Study Notes
AES Encryption
- The block size for all AES ciphers is 128 bits.
AES Encryption Rounds
- There are 12 rounds for 192-bit keys in AES encryption.
AES Cipher Type
- AES is a type of symmetric key block cipher.
Replacement of Encryption Standard
- AES replaced the Data Encryption Standard (DES) as the encryption standard.
ShiftRows Transformation
- The ShiftRows step in AES encryption involves a circular byte shift transformation.
Symmetric Key Encryption
- Another name for symmetric key encryption is private key encryption.
Symmetric Encryption Method
- Symmetric encryption requires both the sender and receiver to use the same key for encryption and decryption.
Limitation of Symmetric Encryption
- The main limitation or problem with symmetric encryption is the difficulty of securely exchanging and managing the secret key.
Preserving Key Security
- Secure key exchange and distribution protocols are used to preserve the security of the key in symmetric cryptosystems.
Combination with Public Key Cryptosystems
- Symmetric encryption methods are still in use in combination with public key cryptosystems due to their advantage of fast encryption and decryption speeds.
