Parent topics
- Cryptanalysis [r]: The sub-field of cryptology which deals with breaking into existing codes and ciphers. [e]
- Information security [r]: The set of policies and protective measures used to ensure appropriate confidentiality, integrity and availability to information; usually assumed to be information in a computer or telecommunications network but the principles extend to people and the physical world [e]
Subtopics
- Code book attack [r]: Attacking a block cipher by creating a code book, collecting plaintext/ciphertext pairs. [e]
- Passive attack [r]: An attack on a communications system in which the attacker reads messages he is not supposed to but does not alter them. [e]
- Active attack [r]: An attack on a communications system in which the attacker creates, alters, replaces, re-routes or blocks messages; this contrasts with a passive attack in which he only reads them. [e]
- Block cipher [r]: A symmetric cipher that operates on fixed-size blocks of plaintext, giving a block of ciphertext for each [e]
- Hashed message authentication code [r]: A technique for authenticating a message using a hash function and a secret key. [e]
- Birthday coincidence [r]: In probability theory, the event that two persons in a group celebrate their birthday on the same day of the year; see birthday paradox. [e]
- Birthday attack [r]: An attack on a cryptographic system that works by finding two identical outputs from the system. [e]
- Cryptographic hash [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Cipher [r]: A means of combining plaintext (of letters or numbers, or bits), using an algorithm that mathematically manipulates the individual elements of plaintext, into ciphertext, a form unintelligible to any recipient that does not know both the algorithm and a randomizing factor called a cryptographic key [e]
- Hash [r]: An algorithm that produces a fixed-size digest from an input of essentially arbitrary size. [e]
- Cryptographic key [r]: Value used by a computer together with a complex algorithm to encrypt and decrypt messages. [e]
