English

Subject field(s)
  • Encryption and Decryption
  • IT Security
  • Banking
DEF

Encryption that produces ciphertext from which the original data cannot be reproduced.

OBS

Irreversible encryption is useful in authentication. For example, a password might be irreversibly encrypted and the resulting ciphertext stored. A password presented later would be irreversibly encrypted identically and the two strings of ciphertext compared. If they are identical, the presented password is correct.

OBS

irreversible encipherment: term standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1993.

Key term(s)
  • irreversible encypherment

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chiffrage et déchiffrage
  • Sécurité des TI
  • Banque
DEF

Chiffrement produisant un cryptogramme à partir duquel les données originelles ne peuvent être reconstituées.

OBS

Le chiffrement irréversible est utilisé en particulier au cours des procédures d'authentification. Par exemple, un mot de passe est chiffré de façon irréversible, et le cryptogramme ainsi obtenu est stocké. Un mot de passe introduit ultérieurement sera alors chiffré de façon identique, et les deux cryptogrammes seront comparés. S'ils sont identiques, le mot de passe introduit est correct.

OBS

chiffrement irréversible : terme normalisé par l'Organisation internationale de normalisation (ISO) en 1993.
