Computer science encryption Problem. Please answer A and B.

  1. ) Consider any block cipher (such as S-DES, but not specifically) that operates on a block size of 8 bits, producing a ciphertext that is also 8 bits long.
    1. In this scenario, how many different ciphertexts are possible?

b. How many different 8-bit block ciphers can there be in total?

Answer #1

a. 8 bit ciphertexts would be there

b.8 bit-block ciphers would be there

The reason is that the algorithms producing ideal block cipher are secure but have to be compelled to build some (mathematical) assumption regarding the block cipher in.Normally, the idea goes one thing like this: "If the cryptography secret's chosen randomly, then an assaulter who doesn't recognize the key cannot distinguish between the block cipher and a very random permutation, even employing a chosen-plain text attack."This is an off-the-cuff statement of the pseudo-random permutation [PRP] assumption.
