Residual block termination
In cryptography, residual block termination is a variation of cipher block chaining mode (CBC) that does not require any padding. It does this by effectively changing to cipher feedback mode for one block. The cost is the increased complexity.
Encryption procedure
If the plaintext length N is not a multiple of the block size L:
- Encrypt the ⌊N/L⌋ full blocks of plaintext using the cipher block chaining mode;
- Encrypt the last full encrypted block again;
- XOR the remaining bits of the plaintext with leftmost bits of the re-encrypted block.
Decryption procedure
Short message
For messages shorter than one block, residual block termination can use an encrypted IV instead of the previously encrypted block.
gollark: **The most gollarious response:**- pretending things- pretending there's some horrible name for it- implying it's badness- If they're profitable, you'll get some shit from people on the internet- blahblatantly passing it away- no sense.
gollark: I'm not sure what happens with that.
gollark: It really likes holoapioforms.
gollark: **The most gollarious response**:- make a cryoapiary-sized stack-???-???<|endoftext|>You can also do a dyson *with* a holoapiary, actually.<|endoftext|>Idea: a holoapiary-like hologram projector, which is capable of holoapioform-proofed.<|endoftext|>We should make a holoapiary-based AI.<|endoftext|>I think the holoapioapioform control system is a holoapiary, so it's not hard.<|endoftext|>https://i.redd.it/qfxjh21.jpgI don't think anyone was doing that, though.<|endoftext|>Also, it's actually a holoapioform.<|endoftext|>The holoapioform control system is a holoapiary, not a holoapiary.<|endoftext|>Well, not a holoapiary, how'd it work?<|endoftext|>I doubt it's a holoapiary, so I can't see them.<|end
gollark: I mean, I *can*, I just don't.
