  2. RSA (cryptosystem) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_(cryptosystem)

    The RSA problem is defined as the task of taking e th roots modulo a composite n: recovering a value m such that c ≡ m e (mod n), where (n, e) is an RSA public key, and c is an RSA ciphertext. Currently the most promising approach to solving the RSA problem is to factor the modulus n .

  3. Padding oracle attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padding_oracle_attack

    To generate a ciphertext that is N blocks long, attacker must perform N numbers of padding oracle attacks. These attacks are chained together so that proper plaintext is constructed in reverse order, from end of message (C N) to beginning message (C 0, IV). In each step, padding oracle attack is used to construct the IV to the previous chosen ...

  4. Ciphertext - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciphertext

    In cryptography, ciphertext or cyphertext is the result of encryption performed on plaintext using an algorithm, called a cipher. [1] Ciphertext is also known as encrypted or encoded information because it contains a form of the original plaintext that is unreadable by a human or computer without the proper cipher to decrypt it.

  5. Coppersmith's attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coppersmith's_attack

    Coppersmith's attack describes a class of cryptographic attacks on the public-key cryptosystem RSA based on the Coppersmith method. Particular applications of the Coppersmith method for attacking RSA include cases when the public exponent e is small or when partial knowledge of a prime factor of the secret key is available.

  6. Deterministic encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deterministic_encryption

    Deterministic encryption can leak information to an eavesdropper, who may recognize known ciphertexts. For example, when an adversary learns that a given ciphertext corresponds to some interesting message, they can learn something every time that ciphertext is transmitted.

  7. Known-plaintext attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Known-plaintext_attack

    The idea behind a crib is that cryptologists were looking at incomprehensible ciphertext, but if they had a clue about some word or phrase that might be expected to be in the ciphertext, they would have a "wedge," a test to break into it. If their otherwise random attacks on the cipher managed to sometimes produce those words or (preferably ...

  8. Optimal asymmetric encryption padding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_asymmetric...

    In cryptography, Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding (OAEP) is a padding scheme often used together with RSA encryption.OAEP was introduced by Bellare and Rogaway, [1] and subsequently standardized in PKCS#1 v2 and RFC 2437.

  9. Multiple encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_encryption

    First layer of the encryption: The ciphertext of the original readable message is hashed, and subsequently the symmetric keys are encrypted via the asymmetric key - e.g. deploying the algorithm RSA. In an intermediate step the ciphertext, and the hash digest of the ciphertext are combined into a capsule, and packed together.
