  2. McEliece cryptosystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McEliece_cryptosystem

    The attacker knows ^, the generator matrix of an (,) code ^ that is combinatorially able to correct errors. The attacker may ignore the fact that C ^ {\displaystyle {\hat {C}}} is really the obfuscation of a structured code chosen from a specific family, and instead just use an algorithm for decoding with any linear code.

  3. Cryptographic primitive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_primitive

    Symmetric key cryptography—compute a ciphertext decodable with the same key used to encode (e.g., AES) Public-key cryptography—compute a ciphertext decodable with a different key used to encode (e.g., RSA) Digital signatures—confirm the author of a message; Mix network—pool communications from many users to anonymize what came from whom

  4. Correlation attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_attack

    This means the Geffe generator is a very weak generator and should never be used to generate stream cipher keystreams. Note from the table above that agrees with the generator output 4 times out of 8—a 50% correlation. We cannot use this to brute force LFSR-1 independently of the others: the correct key will yield output that agrees with the ...

  5. Keystream - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystream

    In cryptography, a keystream is a stream of random or pseudorandom characters that are combined with a plaintext message to produce an encrypted message (the ciphertext).. The "characters" in the keystream can be bits, bytes, numbers or actual characters like A-Z depending on the usage case.

  6. Substitution cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitution_cipher

    In cryptography, a substitution cipher is a method of encrypting in which units of plaintext are replaced with the ciphertext, in a defined manner, with the help of a key; the "units" may be single letters (the most common), pairs of letters, triplets of letters, mixtures of the above, and so forth. The receiver deciphers the text by performing ...

  7. Blum–Goldwasser cryptosystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blum–Goldwasser_cryptosystem

    The encryption algorithm implements an XOR-based stream cipher using the Blum-Blum-Shub (BBS) pseudo-random number generator to generate the keystream. Decryption is accomplished by manipulating the final state of the BBS generator using the private key , in order to find the initial seed and reconstruct the keystream.

  8. Yarrow algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarrow_algorithm

    The Yarrow algorithm is a family of cryptographic pseudorandom number generators (CSPRNG) devised by John Kelsey, Bruce Schneier, and Niels Ferguson and published in 1999. . The Yarrow algorithm is explicitly unpatented, royalty-free, and open source; no license is required to use

  9. Brute-force attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_attack

    Certain types of encryption, by their mathematical properties, cannot be defeated by brute-force. An example of this is one-time pad cryptography, where every cleartext bit has a corresponding key from a truly random sequence of key bits. A 140 character one-time-pad-encoded string subjected to a brute-force attack would eventually reveal every ...
