CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 10116-01 (R2005)

Scope

This International Standard describes four modes of operation for an n-bit block cipher.

NOTE - Annex A (informative) contains comments on the properties of each mode.

This International Standard establishes four defined modes of oper ation so that in applications of an n-bit block cipher (e.g.
protection of data transmission, data storage, authentication)
this International Standard will provide a useful reference for, for example, the specification of the mode of operation and the values of parameters (as appropriate).
