Cryptography: Ciphers, Security, and MAC
Miscellaneous: Secret (Symmetric), Public (Asymmetric).
Math:
- XOR (a ⊕ b) is 0 if the values are the same, 1 if they are different. c = (x ⊕ k) is random and independent of the original X.
- Addition: Given x is a binary string of length n, and a is an integer, then (a+x) is the n least significant bits of the binary encoding of adding the values a and x.
- Given n bits, Pr[any one string] = 1/2n.
Classical Ciphers/Principles:
