Encryption Algorithms

The following table explains encryption algorithms. The Digital Encryption Standard (DES) is a 64-bit block algorithm that uses a 56-bit key. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a private key algorithm supporting key lengths from 128 to 256 bits and variable-length blocks of data.

Algorithm

Description

AES 128 CBC

A 128-bit block Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) algorithm that uses a 128-bit key.

AES 192 CBC

A 192-bit block Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) algorithm that uses a 192-bit key.

AES 256 CBC

A 256-bit block Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) algorithm that uses a 256-bit key.

DES EDE3 CBC

Triple-DES, in which plain text is encrypted three times by three keys.

BF-CBC

A 64-bit block keyed, symmetric Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) algorithm by Blowfish.
