Dec 1, 2017 at 13:53 comment added Alonso i have read the wiki description, but i still don't understand, if i use a corrupted Ci* during the encryption i will get a Ci+1 instead of a Ci+1, but when i decrypt them shouldnt i get the same Pi+1? Or perhaps because of the miss calculation of Ci all the later blocks will be garbled during the decryption, because the IV lost it's meaning in the process? F.Y.I i appreciate the patience
Dec 1, 2017 at 13:29 comment added Ilmari Karonen It sounds like you've probably misunderstood something very fundamental about how CBC mode works. Are you studying crypto from a textbook, or just from random online sources? Have you read the Wikipedia description? Or this thread here on crypto.SE?
Dec 1, 2017 at 11:21 comment added Alonso In my opinion only C3 will decrypt uncorrectly because during the encryption all the later to C3 blocks will be encrypted using C3 so it dosent really matter if something happend to C3. During the decryption all the other blocks will give me the correct plain text
Dec 1, 2017 at 10:24 comment added Ilmari Karonen OK, so which blocks do you think that's not the case for?
Dec 1, 2017 at 9:53 comment added Alonso By feedback i mean that in order to encrypt Pi i have to use Ci-1.

Dec 1, 2017 at 9:30 comment added Ilmari Karonen What exactly do you mean by "the feedback stage"? AFAIK, there is no "feedback stage" in CBC mode that some blocks would not be involved in. Well, except for the trivial fact that the last block obviously has no following block to chain it with.
