Master Modern Cryptography: Block Ciphers & SPN Techniques Explained 🔐

#cryptology, #cryptography, #cryptanalysis, #lecture, #course, #tutorial

In this video, we show the basics of cryptology (cryptology = cryptography and cryptanalysis).

This particular video shows in detail how modern symmetric substutition permutation networks (SPN), which are block ciphers, are built and work.

First, we discuss in detail the internal workings of SPN ciphers, like S-boxes, P-boxes, and XOR operations and their requirements. After that, we discuss two toy SPN ciphers [1,2] (32bit and 64bit), which are also implemented in CT2.

Then, we show both toy ciphers in CT2 and "play" with its inputs (plaintext, round keys).
