  2. Mask generation function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mask_generation_function

    Mask generation functions, as generalizations of hash functions, are useful wherever hash functions are. However, use of a MGF is desirable in cases where a fixed-size hash would be inadequate. Examples include generating padding, producing one-time pads or keystreams in symmetric-key encryption, and yielding outputs for pseudorandom number ...

  3. Higher-order programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-order_programming

    Higher-order programming is a style of computer programming that uses software components, like functions, modules or objects, as values. It is usually instantiated with, or borrowed from, models of computation such as lambda calculus which make heavy use of higher-order functions. A programming language can be considered higher-order if ...

  4. Padding (cryptography) - Wikipedia

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

    This padding is the first step of a two-step padding scheme used in many hash functions including MD5 and SHA. In this context, it is specified by RFC1321 step 3.1. This padding scheme is defined by ISO/IEC 9797-1 as Padding Method 2.

  5. SHA-3 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-3

    SHA-3 (Secure Hash Algorithm 3) is the latest [4] member of the Secure Hash Algorithm family of standards, released by NIST on August 5, 2015. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Although part of the same series of standards, SHA-3 is internally different from the MD5 -like structure of SHA-1 and SHA-2 .

  6. Data structure alignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure_alignment

    For example, the padding to add to offset 0x59d for a 4-byte aligned structure is 3. The structure will then start at 0x5a0, which is a multiple of 4. However, when the alignment of offset is already equal to that of align , the second modulo in (align - (offset mod align)) mod align will return zero, therefore the original value is left unchanged.

  7. Filter (higher-order function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter_(higher-order_function)

    Filter is a standard function for many programming languages, e.g., Haskell, [1] OCaml, [2] Standard ML, [3] or Erlang. [4] Common Lisp provides the functions remove-if and remove-if-not. [5] Scheme Requests for Implementation (SRFI) 1 provides an implementation of filter for the language Scheme. [6]

  8. Block cipher mode of operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cipher_mode_of_operation

    SIV synthesizes an internal IV using the pseudorandom function S2V. S2V is a keyed hash based on CMAC, and the input to the function is: Additional authenticated data (zero, one or many AAD fields are supported) Plaintext; Authentication key (K 1). SIV encrypts the S2V output and the plaintext using AES-CTR, keyed with the encryption key (K 2).

  9. Higher-order function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-order_function

    In mathematics and computer science, a higher-order function (HOF) is a function that does at least one of the following: takes one or more functions as arguments (i.e. a procedural parameter, which is a parameter of a procedure that is itself a procedure), returns a function or value as its result. All other functions are first-order functions.
