![]() Might also be an idea to adjust the note about how ESSIV was developed to avoid watermarking attacks in the disk encryption theory page. In fact, to my knowledge the only open source cryptographic disk which was vulnerable to watermarking attacks was Linux's cryptoloop. I'll take a stab at it, now.Įlric 21:06, 15 January 2007 (UTC) Reply Sorry to reply to my own post, but I was lead to this thought because the table seems to imply that generating IVs with ESSIV is the only way to avoid watermarking attacks. Insecure IV, secure IV, random keys, LRW. I propose that we cut the table up with columns: CBC, Listed and in reality there are many distinct variants of CBC based on how it was decided to ![]() Help us communicate the important information in a more clear manner. I have had a look at this table and I think that a slight restructuring of the terms would Kasperd 13:48, 27 December 2006 (UTC) Reply But as long as it is described what it means, I think it is OK. Maybe there is a better name, but I can't come up with one right now. Is this what you had in mind? " "Plain CBC" means that the CBC initialization vectors are statically derived from the sector number and and not secret that is, they are re-used when overwriting a sector and can easily be guessed by an attacker." - intgr 11:22, 27 December 2006 (UTC) Reply I think that description is good. Kasperd 07:52, 27 December 2006 (UTC) Reply Thank you for your input. People who knows CBC, but does not know storage encrytion, should be able to read the article and understand that the mode differs from real CBC. I think storage encryption is the only area where this reduced security variant of CBC is being used. To the best of my knowledge no storage encryption does exactly that. I don't think using the term plain CBC without explanation is a good idea. This article has been rated as High-importance on the importance scale.
