Abstract
Section 3.1 presents some classical ciphers for which both plaintext and cipher-text are characters or strings of characters. Section 3.2 covers the theory of modern cryptosystems and describes two early ciphers: Lucifer and DES. Section 3.3 presents five private-key block ciphers: FEAL, IDEA, RC6, Rijndael, and Serpent, of which the last three took part in the recent AES competition. The Rijndael algorithm won this and is currently proposed as the encryption standard. Section 3.4 and 3.5 introduce differential and linear cryptanalysis, respectively. Finally, Sect. 3.6 studies the principles of secure S-box design.
