Block Cipher Modes

← Back to Symmetric Encryption

Modes of operation that define how a block cipher encrypts data larger than one block. CBC (Cipher Block Chaining), CTR (Counter Mode), and GCM (Galois/Counter Mode, which provides authenticated encryption). GCM is preferred as it provides both encryption and integrity.

Key Properties

• CBC Mode
• CTR Mode
• GCM Authenticated Encryption
