Initialization vector

In cryptography, an initialization vector (IV) or starting variable is an input to a cryptographic primitive being used to provide the initial state.

See Linux.Encoder and Initialization vector

KeRanger

KeRanger (also known as OSX.KeRanger.A) is a ransomware trojan horse targeting computers running macOS. Linux.Encoder and KeRanger are ransomware and trojan horses.

See Linux.Encoder and KeRanger

Key (cryptography)

A key in cryptography is a piece of information, usually a string of numbers or letters that are stored in a file, which, when processed through a cryptographic algorithm, can encode or decode cryptographic data.

See Linux.Encoder and Key (cryptography)

Linux

Linux is both an open-source Unix-like kernel and a generic name for a family of open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds.

See Linux.Encoder and Linux

Magento

Magento is an open-source e-commerce platform written in PHP.

See Linux.Encoder and Magento

Mbed TLS

Mbed TLS (previously PolarSSL) is an implementation of the TLS and SSL protocols and the respective cryptographic algorithms and support code required.

See Linux.Encoder and Mbed TLS

Pseudorandom number generator

A pseudorandom number generator (PRNG), also known as a deterministic random bit generator (DRBG), is an algorithm for generating a sequence of numbers whose properties approximate the properties of sequences of random numbers.

See Linux.Encoder and Pseudorandom number generator

Public-key cryptography

Public-key cryptography, or asymmetric cryptography, is the field of cryptographic systems that use pairs of related keys.

See Linux.Encoder and Public-key cryptography

Random seed

A random seed (or seed state, or just seed) is a number (or vector) used to initialize a pseudorandom number generator.

See Linux.Encoder and Random seed

Ransomware

Ransomware is a type of cryptovirological malware that permanently blocks access to the victim's personal data unless a "ransom" is paid.

See Linux.Encoder and Ransomware

RSA (cryptosystem)

RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman) is a public-key cryptosystem, one of the oldest widely used for secure data transmission.

See Linux.Encoder and RSA (cryptosystem)

Tor (network)

Tor is a free overlay network for enabling anonymous communication.

See Linux.Encoder and Tor (network)

Trojan horse (computing)

In computing, a Trojan horse (or simply Trojan) is any malware that misleads users of its true intent by disguising itself as a standard program. Linux.Encoder and Trojan horse (computing) are trojan horses.
