unusual facts about decryption

3-Way

3-Way is designed to be very efficient in a wide range of platforms from 8-bit processors to specialized hardware, and has some elegant mathematical features which enable nearly all the decryption to be done in exactly the same circuits as did the encryption.

AACS encryption key controversy

On December 26, 2006, a person using the alias muslix64 published a utility named BackupHDDVD and its source code on the DVD decryption forum at the website Doom9.

F. W. Winterbotham

There had been mentions of Enigma decryption in earlier books by Władysław Kozaczuk, Ladislas Farago, and Gustave Bertrand.

Janusz Różycki

He is the son of Jerzy Różycki, one of the three Polish mathematicians who worked on Enigma decryption from December 1932 through at least the Phoney War (1940).

Lacida

From spring 1941, an LCD was used by the Polish Team Z at the Polish-, Spanish- and French-manned Cadix radio-intelligence and decryption center at Uzès, near France's Mediterranean coast.

Microsoft Excel

The situation changed fundamentally in Excel 2007, where the modern AES algorithm with a key of 128 bits started being used for decryption, and a 50,000-fold use of the hash function SHA1 reduced the speed of brute-force attacks down to hundreds of passwords per second.

Semantic security

Unlike other security definitions, semantic security does not consider the case of chosen ciphertext attack (CCA), where an attacker is able to request the decryption of chosen ciphertexts, and many semantically secure encryption schemes are demonstrably insecure against chosen ciphertext attack.

Side channel attack

In the case of RSA decryption with secret exponent d and corresponding encryption exponent e and modulus m, the technique applies as follows (for simplicity, the modular reduction by m is omitted in the formulas): before decrypting; that is, before computing the result of y^d for a given ciphertext y, the system picks a random number r and encrypts it with public exponent e to obtain r^e.
