What happens when you use the same encryption algorithm multiple times?
By increasing the complexity of your system, you increase the number of security decisions you have to make, and increase the potential for security failures and bugs. Do you perform two sequential AES block transforms for each block process in CBC, or do you encrypt everything with AES-CBC and then encrypt it all again?
Can You encrypt a block twice with the same key?
So, summing up, applying same algorithm several times can lead to continuum of consequences – from complete annihilation of encryption (XOR 2 times with the same key) to turning otherwise non-secure crypto-primitive into a really secure encryption. No, encrypting a block twice with the same algorithm and key does not introduce any weakness.
How are symmetric keys encrypted in multiple encryption?
First layer of the encryption: The ciphertext of the original readable message is hashed, and subsequently the symmetric keys are encrypted via the asymmetric key – e.g. deploying the algorithm RSA. In an intermediate step the ciphertext, and the hash digest of the ciphertext are combined into a capsule,…
How to encrypt two ciphertexts at the same time?
Generate a random pad R of the same size as the plaintext. Encrypt R using the first cipher and key. XOR the plaintext with the pad, then encrypt the result using the second cipher and a different (!) key. Concatenate both ciphertexts in order to build the final ciphertext. A cryptanalyst must break both ciphers to get any information.
