  2. Magic Lantern (spyware) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Lantern_(spyware)

    The FBI intends to deploy Magic Lantern in the form of an e-mail attachment. When the attachment is opened, it installs a trojan horse on the suspect's computer. The trojan horse is activated when the suspect uses PGP encryption, often used to increase the security of sent e-mail messages. When activated, the trojan horse will log the PGP ...

    Ron Rivest used pi to generate the S-box of the MD2 hash. [4]Ron Rivest used the trigonometric sine function to generate constants for the widely used MD5 hash. [5]The U.S. National Security Agency used the square roots of the first eight prime integers to produce the hash constants in their "Secure Hash Algorithm" functions, SHA-1 and SHA-2. [6]

  4. Format-preserving encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Format-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 sets of characters are used; numeric, alphabetic or alphanumeric. For example:

  5. Learning with errors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_with_errors

    In cryptography, learning with errors (LWE) is a mathematical problem that is widely used to create secure encryption algorithms. [1] It is based on the idea of representing secret information as a set of equations with errors.

  6. Whirlpool (hash function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whirlpool_(hash_function)

    Whirlpool is a Miyaguchi-Preneel construction based on a substantially modified Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Whirlpool takes a message of any length less than 2 256 bits and returns a 512-bit message digest. [3] The authors have declared that "WHIRLPOOL is not (and will never be) patented. It may be used free of charge for any purpose." [2]

  8. BLAKE (hash function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLAKE_(hash_function)

    BLAKE was submitted to the NIST hash function competition by Jean-Philippe Aumasson, Luca Henzen, Willi Meier, and Raphael C.-W. Phan. In 2008, there were 51 entries. BLAKE made it to the final round consisting of five candidates but lost to Keccak in 2012, which was selected for the SHA-3 algorithm.

  9. Round (cryptography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_(cryptography)

    For example, encryption using an oversimplified three-round cipher can be written as = ((())), where C is the ciphertext and P is the plaintext. Typically, rounds R 1 , R 2 , . . . {\displaystyle R_{1},R_{2},...} are implemented using the same function, parameterized by the round constant and, for block ciphers , the round key from the key ...
