Advanced Encryption Standard

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), also known by its original name Rijndael, is a specification for the encryption of electronic data established by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2001.

ASCII

ASCII, an acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange, is a character encoding standard for electronic communication.

See Whirlpool (hash function) and ASCII

Block cipher

In cryptography, a block cipher is a deterministic algorithm that operates on fixed-length groups of bits, called blocks.

See Whirlpool (hash function) and Block cipher

Branch number

In cryptography, the branch number is a numerical value that characterizes the amount of diffusion introduced by a vectorial Boolean function that maps an input vector to output vector F(a).

C (programming language)

C (pronounced – like the letter c) is a general-purpose programming language.

Common Lisp

Common Lisp (CL) is a dialect of the Lisp programming language, published in American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard document ANSI INCITS 226-1994 (S2018) (formerly X3.226-1994 (R1999)).

Cryptographic hash function

A cryptographic hash function (CHF) is a hash algorithm (a map of an arbitrary binary string to a binary string with a fixed size of n bits) that has special properties desirable for a cryptographic application. Whirlpool (hash function) and cryptographic hash function are cryptographic hash functions.

Cryptography

Cryptography, or cryptology (from κρυπτός|translit.

See Whirlpool (hash function) and Cryptography

Differential cryptanalysis

Differential cryptanalysis is a general form of cryptanalysis applicable primarily to block ciphers, but also to stream ciphers and cryptographic hash functions.

See Whirlpool (hash function) and Differential cryptanalysis

Exclusive or

Exclusive or, exclusive disjunction, exclusive alternation, logical non-equivalence, or logical inequality is a logical operator whose negation is the logical biconditional.

FreeOTFE

FreeOTFE is a discontinued open source computer program for on-the-fly disk encryption (OTFE).

Hexadecimal

In mathematics and computing, the hexadecimal (also base-16 or simply hex) numeral system is a positional numeral system that represents numbers using a radix (base) of sixteen.

International Electrotechnical Commission

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC; Commission électrotechnique internationale) is an international standards organization that prepares and publishes international standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies – collectively known as "electrotechnology".

MDS matrix

An MDS matrix (maximum distance separable) is a matrix representing a function with certain diffusion properties that have useful applications in cryptography.

See Whirlpool (hash function) and MDS matrix

Merkle–Damgård construction

In cryptography, the Merkle–Damgård construction or Merkle–Damgård hash function is a method of building collision-resistant cryptographic hash functions from collision-resistant one-way compression functions. Whirlpool (hash function) and Merkle–Damgård construction are cryptographic hash functions.

One-way compression function

In cryptography, a one-way compression function is a function that transforms two fixed-length inputs into a fixed-length output. Whirlpool (hash function) and one-way compression function are cryptographic hash functions.
