Symmetric Key Encryption
Flashcards do conjunto (4)
- 1Definition of Symmetric Key EncryptionAn encryption scheme where for each pair (e,d) it is easy to determine d knowing only e and to determine e from d, so in practice e=d
- 2Requirement (Strong encryption algorithm)- The attacker knows the algorithm and has access to one or more cipher texts and still not be able to find the key or plain text.
- Attacker should not be able to decrypt the cipher text or find key, even if in possesion of cipher text and plaintext pairs - 3Requirement(sender/receiver keeps key safe in transmission)If someone can discover the key and knows the algorithm, all communication using this key is readable.
- 4Requirement (Algorithm can be public)- We assume that the cipher text can not be decrypted with knowledge of the alogorthim
- Symmetric key encryption is practical for widespread use (low cost chip of encryption algorithms)
