# Tags

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Using the right tags makes it easier for others to find and answer your question.

 Type to find tags:
 2nd-preimage-resistance× 29 Difficulty of finding another input string that hashes to the same value as a given string 3des× 54 A block cypher encryption algorithm built from applying three iterations of the original DES algorithm. abe× 37 a type of public-key encryption in which the key used for encryption is based on selected attributes of the readers. Decryption of the ciphertext is possible only if the … access-control× 6 a possible goal of cryptography, where the idea is to restrict access to documents, equipment, locations, or keys to individuals who are authorized such access. accumulators× 15 a one way membership function. It answers a query as to whether a potential candidate is a member of a set without revealing the individual members of the set. acoustic-cryptanalysis a type of side channel attack which exploits sounds emitted by computers or machines. adversarial-model× 12 An adversary model formally defines the power of the adversary. It includes specifics whether the adversary is deterministic/randomized, uniform/non-uniform, interactive/non-interactive and how he int… aes× 839 a symmetrical block-cipher algorithm with a 128-bit block size, and key sizes of 128, 192 or 256 bits. affine-cipher× 12 algebraic-attack× 17 a method of cryptanalysis against a cipher 1)expressing the cipher operations as a system of equations. 2)substituting in known data for some of the variables. 3)sol… algebraic-eraser a relatively new asymmetric key agreement protocol (also designated the Colored Burau Key Agreement Protocol), based on a simultaneous conjugacy search problem in a braid group. algorithm-design× 345 Design of cryptographic primitives (algorithms), like block ciphers, stream ciphers, random-number generators, hash functions, MACs, key exchanges, public-key encryption or signature schemes. Also tag… alternating-step× 4 a cryptographic pseudorandom number generator intended to be used in a stream cipher. anonymity× 28 Anonymity describes the state of being unknown or unacknowledged. argon2 arithmetic× 12 a branch of mathematics usually concerned with the four operations (adding, subtracting, multiplication and division) of positive numbers. arx× 4 Design philosophy for ciphers. ARX solely relies on additions, rotations and XORs to build ciphers and similar algorithms. This usually constructs ciphers that are highly resistant against side-channe… asn.1× 13 a language that defines the way data is sent across dissimilar communication systems. asymmetric attack× 88 A cryptographic attack tries to theoretically and/or practically attack the security properties of a cipher and/or algorithm. attribute-based-encry attributebasedencrypt attribute-encryption authenticated-encryption× 194 Combination of encryption and authentication in a way that ensures confidentiality and integrity. authentication× 297 successfully validating that an entity you are communicating with is actually who they claim to be. The entity typically demonstrates who they are by showing they possess a secret th… avalanche× 12 evident if, when an input is changed slightly (for example, flipping a single bit) the output changes significantly (e.g., half the output bits flip). backdoors× 23 A backdoor in a cryptosystem or algorithm allows someone to obtain access to the decrypted data, without the need for the key/password that was used to encrypt the data. bcrypt× 46 an intentionally slow hash algorithm specially designed for passwords. biclique-attack× 3 bijection× 5 a function $f$ from a set $X$ to a set $Y$ with the property that, for every $y$ in $Y$, there is exactly one $x$ in $X$ such that $f(x) = y$. It follows from … birthday-attack× 24 a cryptanalytic technique. Birthday attacks can be used to find collisions in a cryptographic hash function. For instance, suppose we have a hash function which, when supplied wit… bitcoin× 32 a digital peer-to-peer currency with no central authority. It was created in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto. Transactions are managed entirely by the network. bitslicing blake2× 7 a cryptographic hash function. It was designed for the SHA-3 competition where it became a finalist, but wasn't chosen as SHA-3. blinding× 12 Technique mainly employed for factorization based cryptosystems to hide information. Usually blinding involves using a multiplicative homomorphic property of the cipher, it may be used to realize blin… blind-signature× 26 In a blind signature scheme, the signer does not know what he is signing. This is an important building block of anonymous voting or digital cash schemes, because it allows an authority to control the…
