Encrypting a key with the same key Is fgrieu's premise along the lines of the security situation that you had in mind? As it is, the question does not specify the context of the security you are interested in (as @David pointed out). Could you add some detail or incorporate fgrieu's premise into the question? |

Super-symmetric Stream cipher @Auth: Stream ciphers do not have a concept of "modes". Using your notation, if F(x,k)=y1 and F-1(x,k)=y2 then F and F-1 are different functions and thus not a part of a stream cipher, but rather a stream cipher themselves. You are basically asking "can a stream cipher be two different stream ciphers?" Doesn't make much sense. But you can build different ciphers with similarities (eg, different ways of building one from AES), or you may use different nonce techniques with the same cipher. So you may be able to create a class of stream ciphers that "feel" like different modes of the same thing. |
