cryptographic bit stream
1Stream cipher — The operation of the keystream generator in A5/1, a LFSR based stream cipher used to encrypt mobile phone conversations. In cryptography, a stream cipher is a symmetric key cipher where plaintext digits are combined with a pseudorandom cipher… …
2Cryptographic hash function — A cryptographic hash function (specifically, SHA 1) at work. Note that even small changes in the source input (here in the word over ) drastically change the resulting output, by the so called avalanche effect. A cryptographic hash function is a… …
3Bit-flipping attack — A bit flipping attack is an attack on a cryptographic cipher in which the attacker can change the ciphertext in such a way as to result in a predictable change of the plaintext, although the attacker is not able to learn the plaintext itself.… …
4Glossary of cryptographic key types — This glossary lists types of keys as the term is used in cryptography, as opposed to door locks. Terms that are primarily used by the U.S. National Security Agency are marked (NSA). For classification of keys according to their usage see… …

6Cryptanalysis of TIA's Common Cryptographic Algorithms — In 1992, the TR 45 working group within the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) developed a standard for integration of cryptographic technology into tomorrow s digital cellular systems [TIA92] , which has been updated at least once… …
7Hardware random number generator — This SSL Accelerator computer card uses a hardware random number generator to generate cryptographic keys to encrypt data sent over computer networks. In computing, a hardware random number generator is an apparatus that generates random numbers… …
8cryptology — cryptologist, n. cryptologic /krip tl oj ik/, cryptological, adj. /krip tol euh jee/, n. 1. cryptography. 2. the science and study of cryptanalysis and cryptography. [1635 45; < NL cryptologia. See CRYPTO , LOGY] * * * Introduction …
9Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator — A cryptographically secure pseudo random number generator (CSPRNG) is a pseudo random number generator (PRNG) with properties that make it suitable for use in cryptography. Many aspects of cryptography require random numbers, for example: Key… …
10History of cryptography — The history of cryptography begins thousands of years ago. Until recent decades, it has been the story of what might be called classic cryptography that is, of methods of encryption that use pen and paper, or perhaps simple mechanical aids. In… …
