Study Notes
- The lesson is about Symmetric Encryption, specifically Stream Ciphers and the Simplified DES algorithm.
- Stream Ciphers and Block Ciphers are two main types of encryption, Stream Ciphers encrypt bits individually, and Block Ciphers encrypt full blocks of bits.
- Stream Ciphers have simple encryption and decryption functions, which consist of additions modulo 2(XOR).
- Security for Stream Ciphers depends entirely on the key stream si, and it must be reproducible by both sender and receiver.
- Two main types of Stream Ciphers are Synchronous and Asynchronous. Synchronous Stream Cipher has a random key stream, while Asynchronous Stream Cipher depends on the ciphertext.
- Simplified DES is a symmetric encryption algorithm, with an 8-bit input(plaintext), 8-bit output(ciphertext), and a 10-bit key.
- Simplified DES has two rounds, and each round uses permutations and left shifts to generate round keys.
- The S-Box is a significant component of DES, used for substitutions. It functions as a matrix, and its output depends on the input's first and last bits.
- Simplified DES key generation uses specific permutations (P10 and P8) and the First and Final Permutations to encrypt and decrypt the data.
- The first permutation, Initial Permutation, mixes up the input's 8 bits.
- Simplified DES encryption includes the Initial Permutation, Round Function, and Switch Halves.
- Simplified DES decryption is similar to encryption, except it uses round keys in the opposite order.
