks. This means on the hand that transmission is faster, but on the other hand that the block encryption function must be applied more frequently. The optimal choice of r depends on a tradeoff between transmission and computation speed.
