3DES Encryption and Key Concepts

Encryption is the process of encoding information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. It works by transforming plaintext into ciphertext using an encryption algorithm and key. Decryption is the reverse process of taking ciphertext and transforming it back into a readable plaintext format. Encryption has long been used for military and government communications and is now widely used to protect sensitive information and digital rights. While encryption protects confidentiality, other techniques are required to ensure integrity and authenticity of messages.

In cryptography, encryption is the process of transforming information (referred to as plaintext) to make it unreadable to anyone except those possessing special knowledge, usually referred to as a key.

4/28/12

The

result of the process is encrypted information (in cryptography, referred to as cipher text).

In

many contexts, the word encryption also implicitly refers to the reverse process, decryption (e.g. software for encryption can typically also perform decryption), to make the encrypted information readable again (i.e. to make it unencrypted).

4/28/12

Encryption

has long been used by militaries and governments to facilitate secret communication.

4/28/12

Encryption

is now used in protecting information within many kinds of civilian systems, such as computers, networks (e.g. the Internet e-commerce), mobile telephones, and bank automatic teller machines.

Encryption

is also used in digital rights management to restrict the use of copyrighted material and in software copy protection to protect against reverse engineering and software piracy.

4/28/12

Encryption,

by itself, can protect the confidentiality of messages, but other techniques are still needed to verify the integrity and authenticity of a message; for example, a message authentication code (MAC) or digital signatures.

4/28/12

Standards

and cryptographic software and hardware to perform encryption are widely available, but successfully using encryption to ensure security is a challenging problem.

single slip-up in system design or execution can allow successful attacks. Sometimes an adversary can obtain unencrypted information without directly undoing the encryption.
