 Avalanche (cryptography) Definition / Avalanche (cryptography) Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
In cryptography, the avalanche effect refers to a desirable property of cryptographic algorithmsAn algorithm is a finite set of well-defined instructions for accomplishing some task which, given an initial state, will result in a corresponding recognisable end-state (contrast with heuristic).
The avalanche effect is evident if, when an input is changed slightly (for example, flipping a single bit) the output changes significantly (eg, half the output bits flip).
In the case of quality block ciphers, such a small change in either the key or the plaintextIn cryptography, plaintext is information used as input to an encryption algorithm; the output is termed ciphertext.
