long key cipher
41Cryptanalysis of the Enigma — enabled the western Allies in World War II to read substantial amounts of secret Morse coded radio communications of the Axis powers that had been enciphered using Enigma machines. This yielded military intelligence which, along with that from… …
42Cryptography — Secret code redirects here. For the Aya Kamiki album, see Secret Code. Symmetric key cryptography, where the same key is used both for encryption and decryption …
43One-way compression function — In cryptography, a one way compression function is a function that transforms two fixed length inputs to an output of the same size as one of the inputs. The transformation is one way , meaning that it is difficult given a particular output to… …
44RC4 — In cryptography, RC4 (also known as ARC4 or ARCFOUR meaning Alleged RC4, see below) is the most widely used software stream cipher and is used in popular protocols such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) (to protect Internet traffic) and WEP (to… …
45XXTEA — Corrected Block TEA (XXTEA) One round of XXTEA General Designers David Wheeler, Roger Needham First published October 1998 Derived from …
46Cryptographic 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… …
47Marian Rejewski — (probably 1932, the year he first solved the Enigma machine). Courtesy of Janina Sylwestrzak, Rejewski s daughter. Born Marian Adam Rejewski August 16, 1905(1905 0 …
48Ciphertext stealing — In cryptography, ciphertext stealing (CTS) is a general method of using a block cipher mode of operation that allows for processing of messages that are not evenly divisible into blocks without resulting in any expansion of the ciphertext, at the …
49Code-O-Graph — The Code O Graph is a field cipher device and identifier from the Captain Midnight radio serial. In the story line they were used by agents of the Secret Squadron, a paramilitary organization headed by Captain Midnight. In addition to their use… …
50Format-preserving encryption — In cryptography, format preserving encryption (FPE) refers to encrypting in such a way that the output (the ciphertext) is in the same format as the input (the plaintext). The meaning of format varies. Typically only finite domains are discussed …
