Extensive ciphertext feedback

摘要

Some embodiments of a method and apparatus for encrypting and decrypting data have been presented. In one embodiment, a stream cipher is run in parallel with a block cipher to output a stream of bits with a length equal to a number of ciphertext blocks in an output stream of the block cipher. The method may further include pre-processing a current plaintext block based on the stream of bits and the number of ciphertext blocks in the output stream of the block cipher. Then the block cipher may encipher the pre-processed block to generate a current ciphertext block.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
generating, by a stream cipher executable by a processing device, a stream of bits with a length equal to a number of ciphertext blocks in an output stream of a block cipher; processing, by an encipherer executable by the processing device, a current plaintext block in view of the stream of bits and the number of ciphertext blocks in the output stream of the block cipher; and enciphering, by the block cipher executable by the processing device, a result of the processing to generate a current ciphertext block.
