An encryption method that works with continuous streams of input rather than fixed blocks. Bytes of plaintext go into the stream cipher, and bytes of encrypted text come out the other end. RC4 is an ...

As you likely know, one of the biggees that the newly ratified 802.11i security standard will bring to the wireless LAN table is Advanced Encryption Standard, the U.S. government’s chosen standard ...

A formula used to turn ordinary data, or "plaintext," into a secret coded message known as "ciphertext." The ciphertext can reside in storage or travel over unsecure networks without its contents ...

A proprietary algorithm developed by RSA Data Security, Inc., RC2 is an alternative to DES. The algorithm expands a single message by up to 8 bytes. RC2 is a block cipher that encrypts data in blocks ...

Such high-speed features of VSC come from full-scalable encryption algorithm as described as follows. VECTOR STREAM CIPHER AS FULL-SCALABLE CHAOTIC ENCRYPTION Our VSC is a kind of stream cipher. Thus, ...

The arena of creating secure environments in the hardware and software industries is somewhat shrouded in mystery and misunderstanding. Certainly, some types of ciphers are relatively straightforward ...
