Which one of the following terms describes two numbers that have no common factors?
Nicholas is working at a bank in Germany. He is looking at German standards for pseudo random number generators. He wants a good PRNG for generating symmetric keys. The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has established four criteria for quality of random number generators. Which ones can be used for cryptography?
Which of the following is a substitution cipher used by ancient Hebrew scholars?
Algorithm that was chosen for the Data Encryption Standard, which was altered and renamed Data Encryption Algorithm.
Basic information theory is the basis for modern symmetric ciphers. Understanding the terminology of information theory is, therefore, important. Changes to one character in the plaintext affect multiple characters in the ciphertext. What is this referred to?
A cryptographic hash function which uses a Merkle tree-like structure to allow for immense parallel computation of hashes for very long inputs. Authors claim a performance of 28 cycles per byte for MD6-256 on an Intel Core 2 Duo and provable resistance against differential cryptanalysis.
In order to understand RS
