Cryptography: Modes of Operation

Five modes of operation, called

  1. Electronic Codebook (ECB) – Group 1 & 6
  2. Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) – Group 2, 7 & 11
  3. Cipher Feedback (CFB) – Group 3, 8 & 12
  4. Output Feedback (OFB) – Group 4, 9 & 13
  5. Counter (CTR) – Group – 5 & 10

Each group may execute our CL activity based on modes of operation given.
