In Cryptography, a block cipher is a keyed permutation from N-bit blocks to N-bit blocks.
Modes of operation
Electronic Code Book (ECB)
- Use the key with the block cipher to get your N-bit to N-bit permutation.
- Go over the plaintext in blocks, encrypt each block using the raw block cipher.
- There is no IV. With the same key, the same N-bit block always encrypts to the same ciphertext.
