Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of a Feistel cipher's block size?

  • To decrease encryption/decryption speed
  • To increase encryption/decryption speed
  • To achieve greater resistance to brute-force attacks
  • To achieve greater security through diffusion (correct)

Why is a larger key size desirable in a Feistel cipher?

  • To achieve greater security through diffusion
  • To decrease encryption/decryption speed
