Yes, always. Some programs automatically choose the cipher for you so you don't always have to make a decision but a cipher is always used.

Is a cipher required to encrypt a message?

Yes. There are many ciphers but any time information is encrypted, some cipher must be used.


What does ciphered mean?

In cryptography a cipher is a code used to encrypt or decrypt a coded message. The cipher is the "key" that unlocks the message. So a message (or computer file) that has been encryption coded has been ciphered and must be decoded (deciphered) before it can be read.


Algorithm for hill cipher?

Hill Cipher is a cryptographic algorithm to encrypt and decrypt an alphabetic text. In this cipher, each letter is represented by a number (eg. A = 0, B = 1, C = 2). To encrypt a message, each block of n letters (considered as an n -component vector) is multiplied by an invertible n × n matrix, against modulus 26.

Which key is used to encrypt data in an asymmetric encryption system?

This answer depends on who is sending the information in a secure manner. If confidentiality is required, then the public key of the receiver is used to encrypt the message. If integrity is desired then your private key would be used to encrypt the message.

How does the beale cipher work?

The Beale cipher is a form of book cipher where a key document, such as an existing book, is used to encode a message. Each word or phrase in the message is converted into a number that corresponds to a page, line, and word in the key document. The recipient can then use the key to decode the message by looking up the corresponding words.

How do you encrypt message on python?

You could use the hashlib module and encrypt your string into MD5 or SHA.


A cipher is called symmetric if it takes just as much computing time to encrypt a plaintext as it does to decrypt a ciphertext?

A symmetric cipher means that the key is the same for scrambling and unscrambling the data. Symmetric = same
