Padding
Most plaintext messages will not consist of an even number of blocks. Often,
the last block is short, making it necessary to add a padding string. For
example, if the block length is 64 bits and the last block contains only 40 bits,
then 24 bits of padding must be added.
This padding string can consist of all zeros, alternating zeros and ones, or
some other pattern. Some encryption standards specify a particular padding
scheme, such as the one described in the next section.
Applications using CryptoAPI need not add padding to their plaintext before it
is encrypted, nor do they have to remove it after decrypting. This is all
handled automatically by CryptoAPI.
PKCS Padding
This padding scheme is defined by RSA Data Security, Inc. and is documented in Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS), PKCS #5, section 6.2.
When this method is used, a padding string is always added, even if the
plaintext message divides evenly into blocks. The padding string consists of a
sequence of bytes, each of which is equal to the total number of bytes in the padding
string. If 24 bits of padding need to be added, then the padding string is "03
03 03." If 64 bits of padding needs to be added, then the string is "08 08 08
08 08 08 08 08."

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
