Home > Security Definitions - Block cipher ... - A block cipher is a method of encrypting text (to produce ciphertext) in which a cryptographic key and algorithm are applied to a block of data (for example, 64 contiguous bits) at once as a group rather than to one bit at a time.

in a block cipher the message is broken into blocks, each of which is then encrypted (ie like a substitution on very big characters - 64-bits or more) ... the way we use a block cipher is called its Mode of Use and four have been defined for the DES by ANSI in the standard: ANSI X3.106-1983 Modes of Use)

Name of the block cipher ... We are only two researchers and we can use some help to extend this block cipher lounge. Currently we are looking for more information on ``commercial'' encryption algorithms, especially the secret ones. Do you know how, for instance, Stealth works ? We 'd like to.

I'm not sure how anyone would expect to read and understand something entitled "Self Study Course in Block Cipher Cryptanalysis" without some basis in mathematics and algorithms. If you are honestly interested in learning a topic, just start reading until you encounter something you don't understand.
