lzvk25,

Sorry for my ignorance but what are the Encryption "Modes" used for ?

Block cipher modes of operation
"In cryptography, a block cipher operates on blocks of fixed length, often 64 or 128 bits." Modes decide how one block will affect another during encryption. This is for instance necessary for identical blocks of plaintext to be encrypted to different blocks of ciphertext. More advanced uses can certainly be dug up, too.

For strong encryption you can use any mode, but it's important to know, that ECB mode isn't recommended for using in cryptographic software(because identical data blocks are encrypted into identical cipher blocks, it's nice for attacks sometimes)

Thanks for this plugin!
It is very fast!!! tested with Rijndael and Blowfish to encrypt/decrypt file of size 10MB

Now it also includes fast assymetric PGP-type RSA/Rijndael and RSA/Serpent encryption by puplic key and decryption by private one

[alexanderwdark]

18.06.2008 - Now has many RSA - based assymetric cipher methods, also added 3DES (192-bit key by Tiger hash)

[alexanderwdark]

18.06.2008: Supports also assymetric RSA (128-1024 bit) with symmetric 128-bit key length XXTEA (Corrected Block TEA ) - RSA-XXTEA mode (ECB only)

18.06.2008: Supports also new symmetric algorithms:

- SALSA 20 (256 bit)
- Phelix (256 bit)
- ABC 3 (128 bit)
- SEED (128 bit)
- SHACAL-2 (512 bit)

24.01.2008 Added LOKI-97 (Haval-256 hashed key) cipher, based on original sources for AES, slow, compiled with optimization on by Watcom:

Added Camellia (Haval-256 hashed key) cipher, works fast, ECB mode:

Added Camellia-X (Haval-256 hashed key) cipher, works fast, CBC mode:

Added Iraq (RipeMD-160 bit hashed key) cipher, works fast, CBC mode:

25.01.2008 Added Bass-O-Matic (512 bit, CFB, double rounds and permutation tables - 16/16, Sha-512 key hash)

In cryptography, BassOmatic is the symmetric-key cipher designed by Phil Zimmermann as part of his email encryption software, PGP (in the first release, version 1.0).

Added many stream ciphers, some are very fast!

29.01.2008 Added some ciphers, such as Pike, Lucifer-enchanced (128 bit), Redoc3 (256 bit), etc.

If somebody has Ruptor's EnRupt cipher portable C code with NESSIE or E-Stream-like API, please send me, it's nice to add it to DarkCrypt.

Also I need EnRupt code/data/variables/consts decription... It's very nice, fast and tiny cipher.

Also, if You have some nice ciphers (128+ bit key, IV support) code (C, Pascal), send me - and this cipher maybe will be implemented.
