Output Feedback (OFB)

A mode in which the Data Encryption Standard XORs plain text with a seed value. For the first encrypted block, an initialization vector is used to create the seed value. Future seed values are derived by running the DES algorithm on the preceding seed value. The major advantage of OFB mode is that transmission errors do not propagate to affect the decryption of future blocks.

In cryptography, a sequence of symbols that controls encryption and decryption. For some encryption mechanisms (symmetric), the same key is used for both encryption and decryption; for other mechanisms (asymmetric), the keys used for encryption and decryption are different.

A function that returns a true value when only one of the input values is true. If both values are false or both values are true, the output of the XOR function is false. The XOR (exclusiveOR) gate acts in the same way as the logical “either/or. ” The output is “true” if either, but not both, of the inputs is “true. ” The output is “false” if both inputs are “false” or if both inputs are “true. ” Another way of looking at this circuit is to observe that the output is 1 if the inputs are different, but 0 if the inputs are the same. 0
