ISO/IEC 10116 ''Information technology — Security techniques — Modes of operation for an n-bit block cipher'' is an international standard that specifies
modes of operation for
block ciphers of any length.
The modes defined are:
*
Electronic codebook
In cryptography, a block cipher mode of operation is an algorithm that uses a block cipher to provide information security such as confidentiality or authenticity.
A block cipher by itself is only suitable for the secure cryptographic transform ...
(ECB)
*
Cipher block chaining
In cryptography, a block cipher mode of operation is an algorithm that uses a block cipher to provide information security such as confidentiality or authenticity.
A block cipher by itself is only suitable for the secure cryptographic transform ...
(CBC)
*
Cipher feedback (CFB)
*
Output feedback (OFB)
*
Counter (CTR)
The standard notes that some modes require
padding
Padding is thin cushioned material sometimes added to clothes. Padding may also be referred to as batting when used as a layer in lining quilts or as a packaging or stuffing material. When padding is used in clothes, it is often done in an attempt ...
, but states that "Padding techniques ... are not within the scope of this International Standard."
