Conclusions block ciphers may provide excellent cryptographic properties, but for practical application they need modes of operation such modes of operation may be used both for confidentiality and integrity there are many different modes of operation for specific purposes, including network traffic protection, hard drive encryption, etc. In cryptography, a block cipher mode of operation is an algorithm that uses a block cipher to provide information security such as confidentiality or authenticity.
In this chapter, we will discuss the different modes of operation of a block cipher.

Introduction pseudorandom permutations block ciphers modes of operation cipher block chaining cbc mode cipher block chaining. They are generally used in modes of operation similar to the block modes described here. Block ciphers operate on blocks of plaintext one at a time to produce blocks of ciphertext. Modern block ciphers typically use a block length of 128 bits or more examples of block ciphers include des, aes, rc6, and idea a block cipher breaks message into fixed sized blocks takes one block plaintext at a time and transform it into another block of the same length using a user provided secret key decryption is. Block cipher modes of operation and stream ciphers ppt video. Repeating the round increases the complexity of the dependency relations among the user key bits and the bits of the cipher state g. There are several schemes which use a block cipher to build a cryptographic hash function. Download ppt block cipher modes of operation and stream ciphers. A prominent example is the standardized block cipher aes, which has a 128bit block size. Used with an underlying block cipher algorithm that is approved in a federal information processing standard fips, these modes. The modes of operation act on top of block ciphers and allow the encryption of arbitrary length messages and also provide the probabilistic encryption necessary for the system to be secure. These are procedural rules for a generic block cipher.
As with all protocols, to be cryptographically secure, care must be taken to design these modes of operation correctly. Most popular and prominent block ciphers are listed below. Iv all these modes except ecb require an initialization vector, or iv a sort of dummy block to kick off the process for the first real block, and also to provide some randomization for the process. A block cipher is a symmetric cryptographic algorithm that operates on a fixedsize block of data using a shared, secret key. Introduction to block ciphers a block cipher algorithm. The block of plaintext and the block of ciphertext are assumed to be of the same size, e. To encrypt files of various lengths we need to divide a file into blocks of that given fixed length then the block cipher works on each block separately. Output feedback mode ofb, a keyautokey stream cipher kak cipher feedback mode cfb, a ciphertextautokey stream cipher ctak in both cases encryption is obtained by xoring a keystream with the plaintext. To encrypt longer or shorter bit sequences the sender must 1. A mode of operation describes how to repeatedly apply a cipher s. Block cipher modes of operation and cmac for authentication.
