May 28, 2017 at 17:02 comment added user48297 Ah ok so if I have 4 blocks of data(512 bits), it would first encrypt the IV and the key and XOR that output with the plaintext, then it would use the output of that XOR operation as the IV for the next 128 bit block of data? Essentially the last output would be the last block of 128 bits? Am I correct?

May 26, 2017 at 15:57 comment added Ron Bowes It depends on the plaintext length. The plaintext is broken up into blocks (128 bits on AES, 64 bits on DES, etc), and each block of plaintext goes through the process.
May 26, 2017 at 9:46 comment added user48297 Okay so how many cycles is there in CFB mode? In the first figure there is 3 cycles before it outputs the final ciphertext. And also, the Block CIpher Encryption box in that figure, does that represent for example AES and all its operations such as subtypes and mixcolumns?
May 26, 2017 at 5:33 comment added dave_thompson_085 Second is probably the 'bit-shift' or 'partial-block' form of CFB, usually designated with the number of bits like CFB-1 or CFB-8, summarized in wikipedia and detailed in SP800-38a (as cited) and previously in FIPS81 and (TTBOMK originally) FIPS74.
