English

Subject field(s)
  • Electronic Warfare
  • Intelligence (Military)
  • Encryption and Decryption
CONT

Unlike every other ciphering system described in this article, one time key encryption does not rely on an exotic secret algorithm microcircuit or a pseudo random key stream generator (although the System 700 also has a stream cipher capability that can be called on to encrypt less sensitive material).

Domaine(s)
  • Guerre électronique
  • Renseignement (Militaire)
  • Chiffrage et déchiffrage
CONT

À la différence des autres procédés de chiffrement décrits dans cet article, celui de la «clé qui ne sert qu'une fois» ne repose pas sur quelque microcircuit exotique à algorithme secret ou sur un générateur de clés pseudo-aléatoires (le System 700 possède toutefois lui aussi une capacité de chiffrement par suite de clés, utilisable lorsque l'on ne recherche pas un degré de secret élevé).
