Q. Which of the following can be classified under advantages and disadvantages of OFB mode?

i) Transmission errors
ii) A bit error in a ciphertext segment
iii) Cannot recover from lost ciphertext segments
iv) Ciphertext or segment loss

View solution

Q. In OFB Transmission errors do not propagate: only the current ciphertext is affected, since keys are generated “locally”.
