  Initialization vector - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In straight-forward operation of block ciphers or so-called Electronic Code Book (ECB) mode, encryption of the same plain text with the same key results in the same ciphertext, which is a considerable threat to security.
Use of an initialization vector linearly added to (XORed with) the first block of plaintext or included in front of the plaintext prior to encryption in one of the streaming modes of operation resolves this problem.
In stream ciphers, IVs are loaded into the keyed internal secret state of the cipher, after which a number of cipher rounds is executed prior to releasing the first bit of output.

 Napier88 Reference Manual - 9.1.1 Creation of Vectors   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
is a vector of integers, whose type is written as *int, with lower bound 1 and variable locations initialised to 1, 2, 3 and 4.
The lower bound of this vector is -1 and the upper bound is 3.
A third form of vector initialisation is provided to allow the elements of a vector to be initialised by a function over the index.

Thus multiplication and division of a vector by a scalar are both allowed, but it is an error to multiply or divide one vector by another.
        Vectors may be used as arguments in the differentiation and integration routines in place of the dependent expression.
The result is a vector obtained by applying the function component-wise to the argument vector.

 Chapter 6: Instruction Set Design for Multimedia
Each vector element can be viewed as a packed register of 8- or 16-bit subwords (The choice of vector register number and sizes will be studied in more detail in Section 6.2).
Vector pack and unpack instructions are used to convert between subword data types.
However, parallel vector architectures suffer from a similar problem which requires a separate aligning network and that is one of the reasons that the pipelined vector systems have an advantage.

 CryptoSys Blowfish Manual
In Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode, an initialisation vector (IV) is added to the first block of plaintext before encryption and the resultant ciphertext is added to the next block of plaintext before encryption, and so on.
The initialisation vectors should always be at least the same length as the block size, i.e.
The key and initialisation vector are passed as hexadecimal strings.

 DCE 1.1: Authentication and Security Services - Encryption/Decryption Mechanisms
, the role of the initialisation vector is to "initialise" the CBC algorithm, by using it to "scramble" the first block of plaintext.
In this usage, initialisation vectors are chosen randomly, so that knowledge of common patterns that are present in the first blocks of many plaintexts (that is, "known plaintexts", such as occur in standard headers of protocol data units) cannot potentially be used in a cryptanalytic attack.
The DES-CBC checksum of a plaintext P, with respect to a key K and an initialisation vector IV, is by definition the final block of DES-CBC(K, IV, P).

Most manufacturers add the size of the Initialisation Vector (24 bits) to make the WEP keys look bigger (64 bits and 128 bits, respectively).
3) Explain what the Initialisation Vector is and how it helps make WEP weak (2 marks) The Initialisation Vector (IV) is a 24 bit number pre-pended to the WEP secret key to form a 64-bit, or 128-bit, key to the RC-4 Pseudo-Random Sequence Generator (PRSG) used to encrypt the data.
The IV should be unique for each packet transmitted, but in some implementations it isn't and, in any case, with only 24 bits, it will definitely repeat after 2^24 packets are sent (could be as often as about every 5 hours).

Encryption mode is CBC everywhere: at first each open text block of length 32 bytes is added by modulo 2 with an initialization vector, then it is encrypted by a key, and this cipher text is used as initialization vector for the following block.
Initializing vector from the previous packet is used; actually key is a result of applications of hash-function to the processed user password (i.e.
Initializing vectors (one for the user password and one for a key of sectors of a disk) and sector encryption key generation is made by the built-in generator of strong encryption-protested random numbers (RNG).

 10.2 Modes of enciphering   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
In another mode, an additional ``key''-like entity called Initialisation Vector is used which consists of one bit for each message block.
This way the different blocks correspond to different keys and so the size of the dictionary required for a dictionary attack is much larger even if the initialisation vector is well-known.
This method is known as Cipher Block Chaining, since the message cannot be decrypted unless the blocks are arranged in the sequence in which they were encrypted.

CBC solves this by using an initialisation vector (IV); this block can be any random data and is used to XOR the first block of plaintext.
The two most important properties are key and IV (the initialisation vector), you could set just these two properties and then use the class.

The difference between initialisation and assignment only becomes significant when a class allocates memory dynamically from the heap for its objects.
Vector *v1 = new Vector(3); Vector *v2 = new Vector(*v1);.
This is the difference between assignment and initialisation; on assignment the object being assigned to already has a piece of dynamic memory associated with it, on initialisation there is no "old" dynamic memory associated with the object.

However, since deployment of security is never speedy, due to government intervention and export problems, RTP [#!rtp!#]has defined how streams can be encrypted at the RTP layer to provide confidentiality.
The base encryption algorithm used is DES in CBC mode, with the initialisation vector chosen to be zero.
RTP packets have pseudo random headers from the time stamp, but since RTCP has known plaintext at the start of each packet, a random 32 bit number is prepended to the RTCP header before encryption.

 Stroustrup: C++ Style and Technique FAQ
When a vector needs more memory for elements, is allocates more; when a vector goes out of scope, it frees that memory.
Another advantage of vector here is that memcpy() is not going to do the right thing for elements with copy constructors, such as strings.
Often, a vector is a better alternative to a free-store-allocated array (e.g., consider exception safety).
