It depends on the cipher you're using. For AES, the minimum is 128-bit (or 16-bytes) where as the maximum is 256 or 512 (depends on the implementation you're using - AES or Rijndael [from which AES was selected to become the AES standard by the US government]).

Another thing to consider is the block-chaining mode and the hashing algorithm. It's generally recognized that ECB and SHA-1 are no longer secure (but still okay for using as a RNG), while SHA-256 hashes and debatably CBC and XTS.

How many encryption keys are needed to fully implement an asymmetric algorithm for 55 participants?

In an asymmetric encryption algorithm, each participant requires a pair of keys: a public key and a private key. Therefore, for 55 participants, you would need 55 public keys and 55 private keys, resulting in a total of 110 keys. However, since each participant has their own pair, the total number of unique key pairs remains 55.


How can i convert decrypt code into ordinary language?

There is no simple answer to this question. Each encoding or encryption will have an associated decoding/decryption. In order to figure out the original message you need to at least know how it was encoded. If it was encrypted, then you will likely also need additional information such as encryption keys.

Why are all your access points locked on your Nintendo Dsi?

They're likely not 'your' access points, they are other people's. If you don't know their encryption keys, then you are not supposed to be using them - get your own wireless router. If you do have a wireless router, and that appears on the DSi, then you need to enter your own encryption key from your router, to let it access it.


Is there an override for wep keys?

The only way would be to log into your router itself, and disable all security, meaning the DS doesn't need an encryption key. But that's technically unsafe, and you may as well just keep the router using WEP security and enter the encryption key into the DS.


How do you create a enc file?

To create an .enc file, you typically need to use encryption software or a command-line tool that supports file encryption, such as OpenSSL or GnuPG. For example, with OpenSSL, you can use the command openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -salt -in yourfile.txt -out yourfile.enc to encrypt a file named yourfile.txt using AES-256 encryption. Make sure to specify a password when prompted, as this will be required to decrypt the file later. Always ensure you keep your encryption keys or passwords secure.

Two kinds of keys are used in public key encryption?

In public key encryption, two kinds of keys are utilized: the public key and the private key. The public key is shared openly and used to encrypt messages, while the private key is kept secret and used to decrypt those messages. This system ensures that only the intended recipient, who possesses the corresponding private key, can access the encrypted information. This method enhances security by enabling secure communication without the need for sharing a secret key beforehand.
