Abstract

In this paper modes of operation for block ciphers are considered. The focus is on a special class of modes, called the block chaining modes. We discuss modes with finite and infinite error propagation and propose the Accumulated Block Chaining (ABC) mode of the latter type. ABC is proposed for application for the Advanced Encryption Standard.
