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

This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC 10116:1997. 1 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).
