What are the encryption algorithms used in ATM?

fot the past 25 years single des algorithm was used. But now triple des is used in atm cards for the encryption and decryption.


How do you draw flowchart for overloaded functions?

You don't. A flowchart is one form of a visualization for an algorithm. Overloaded functions are one of many tools used to implement such an algorithm. The algorithm (and, therefore, the flowchart) isn't concerned with the tool needed for the implementation.


Which encryption algorithm is better and why?

If you're talking about symmetric key encryption (the kind where you just use one key for encryption and decryption), then arguably, the best encryption algorithm you can use is the Rijndael algorithm, better known now as AES (advanced encryption standard). It is the encryption standard used by the U.S. government for classified information. It is fast, requires little memory, and the only potential attacks against it are highly theoretical. Rijndael beat out Twofish and Serpent in the AES standard contest, but those other two algorithms will provide more than enough security as well. In the end, it doesn't really matter, since most successful attacks are made simply by finding out your key through brute force, espionage or extortion, rather than pure data analysis. Humans are almost always the weakest point when it comes to security, and it doesn't matter what algorithm you use if someone can guess your password.


How does virtual function support run time polymorphism?

Virtual functions are used to suport runtime polymorphism.In C++,if we have inheritance and we have overridden functions in the inherited classes,we can declare a base class pointer and make it to point to the objects of derived classes.When we give a keyword virtual to the base class functions,the compiler will no do static binding,so during runtime ,the base class pointer can be used to call the functions of the derived classes.Thus virtual functions support dynamic polymorphism.


What is Plaintext?

Plaintext is easily readable or, to be more accurate, decrypted/unencrypted text. This is opposed to ciphertext, which is encrypted. If you used an encryption algorithm to encode your message of "Hello, there" to "4hgu28fhdjf83291". The plaintext form would be: "Hello, there" The ciphertext form would be: "4hgu28fhdjf83291"

What are some uses for encryption algorithms?

Encryption algorithms are typically used in computer communications. An encryption algorithm provides a secure transfer for data by encrypting it before presenting at another computer or elsewhere.


What is advanced encryption standard?

AES is an encryption algorithm that is largely used in a lot of places where security is a must. The algorithm is based on Rijndael (named after the creators) which had the winning design when the US government sent out an invite for people to create secure algorithms that would replace DES.

How can I decode a secret message in a PNG?

You will have to know the encryption algorithm and the key used. If you do not know these you will need to use cryptanalysis to "crack" it. This is not easy (obviously).


Is the iPhone app oneSafe actually safe?

Yes! oneSafe is using the strongest encryption algorithm available, AES256, to store securely all your confidential on your iPhone or iPad. The key used by the encryption algorithm is randomly generated and no one is able to decode the data without the password configured during the first utilization.


What is a Xor cypher used for?

XOR cipher is a form of encryption algorithm. In simple terms, the cipher is used to decode binary language. For more details, Wikipedia is a great resource.


How does symmetric key encryption work?

Symmetric encryption requires that both parties (sender and receiver) know and have the exact same encryption key. This key is used both for encrypting and decrypting the data. Using the same encryption algorithm means that only those individuals that know or have the same key will be able to read any messages encrypted by the symmetric key.
