  2. Authenticated encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authenticated_encryption

    Authenticated Encryption (AE) is an encryption scheme which simultaneously assures the data confidentiality (also known as privacy: the encrypted message is impossible to understand without the knowledge of a secret key [1]) and authenticity (in other words, it is unforgeable: [2] the encrypted message includes an authentication tag that the sender can calculate only while possessing the ...

  3. Off-the-record messaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-the-record_messaging

    In addition to authentication and encryption, OTR provides forward secrecy and malleable encryption. The primary motivation behind the protocol was providing deniable authentication for the conversation participants while keeping conversations confidential, like a private conversation in real life, or off the record in journalism sourcing. This ...

  4. List of telecommunications encryption terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_telecommunications...

    This is a list of telecommunications encryption terms. This list is derived in part from the Glossary of Telecommunication Terms published as Federal Standard 1037C . A5/1 – a stream cipher used to provide over-the-air communication privacy in the GSM cellular telephone standard.

  5. Message authentication code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_authentication_code

    Formally, a message authentication code (MAC) system is a triple of efficient [4] algorithms (G, S, V) satisfying: G (key-generator) gives the key k on input 1 n , where n is the security parameter.

  6. Message authentication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_authentication

    Message authentication is typically achieved by using message authentication codes (MACs), authenticated encryption (AE), or digital signatures. [2] The message authentication code, also known as digital authenticator, is used as an integrity check based on a secret key shared by two parties to authenticate information transmitted between them. [4]

  7. Cryptographic Message Syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_Message_Syntax

    The Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) is the IETF's standard for cryptographically protected messages. It can be used by cryptographic schemes and protocols to digitally sign, digest, authenticate or encrypt any form of digital data.

  8. ChaCha20-Poly1305 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChaCha20-Poly1305

    ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an authenticated encryption with associated data (AEAD) algorithm, that combines the ChaCha20 stream cipher with the Poly1305 message authentication code. [1] It has fast software performance, and without hardware acceleration, is usually faster than AES-GCM .

  9. Shared secret - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_secret

    In cryptography, a shared secret is a piece of data, known only to the parties involved, in a secure communication. This usually refers to the key of a symmetric cryptosystem . The shared secret can be a PIN code , a password , a passphrase , a big number, or an array of randomly chosen bytes.
