  2. Chaotic cryptology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaotic_cryptology

    Bourbakis and Alexopoulos [21] in 1991 proposed supposedly the earliest fully intended digital image encryption scheme which was based on SCAN language. Later on, with the emergence of chaos-based cryptography hundreds of new image encryption algorithms, all with the aim of improving the security of digital images were proposed. [9]

  3. Attack model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_model

    In an actual real life case this would require the analyst to have access to the communication channel and the recipient end. Lunchtime attack or midnight attack - In this variant it is assumed the cryptanalyst can only have access to the system for a limited time or a limited number of plaintext-ciphertext pairs, after which he must show ...

  4. Cryptography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptography

    Modern cryptography is heavily based on mathematical theory and computer science practice; cryptographic algorithms are designed around computational hardness assumptions, making such algorithms hard to break in actual practice by any adversary. While it is theoretically possible to break into a well-designed system, it is infeasible in actual ...

  5. Hill cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_cipher

    Hill's cipher machine, from figure 4 of the patent. In classical cryptography, the Hill cipher is a polygraphic substitution cipher based on linear algebra.Invented by Lester S. Hill in 1929, it was the first polygraphic cipher in which it was practical (though barely) to operate on more than three symbols at once.

  6. Encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encryption

    In cryptography, encryption (more specifically, encoding) is the process of transforming information in a way that, ideally, only authorized parties can decode.

  7. Merkle's Puzzles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle's_Puzzles

    In cryptography, Merkle's Puzzles is an early construction for a public-key cryptosystem, a protocol devised by Ralph Merkle in 1974 and published in 1978. It allows two parties to agree on a shared secret by exchanging messages, even if they have no secrets in common beforehand.

  8. Outline of cryptography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_cryptography

    The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to cryptography: Cryptography (or cryptology) – practice and study of hiding information. Modern cryptography intersects the disciplines of mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Applications of cryptography include ATM cards, computer passwords, and electronic ...

  9. Known-plaintext attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Known-plaintext_attack

    The known-plaintext attack (KPA) is an attack model for cryptanalysis where the attacker has access to both the plaintext (called a crib) and its encrypted version ().These can be used to reveal secret keys and code books.
