A cipher or mode of operation is said to be malleable if it is feasible to modify ciphertext to produce meaningful changes in the corresponding plaintext without knowing the encryption key.

Making a cipher non-malleable using a plaintext transform?

The function does absolutely nothing except add non-malleability to the plaintext and thus ciphertext. It works before ANY cipher, and not with. … It is now quicker than ChaCha and achieves non-malleability at 512 bytes of input, without any bias (within limits of my testing). It adds a nonce on encoding that it removes on decoding. …

Making a cipher non-malleable using a plaintext transform?

under chosen plaintext attack As using OAEP as an all-or-nothing transform would require processing in blocks (with padding) and potentially some extra tweaking to design it for the purposes of non-malleability … Finally, it is not necessarily be the case that using such a transform function would only provide the benefit of non-malleability. …
