Link to this headingBlock Ciphers
- Block ciphers are algorithms that encrypt fixed length blocks.
Using the encryption functionEthat takes plaintext blocksPas input and outputs ciphertext blocksCusing a secret keyk:
C = Een(k, P )
This is called Symmetric-key Encryption or secret-key encryption. As the same key is used for encryption and decryption.
- Each Block will be mapped to another block.
- Taking this many time you get a encryption permutation rings.
- Different Keys will have a different permutation rings
