  2. One-time pad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_pad

    In cryptography, the one-time pad (OTP) is an encryption technique that cannot be cracked, but requires the use of a single-use pre-shared key that is larger than or equal to the size of the message being sent. In this technique, a plaintext is paired with a random secret key (also referred to as a one-time pad).

  3. 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.

  5. Confusion and diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confusion_and_diffusion

    Although ciphers can be confusion-only (substitution cipher, one-time pad) or diffusion-only (transposition cipher), any "reasonable" block cipher uses both confusion and diffusion. [2] These concepts are also important in the design of cryptographic hash functions , and pseudorandom number generators , where decorrelation of the generated ...

    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.

  7. XOR cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher

    With a key that is truly random, the result is a one-time pad, which is unbreakable in theory. The XOR operator in any of these ciphers is vulnerable to a known-plaintext attack, since plaintext ciphertext = key. It is also trivial to flip arbitrary bits in the decrypted plaintext by manipulating the ciphertext.

  8. Gilbert Vernam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_Vernam

    Gilbert Sandford Vernam (April 3, 1890 – February 7, 1960) was a Worcester Polytechnic Institute 1914 graduate and AT&T Bell Labs engineer who, in 1917, invented an additive polyalphabetic stream cipher and later co-invented an automated one-time pad cipher.

  9. Poem code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poem_code

    The poem code was ultimately replaced with the one-time pad, specifically the letter one-time pad (LOP). In LOP, the agent was provided with a string of letters and a substitution square. The plaintext was written under the string on the pad. The pairs of letters in each column (such as P and L) indicated a unique letter on the square (Q).
