  2. One-time pad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_pad

    The one-time pad is an example of post-quantum cryptography, because perfect secrecy is a definition of security that does not depend on the computational resources of the adversary. Consequently, an adversary with a quantum computer would still not be able to gain any more information about a message encrypted with a one time pad than an ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_password

    MasterCard SecureCode uses OTAC to confirm a user's identity One time authorization code as used in Yammer's desktop client. A one-time password (OTP), also known as a one-time PIN, one-time passcode, one-time authorization code (OTAC) or dynamic password, is a password that is valid for only one login session or transaction, on a computer system or other digital device.

  4. Time-based one-time password - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-Time_Password

    Time-based one-time password (TOTP) is a computer algorithm that generates a one-time password (OTP) using the current time as a source of uniqueness. As an extension of the HMAC-based one-time password algorithm (HOTP), it has been adopted as Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard RFC 6238 .

  5. Stream cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_cipher

    Stream ciphers can be viewed as approximating the action of a proven unbreakable cipher, the one-time pad (OTP). A one-time pad uses a keystream of completely random digits. The keystream is combined with the plaintext digits one at a time to form the ciphertext. This system was proven to be secure by Claude E. Shannon in 1949. [1]

    master key encryption key (MKEK) - Used to encrypt multiple KEK keys. For example, an HSM can generate several KEK and wrap them with an MKEK before export to an external DB - such as OpenStack Barbican. [1] A sample NSA one-time pad. one time pad (OTP or OTPad) - keying material that should be as long as the plaintext and should only be used ...

  7. Message authentication code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_authentication_code

    This can be seen as the one-time pad for authentication. [10] The simplest such pairwise independent hash function is defined by the random key, key = (a, b), and the MAC tag for a message m is computed as tag = (am + b) mod p, where p is prime.

  8. Substitution cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitution_cipher

    The one-time pad is, in most cases, impractical as it requires that the key material be as long as the plaintext, actually random, used once and only once, and kept entirely secret from all except the sender and intended receiver. When these conditions are violated, even marginally, the one-time pad is no longer unbreakable.

  9. Cryptography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptography

    Most ciphers, apart from the one-time pad, can be broken with enough computational effort by brute force attack, but the amount of effort needed may be exponentially dependent on the key size, as compared to the effort needed to make use of the cipher. In such cases, effective security could be achieved if it is proven that the effort required ...
