6-1 Flashcards
a modern symetric cipher that is widely used
AES or Advanced Encryption Standard
numeric codes used to represent all standard alphanumeric symbols. there are 255 of them.
ASCII codes
operations on Base 2 (binary) numbers. the operation include XOR, OR, and AND
Binary operations
a well-known symmetric block cipher created by bruce schneier
blowfish
to try to crack a password by simply every possible combination
brute force
one of the oldest encryption algorithms. it uses a basic mono-alphabetic cipher
caesar cipher
the process of un encrypting a encrypted message
decryption
a symmetric cryotograohy algorithim first published in 1877, no longer considered secure du to small key size
DES
a cryptographic method to verify a file or sender
digital signature
a block cipher designed as replacement for des
IDEA ( international Data encryption algorithim
ab encryption cipher using only one substitution method
mono alphabet cipher
a widely used tool that has symetric and asymetric algorithms, often used to encrypt email
pgp / pretty good privacy
a process that uses quantum physics to encrypt data
quantum encryption
a phenomina from quantum physics where 2 subatomic particles are related in such a way that a change to the state of one instantaneously causes change to the state of the other
quantum entanglement
the algorithim used by AES
Rijndael algorithm
