| C |
Ciphertext block |
| DK() |
Decryption algorithm using encryption/decryption key K |
| EK() |
Encryption algorithm using encryption/decryption key K |
| H() |
Hash function |
| i |
Block index for n-bit blocks; n is context-dependent |
| K |
Cryptographic key |
| ^ |
Bitwise exclusive-OR operation (XOR) |
| ⊕ |
Modulo 2n addition, where n is the bit size of the left-most operand and of the resultant value (e.g., if the left operand is a 1-bit value, and the right operand is a 2-bit value, then: 1 ⊕ 0 = 1; 1 ⊕ 1 = 0; 1 ⊕ 2 = 1; 1 ⊕ 3 = 0;
0 ⊕ 0 = 0; 0 ⊕ 1 = 1; 0 ⊕ 2 = 0; 0 ⊕ 3 = 1) |
| ⊗ |
Modular multiplication of two polynomials over the binary field GF(2) modulo x128+x7+x2+x+1 (GF stands for Galois Field) |
| || |
Concatenation |
