Chap 2. Basic Encryption and Decryption H. Lee Kwang Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, KAIST Objectives • Concepts of encryption • Cryptanalysis: how encryption systems are “broken” 2.1 Terminology and Background • Notations – S: sender – R: receiver – T: transmission medium – O: outsider, interceptor, intruder, attacker, or, adversary • S wants to send a message to R – S entrusts the message to T who will deliver it to R – Possible actions of O • block(interrupt), intercept, modify, fabricate • Chapter 1 2.1.1 Terminology • Encryption and Decryption – encryption: a process of encoding a message so that its meaning is not obvious – decryption: the reverse process • encode(encipher) vs. decode(decipher) – encoding: the process of translating entire words or phrases to other words or phrases – enciphering: translating letters or symbols individually – encryption: the group term that covers both encoding and enciphering 2.1.1 Terminology • Plaintext vs. Ciphertext – P(plaintext): the original form of a message – C(ciphertext): the encrypted form • Basic operations – plaintext to ciphertext: encryption: C = E(P) – ciphertext to plaintext: decryption: P = D(C) – requirement: P = D(E(P)) 2.1.1 Terminology • Encryption with key If the encryption algorithm
