Does the SHA hash function always generate a fixed length hash? Thanks for that perspective, I hadn't thought to crunch those numbers. Then the $2^{64}$ restriction also seems practically irrelevant. |

Which one of the Block Cipher modes is the best? The confusion was on my part about which CBC attack the OP referenced. I thought it was the attack where an attack can XOR against ciphertext[n-1] to modify plaintext[n], but I was mistaken. Your comment prompted me to re-read the OP, and I've edited my post for clarification. To be clear, it is the attack of XORing against the ciphertext to intelligently modify the plaintext that I was referring to, and that type of attack applies to both CBC and CTR without a MAC. |
