They then commonly send a challenge - a random string for the other end to return encrypted where the originating end then decrypts and verifies.ĭual key encryption requires a fair deal of explanation and will be explained in a later article, likely over the Christmas break when I have some more time off from school and work. The public key would be sent to a person to encrypt the data, and after that it's no longer used, and the private key remains the only one capable of decrypting the data.īoth server and client generate the two keys and exchange public keys (since they cannot be used to decrypt). It works by generating two keys, more commonly the public key and the private key. One of the systems developed to overcome this situation is the dual key encryption, which is a commonly used system for PGP based encryption as some of you may already know. The result ends up being the ciphertext (C), which is unreadable as PHP code.
#Xor Encrypt Decrypt Php code#
The plaintext (A) string is malicious code that attackers then encrypt on their end by using XOR with a key (B) string. The previously encrypted PHP code can then be executed. For a subscription service, one could even use an account number as their key, though it may not take a whole lot for a hacker to realize this and, knowing a user's account number, exploit it. It is then decrypted to plain text (A) when a malicious user submits the key (B) in a request. While on the other hand, writing individual keys into each client, and then all of those keys into the server requires that the user identify itself in clear text, and also causes the problem that each key has to be encoded.
Writing the keys directly into the program also poses a problem, that if there exists more then one copy of the server / client, then they can easily be used to decrypt the other's data since they both contain the same key. If you use vast key (as long as encrypted message) which is random (space noise recorded on a cd), the encrypted message is also radnom - impossible to decrypt without key. I cannot agree with 'kid-sister' post below. It is used to encrypt stealth submarines orders. Transmitting the key as clear text over the internet is just as bad as not having the data encrypted and if that is the intent, then you may as well not bother encrypting to begin with. XOR encryption is an ultimate encryption algorithm. TCP and UDP connections do not work like this unfortunately. However, should a false key be used for the decryption, the data remains encrypted.ĭecrypted String: 1111111101011 Not perfect. The original string has been recovered and is now good for use again. Next, to decrypt the data all we have to do is reXOR the encrypted string with the same encryption key: Multibyte XOR gets exponentially harder the longer the key, but if the encrypted text is long enough, character frequency analysis. The other point is - why re-invent the wheel If you want to encrypt data, there is a package already there (DBMSCRYPTO) that has a nice secure encryption algorithm available for you to use. Unless you are using one-time keys that are throwaway, it would be relatively easy to crack. Now we have an encrypted string safe for storage or transfer (encrypted with a 3bit encryption key). The point is that a simple XOR 'encryption' isnt very secure. Since the key is not as long as the string we wish to encrypt we will be required to cycle the key. Now with this, all we have to do is XOR the string to encrypt with the key and we get the encrypted string. This key can be the binary equivalent from a character or string, same deal as above.
Well now that we have something to encrypt, let's generate a key. Now, let's take the binary string 1110001100101 - This string can be the binary equivalent to any character(s) what is relevant though is that you understand the importance at a binary level.
(Only the first or second gate can be active for it to return true, otherwise it will return false). It performs very much like an OR gate only it does not allow for both bits to be active. The XOR gate (also known as the Exclusive-OR gate) simply looks for two bits and will return one. Well since i have to go on a 5 day camp with my school, i thought that i would leave another tutorial. Posted: Sun 5:35 am Post subject: XOR based encryption.
