  2. Encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encryption

    The length of the encryption key is an indicator of the strength of the encryption method. [29] For example, the original encryption key, DES (Data Encryption Standard), was 56 bits, meaning it had 2^56 combination possibilities.

    Data Encryption Standard (DES) – 64-bit block; FIPS 46-3, 1976 DEAL – an AES candidate derived from DES DES-X – a variant of DES to increase the key size.

    By whether they work on blocks of symbols usually of a fixed size (block ciphers), or on a continuous stream of symbols (stream ciphers). By whether the same key is used for both encryption and decryption (symmetric key algorithms), or if a different key is used for each (asymmetric key algorithms). If the algorithm is symmetric, the key must ...

    The following example demonstrates the process of encrypting a message using the K2 Aristocrat Cipher, employing the keyword "jumping" and the phrase "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." This particular phrase is often used in cryptographic examples because it is a pangram. This makes it ideal for demonstrating encryption and ...

    In this example, the binary image has been split into two component images. Each component image has a pair of pixels for every pixel in the original image. These pixel pairs are shaded black or white according to the following rule: if the original image pixel was black, the pixel pairs in the component images must be complementary; randomly ...

  8. Key (cryptography) - Wikipedia

    For example, public keys used in the RSA system are the product of two prime numbers. Thus public key systems require longer key lengths than symmetric systems for an equivalent level of security. 3072 bits is the suggested key length for systems based on factoring and integer discrete logarithms which aim to have security equivalent to a 128 ...

    Example cryptogram. When decoded it reads: "Style and structure are the essence of a book; great ideas are hogwash." -Vladimir Nabokov. A cryptogram is a type of puzzle that consists of a short piece of encrypted text. [1] Generally the cipher used to encrypt the text is simple enough that the cryptogram can be solved by hand.
