Are unsalted AES encrypted data less or more secure than a salted

you read too much wikipedia son

Who knows! Max does:

Can someone give me a quick rundown on who Max Headroom was and how did he take over the transmission frequency?

>>59164559
By salted,do you mean the random data that's hashed together with a password to get a key?
A salt is known data,so I don't think it provides any extra protection for modes other than ecb.

>>59164559
I might've read your shit wrong, but....
Last I checked, the very purpose of salting passwords (by which I think you're referring to AES keys) is to prevent the insecurities the associated with identical passwords.

George Soros bows to Max Headroom

Encrypted, not hashed. Otherwise, yeah, you get the concept.

>>59165423
Yep, that's the purpose of salting hashes. The reason why you hash passwords instead of encrypting them is that when a system is compromised, you can presume that the encryption key for those passwords would be compromised too. That's why you hash instead; making it prohibitively expensive to crack every password.

>>59164559
You don't salt encrypted data. The fuck are you talking about?

>>59165986
You might, to prevent the kind of attack that I described, which CBC exists to prevent.

Well, I guess I misspoke, but if you understand the purpose of CBC you get what I mean. Salted data that is encrypted with AES, rather than encrypted data being salted.

>>59164559
CBC is fine as long as you have good quality entropy in your initialization vector. How is a salt going to have any effect on the outcome of the AES cipher?

>>59167000
It might prevent an attacker from sending the same message twice claiming to be someone else, depending on the salt.

What I'm worried about is

this. I'm encrypting UTF-8 encoded text.

what the fuck is the p word? pepsi?

>>59168105
Don't say it.

>>59164559

I have no idea what the fuck you're asking

Neither does he. Most of his "question" is just word soup, the rest of it is concepts he doesn't grasp.
